The One Thing That Determines Reaching Your Goal(s)

How bad do you want it?  How bad do you want to achieve your goal or goals?  Do you wake up every day energized and determined to make it?  Do have a burning fire inside you that will not let you stop or quit - almost like an obsession of reaching the levels you aspire to?

If you do, you have what you need to reach your goals.  The #1 thing that determines whether you will reach your goals is the deep burning desire to reach them.  A desire so strong that nothing can quelch it.  It is desire that drives you and moves you every day to keep going not stopping until you have achieved the goals you want.  

But, how do you get "desire?"  Can it be coached?  Is it something you just have to have?  It's really a little bit of both.  Coaching desire is really helping someone or yourself fully understand what you want and gain clarity around it.  But, the other piece is that once you are clear on what you want - you cannot stop thinking about what you need to do to get it.  You cannot stop working at it and finding ways to make it a reality.  You innovate and work through problems.  You use adversity to your favor to fuel the fire to reach the goal even more.  You have to want it and want it bad.  As noted above, in some ways, it becomes an obsession - albeit a healthy one.  

If you've ever read Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, he states that the secret of the book is right there for you throughout the book.  That secret is to have a "burning desire" for something.  If you have a true burning desire, you cannot help but go after what you want.  And you will know it if you don't, because you won't wake up each day thinking of every way possible to get it.

What is it you really truly want?  Think deep and hard on it.  What is the thing that sticks in the back of your mind more than anything else?  Better yet, what is it that you know you should be doing and maybe are too scared to step out of the comfort zone and do - but you can't stop thinking about?  Figure it out, follow your desire to get it and let it take you to whole new possibilities.
