REALITY FORMS AROUND YOUR COMMITMENTS
________________________________
Desire is the starting point of achievement. Your desires are the precursors of the things which you are capable of doing or having. These desires can in time externalize themselves into concrete fact. Your intense anticipation itself will transform your possibilities into reality. Weak desires will bring you weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat. If you just care enough for any result, you'll almost certainly attain it.
Nothing has more strength than dire necessity. The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it. If you have the will, you'll find a way.

My Comments:
Dire necessity is something that only the mind creates. That's the weird thing about attaining goals, you've got to create the need in your mind to get the results you want. I'm going to repeat this sentence. You've got to create the need in your mind to get the results you want.
If in your mind you tell yourself repeatedly that something must get done, it will become a core value. Take any basic core value you have. Let's say it's watching football on Sunday. It is something central to your core value system. The result is, you set aside time specifically to accomplish your goal of watching football on Sunday. You may even go to the store, buy beer or soda, have the number ready for ordering pizza and buy bags of chips and pretzels. You may iron your team jersey and arrange, via phone calls, to have all your friends over to watch the game and on and on and on.
You make it happen because you are committed to this core value. This used to be me with the football on Sundays. I gave up doing this and focused this exact energy on making other things happen in my life. Now on Sundays, I must go to church and then go out in the community, meet people and acquire customers for my real estate business.
Making money to provide for my family in an extraordinary way will not happen by sitting in front of a television. Watching football does not make me money, therefore it is no longer a core value. Do I watch some football, sure I do. I like the Giants...but I don't have to schedule a day around watching some game that puts absolutely no money in my pocket and in fact used to take about $25 in cash from me every Sunday. And now that I am making money by replacing that core value of watching football, the real cost to me in time and lost opportunity exceeds hundreds of thousands of dollars. When I think of that, I feel robbed.
So copy and paste the above motivational. Put it on your computer, print it up and place it in an area where you'll be able to see it everyday. If you want it enough, you will make it happen. If you have the will, you'll find the way.
