In life, we do things out of inspiration or desperation. One of two unleashes our desire from within with a purpose that makes it burning and unrelenting. And, once our desire reaches that level, there is no turning back. We will achieve what we desire.

Here's a simple illustration. Vividly imagine that your closest loved one has been afflicted with a rare disease. And, only way to save them is to legally produce $1 MM in next 60 days for necessary ailments. Do you think you would find a way to make this happen?

I know I would. I'm sure everyone would if they truly loved that person.

You see, in our example desire or need is to produce $1 MM in 60 days. But, wouldn't everyone like to have $1 MM in next 60 days. I'd bet you'd have a harder time finding someone who wouldn't than actually making $1 MM. Yet, most people will never produce $1 MM neither in next 60 days, nor in their lifetime. However, with purpose of saving our closest loved one, everyone would make it happen.

So how can we take this knowledge and put it into action to serve us in our lives?

First, we must not mistaken a burning desire, for a hope, a wish, or a fantasy. It is a keen, burning, pulsating, unrelenting mandate which you place on yourself that will transcend any challenge, obstacle or distraction that stands in your way. It is a definite and specific perceived reality from moment that you conceive it. You must focus so intensely on this desire that it consumes your whole state of being. Its achievement becomes an ongoing obsession.

Therein lays synergistically combined power of a worthwhile desire with an extremely meaningful purpose.

Now, couldn't you put powerful nature of your imagination to work, and create a purpose that would elicit a rocket-fuel burning desire to succeed from within you?

So, what is it that you desire? And, more importantly, why? What is purpose of your desire?

The only way to succeed in any endeavor is by defining a specific goal and placing all your energy, will power, effort, and action on achievement of that goal.

When you do, you will achieve whatever you desire.

The words that you read somehow seem to be more believable than if someone speaks them. That is not to discount what a well qualified person says, that dude might be as sharp as a cafeteria meatball; it's just way we learned from our childhood.

We believe what we read in books; it's a subconscious function, until we come across some scatterbrain that's full of alphabet soup. When he says something that completely goes against our personal beliefs or what we know to be true.

Let her Rip!

Let's look at some specifics: Let's take a person who is bothered by timidity. You already know what I think of fear; it's about as useful as a yard full of pump water.

Well, what's opposite of timidity? Aggressiveness! So, how can a person with fear motivate himself to round third and head for home? Two ways; first, by repeating as an example, "be aggressive", frequently throughout day.

He should do this especially when in a situation that causes fear. And, say "Do it now". Secondly, read books and articles that direct his mind in direction he wants it to go. If problem area is fear, he will want to read self help books about success and motivation.

The words that he reads will make an impression on his subconscious. That's why I caution people to be very careful what they read.

You will become what you feed your mind on. The subconscious is like a sponge. It will soak up anything and everything you feed it. And, it couldn't care less if you've strayed off reservation and now stewing in your own juice.

The Ball's in Your Court!

So, here is your formula for personal achievement. Read something that inspires you and then, to be enthusiastic, ACT enthusiastic. Or, whatever you're attempting to do. A great psychologist once said "if we act as if we feel in any given way, in time our feelings catch up with our actions".

And action can be physical or it can be mental. A thought can be stimulating but it's action that causes change in behavior from one direction to another.

Here are some techniques to help you. When you repeat an expression that you wish to use in changing a behavior, say it "loudly." This is particularly important if you are emotionally upset. If you have a fear of something like speaking in public, talk loudly.

Talk rapidly. Your mind functions faster when you speak rapidly. Plus, your mind doesn't have time to tell you that your doing something you're afraid of because you're too busy thinking of next sentence.

Emphasize words that are important in context of your situation. Example: If you are worried, say "PEACE", loudly and rapidly with emphasis to make an impression on subconscious. It will listen and will bring about peace to your emotions.

Your Mission In Life!

But, most important, and always, Do It Now!! . If you will do this, you will prove to yourself that you can motivate yourself to action and create desirable change to any behavior you want. Now, go look in mirror at that Cheshire-Cat Smile. :>)
