Desire & Work

ByMatthew

If life was so easy that you could just go buy success, there would be a lot more successful companies in the world. Successful enterprise are built from the ground up. – Lou Gerstner

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

Money can’t buy happiness, nor can it buy success.

Success must be earned.

How do you “succeed?”

By desiring it more than safety, or comfort.

Small, tepid desire = small tepid results.

Big, massive, hot desire = big, massive, hot results.

You get to decide every day by what you choose.

Choose big desire.

Choose to build.

    ByMatthew

    Everyone (in self-help and related fields), it seems, talks about “loving-what-you-do.” And how they have the formula/process/program/book to help you do it. It’s bad advice and a disservice to promise such. Putting aside my theory about how purpose is not outside us and nothing we need discover or create (it’s within and covered by by “crap”)…

    Oh, my friend, it’s not what they take away from you that counts.  It’s what you do with what you have left. – Hubert Humphrey People discount themselves all the time. Unfortunately many focus on what’s gone wrong or what they don’t have or what seems out-of-reach. It’s the focus that causes the problem. We have…

  • The Power of Your W.O.B.

    ByMatthew

    Huh? What’s a W.O.B. you may ask? It’s something that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. W.O.B. stands for Way of Being (WOB). It’s a catch-all term for how you think, feel and act. And it’s so vitally important. I’ll be writing more about this in the future, but I wanted to share something…
