Desire and the Role It Plays In Everything We Do
People underestimate the importance of desire. Nothing can happen without desire. It precedes every action, including the act of getting out of bed in the morning. If you don’t have a desire to do so, you’re not going to do so.
Actually, let me clarify that a little further. If your desire to get out of bed is not greater than your desire to stay in bed, then you’re not going anywhere. Everybody has a desire to do something. You might be saying to yourself, “You’re wrong, Matt. I don’t want to do anything.” Well, in actuality, you’re saying, “I have a desire to do nothing.”
And why is that? Because not only are both desire and lack of desire a conscious choice, so are the actions that result from them. Desire in the mind and the actions (or inactions) that follow do not exist in a vacuum. Ultimately, every person must decide what they will do with their desire or their perceived lack thereof.
That decision—and whatever results from it—represents desire on the part of the person who made the decision.
I’ll be writing about this subject in a number of future blogs. Namely because I have a desire to do so.

Think About This:
“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen, pulsating desire which transcends everything.”
Napoleon Hill, American author (1883-1970)
