Being passionate hastens results

By Bayo Ogunmupe Passion allows you to be more than you are. It is a key to success as it hastens your ability to get results. Also, it is the thing that ties you to your ambition when you’re not seeing results yet and going through hard times reaching your goal. Most people lack the patience of waiting for results because they don’t exactly know what they want and what their passion is. If you don’t know what you want from life, chances are you drift and fail to achieve much. This is understandable if you are living at this period of time in history when life is very hectic. Thus, by the end of the day you are exhausted and too sleepy to plan your life’s goals. Then, weekend rolls around with hanging out at parties beckoning, thinking about your dreams will be very far from your attention. However, it is very easy to discover what you want from life. And when you discover what you passionately want in life, you’re much more likely to achieve it. Here is a technique that help you quickly identify the goals that will be most meaningful to your life. Sadly, by the time many people are 30, they would have had so many setbacks that they would have closed down their ability to dream big. But life is never a bed of roses. Our disappointments enable us become wiser. These setbacks condition us to expect more challenges in the future. Which forces you to overcome your self-limiting beliefs by learning new steps. Indeed, to know exactly what you want to achieve is the lodestar of success. However, if you are one of the many who don’t know what they want, to discover what you want in life, do the following exercise: Look at your life right now and write out the things that cause you pain. These heartaches could include your career, the location of your home, relationships, your finances and health. The next step is to convert those challenges to concrete goals. You only convert each problem to its opposite to achieve your aims. If you found for example, your job uninteresting, you could easily create a new goal of finding in six months a new job that you will find both exciting and fulfilling. Thus, for the very reasons that you are currently suffering in any area of your life, you can transform them into powerful goals that will motivate you to create the change that you wish to see. As the first to create automobiles, Henry Ford of Ford Motors, said: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you are right.” Many hold themselves back because of their self limiting beliefs. However, you can achieve anything you want in life provided you set clear goals, take right actions and start using the strategies of past goal getters. In the classic book on motivation, Think and grow Rich, its author, Napoleon Hill explains that by summoning up a deep burning desire, you will achieve your goals. This is because desire is a compelling force for change. Though a deep desire to help other people can change the world. However, the all pervading desire for more money and material possessions, is often destructive and completely unfulfilling. Desire is a powerful creative force without which we cannot live. It is desire that makes us get out of bed in the morning, eat, sleep and work to make a living. Even your ability to read, relax, or listen to music is a fruit of desire. But whenever you create any goal, it is important for you to know why you want that goal. When you uncover your real reason, you will have an awesomely powerful motivating force that will drive your life exactly the direction you both want and need. When you desire something, it is important to ask yourself why? Is the thing you desire worthwhile and also contribute to the happiness of others? To get the reason for setting a goal, you add “so that” after. The reason for your goal could be: So that I can live my life to the fullest. So that I can positively influence others. So that I can be truly fulfilled. You can easily achieve your goal if your reason for it is altruistic.
