Desire

Desire alone is not enough. But to lack desire, means to lack a key ingredient to success. Many a talented individual failed because they lacked desire. Many victories have been snatched by the underdog because they wanted it more. So if you desire ~ intensely ~ and you act upon it, then everything stands within your reach.

"Desire creates the power."
Raymond Holliwell

“You learn that, whatever you are doing in life, obstacles don't matter very much. Pain or other circumstances can be there, but if you want to do a job bad enough, you'll find a way to get it done.”
Jack Youngblood

“Ignore what a man desires and you ignore the very source of his power...”
​Walter Lippmann

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”

“You can have anything you want -- if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, have anything you desire, accomplish anything you set out to accomplish -- if you will hold to that desire with singleness of purpose."

“Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It's a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.”

“The greatest trouble with most of us is that our demands upon ourselves are so feeble, the call upon the great within of us so weak and intermittent that it makes no impression upon the creative energies; it lacks the force that transmutes desires into realities.”
​Orison Swett Marden

“The starting point of all achievement is desire. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desires bring weak results, just as a small amount of fire makes a small amount of heat”
​Napoleon Hill

“All our dreams can come true — if we have the courage to pursue them.”
​Walt Disney

"Nothing is impossible to a willing heart."

“For the resolute and determined there is time and opportunity”
​Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Through some strange and powerful principle of “mental chemistry” which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of strong desire, “that something” which recognizes no such word as “impossible”, and accepts no such reality as failure”
​Napoleon Hill
