DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SUCCESS

If you have the desire you have the power to be successful.
You can really have anything you want in life if you go after it.
But you have to want it.
The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal is that you simply want to reach it badly enough.
You must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity to be successful.
As a drowning soul desires air,
as a shipwrecked person craves fresh water, so must you feel that intense, eager, insistent, demanding, ravenous desire for your success.
Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it becomes the very breath of your life.
It must be your first thought when you wake up, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can have anything you want if you go after it with intensity.
