One time I was at a motivational seminar and a presenter dunked a guys head in a bucket of water...and wouldn't let him come up for air...not until the guy REALLY struggled, and pushed up hard to get his head out of the water...to get air. Then the speaker said, "When you want success as much as you want air to breath, that's when you'll be successful."
Might sound kind of corny, but I totally got it. That's why I still remember it. Here's another analogy of how BURNING your desire should be...not a wish, but a desire:
"A long while ago, a great warrior had to make a decision which ensured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy's country, unloaded his soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, 'You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores unless we win! We now have no choice--we win or we perish!' They won. Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success."
What is you burning desire?
