"Weather you think you can or you think you can't- You are right"

I believe people in general are as successful as they choose to be. I have found that if you approch life like it's a 15 round championship bout, you will achieve far greater in this world than you would have otherwise.

Waiting for life, success and happiness to find you or to fall into your lap is and absolute waist of "life itself".

Thrive on what you have today and work harder than anyone you know because this is not a practice run- This is Life, make it the best you possibly can and settle for nothing else!

To achieve anything in this world, you have to have a wellfounded

desire to do it.

Free Chapter- Fight for Success- How to get what you want in life through setting and achieving GOALS

Desire is not the same as need. We need food. We need oxygen.

We need sleep. These are all things we need to survive. You

don't need a piece of chocolate cake. You can survive without

it. But you may desire that piece of cake enough to go to the

store or to a restaurant and get it. In that case, it was your

desire that motivated you to take action. You don't necessarily

need to sleep in until noon on Sundays, but you may desire to

do so, and you may choose to act on that desire.

Where does desire come from?

Desire comes from being open-minded. A desire comes from

wanting something that you don’t already have, or wanting to

expand on something you already have. In other words, desire

takes us beyond mere survival and provides us with the

motivation to get the things we want in life.

The three main steps to achieving any goal

I’m not going to bore you with the average “Step one: want the

goal; Step two; just make it happen.” You can’t just make it

happen. If you could, you wouldn’t be reading this book,

because you’d already be there.

Instead I'm going to give you three realistic steps to achieving

your goals:

? You need intense desire

? You need positive, consistent action toward the

goal

? You need to "lighten up"

Let's look at each one of these.

You need intense desire

You must desire it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Your desire

has to be so intense that it feels like a need.

Let’s say you’ve always wanted a red Corvette. You’ve wanted

one since you were five years old. But you’re 35 or 45 now, and

that dream has kind of gone out the window. Every time you

see one drive by you really like it, and you think about maybe

one day getting one. But who knows?

You just don’t have the desire. Not enough to motivate you to

do what it takes to get the brand new sports car of your

dreams. You can want all day long - and it will turn into

nothing all day long. You have to desire it.

Now, buying a shiny red Corvette probably isn't a good goal if

you’re making $5,000 a year and you have a lot of debt. Or if

you have 17 kids and only two cars in the family. So you have

to have checks and balances for your goals. But to get

anything, you have to have that intense desire.

You need positive, consistent action toward the goal

What are you doing to attain your goal?

There are two kinds of consistency when it comes to goal

setting: positive and negative.

Negative consistency would be if you never start that savings

account, never look into buying a new car, never create a

desire in the first place. That’s negative. You consistently do

nothing.

Positive consistency means you're taking positive steps toward

getting that shiny red Corvette.

? You've started a savings account.

? You're looking at different banks for financing

options.

? You're trying to decide whether to buy new or used.

? You're thinking about what options you want.

? You're finding out what kind of trade-in value you

have on your current vehicle.

These are examples of consistent positive steps.

Here is where it falls apart for most people. Consistency lasts

only as long as your attention span. And in today’s society,

with iPods, cell phones, and everything being available

instantly in our drive-thru society, guess what - it seems like

we can’t stay focused on anything longer than five minutes. At

the most we get a week or two out of a great idea.

If I want to get across this room right now, I have to stake one

step at a time towards the other side of the room, over and over

again until I get there. If I get half way there and get distracted,

if turn left or right, if I turn around and come back - I won't get

where I set out to go. Do you follow? I hope so. Consistency will

win with any goal.

Positive consistency has also been referred to by many

individuals as action steps. It's anything you do as an action

towards that goal.

Be aware that you can also have negative action steps. Goals

aren't always positive. If you take negative action steps over

and over, you’ll achieving a whole mess of negative goals.

You need to "lighten up"

Really, you do have to lighten up when it comes to goal setting.

It's not the end of the world if you don’t get it tomorrow. It's not

the end of the world if you set a goal and then fail repeatedly

before you get it. You have to think like a child. You really have

to lighten up.

I remember being a five or six year old. I wanted some of the

most simple things in the world, but they were such a big deal

at the time. Maybe it was a new GI Joe action figure, or maybe

I wanted to stay up late and watch something on TV. Whatever

it was, it was such an intense desire, and I worked to get it

with positive consistency. “Mom, can I get this? Can we do

this? I really want this!” And that was really in my heart at the

time. But I also knew how to lighten up and enjoy life.

I wasn’t a bitter, jaded, day-in-and-day-out adult who didn’t

know how to be creative. Many adults are, for the most part,

very uncreative. They're struggling and moping through life.

They wake up and pour enough coffee down their throat just to

get to work. Then they make it through work, and they make it

home, only to get ready for the next day when they do it all

over again.

When your life becomes like that, you lose desire. You lose

consistency. And you don’t know how to lighten up and enjoy

life.

There's another whole book in this series in which we go much

farther into how to lighten up and enjoy life. For now,

remember that you have to have desire, you have to have

positive consistency, and you have to lighten up and not

take yourself so seriously.

If you do those things, you will accomplish any goal you set.

You just have to believe in that.
