I hope all is going well for all of you out there and you are reaping the benefits of the busiest time of the year in networking. Below is a piece I saw by Max Steingart and wanted to pass it on to you. It's a timeless piece!
DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT FOR SUCCESS
The first thing that will contribute to reaching your goal is that you simply want to reach it badly enough. You must learn how to desire with sufficient intensity to be successful.
If you have the desire you have the power to attain success. You can really have anything you want in life if you go after it. But you have to want it.
As a drowning soul desires air, as a shipwrecked person craves fresh water, so must you feel that intense, eager, insistent, demanding, ravenous desire for your success.
Your desire for success must be so strong within you that it becomes the very breath of your life. It must be your first thought when you wake up, and your last thought when you go to bed at night.
You can have anything you want if you go after it with intensity.
YOU MUST ACT ON YOUR DREAMS
You have to make your 0wn 0pportunities. Your future isn't a matter of chance, it's a matter of your choice. It's not something that you wait for, it's something that you pursue.
Don't wait for extraordinary 0pportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Opportunity sometimes comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat.
Start today, right where you are. Distant fields will always look greener. Yet, golden opportunities are all around you.
You can live your dreams if you pursue them.
