Cultivating Burning Desire

When asked during an interview how he managed to reach the top as a professional bodybuilder and Hollywood actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger replied with a single word, "Drive!" All great success ultimately begins with an idea, but what makes ideas become reality is the fuel of human desire. An idea by itself can give you a temporary feeling of inspiration, but burning desire is what gets you through all the perspiration necessary to overcome the inevitable obstacles along the way.

Take a moment to think about the goals you've set for yourself. (You have set goals, haven't you? If not, go read the article on setting clear goals.) How committed are you to achieving these goals? Under what conditions would you give up? What if you could significantly increase your desire to achieve these goals? What if you wanted them so badly that you knew with absolute certainty that you would absolutely, positively never ever give up? When you are truly 100% committed to reaching your goals, you move from hoping to knowing. If you want something badly enough, then quitting is simply not an option. You either find a way or make one. You pay the price, whatever it takes.

Those with an intense, burning desire to achieve their goals are often referred to as being "driven." But is this special quality reserved only for a privileged few? Certainly not. With the right approach, anyone can cultivate a deep, burning desire within themselves and move to a state of total commitment, knowing with certainty that success is as inevitable as the sunrise.

So how do you cultivate burning desire? You begin with an outside-in approach, altering your environment in ways that will strengthen your resolve while eliminating doubt. If you take the time to do it right, you'll establish a positive feedback cycle, such that your desire will continue to increase on a daily basis.

How to Create an Abundance Mentality

Much of society seems to be built on a scarcity mentality. It's a mentality that tells people that there is a lack in life, that opportunities are few and far between. This is, of course, useful for Marketing and Advertisers because if people believe that there is a lack, then you can get them to buy stuff; thus, the economy and society can continue to thrive and prosper by reinforcing a scarcity mentality in people.

The scarcity mentality can be quite painful for the individual and create a lot of unnecessary fear,anxiety and desperation. An abundance mentality, on the other hand, tells you that there are always new chances and opportunities. This relieves much of the pressure you may feel if you have a scarcity mentality that makes you think that you've only got one shot right now. Or it makes you feel like an utter failure just because you stumbled and things didn’t work out. An abundance mentality can help you improve your performance since with it, you’re creating a lot less pressure and anxieties within your own mind.

The Power of Abundance

"Prosperity Abundance Consciousness" is about "money", as money is a tool to bring about much good in the world; yet Prosperity Abundance Consciousness is much more. It is about God's Abundance, an extravagant abundance ("My Cup Runneth Over"), a Limitless Abundance, an abundance of - love, joy, happiness, beauty, purpose, peace, faith and understanding.

Yes, our cup could be filled and running over if we would accept our own God-given Divinity. Not Divinity as a "God", but "of" God, the Essence which brings into our lives all that God has created for us.

God IS: Spirit, Infinite Intelligence, Divine Love, Lord, Allah, Yahweh, Total Peace - IT is the same. Timeless, changeless, everywhere present, miraculously powerful to heal and to renew life, to bring joy and courage, peace and wisdom, laughter and spontaneity.

Prosperity Abundance Consciousness is about being the best that we can be and giving the best we can, experiencing all that God has to offer us, reaching for, achieving and giving of our God-given talents, being True to our Essence and knowing we are truly blessed - and then being thankful.

One with God, we are Co-Creators with God in Spirit and Mind; we are of God-Consciousness. God is all there is. God is Everywhere and Every thing. God surrounds us, is in us, and all that is required of us is to open ourselves to God's presence, our Essence! And so it is! Namaste'.

Namaste', an ancient Hindu bow of sacred greeting made by placing the palms together, thumbs against the chest and nodding the head slightly. Namaste' acknowledges that the "God (or Christ) in me honors the God (or Christ) in you." Namaste'

It . . .

has been said that a prosperous person is one who is at ease, in harmony with her world, whole and free to do what she wants when she wants to do it. Prosperity is more than a material experience, it is having close, trusting relationships. It is having friends in your life with whom you enjoy sharing your experiences. It means having a successful family life and living in harmony with those people whom you love and who love you. Prosperity means having a healthy body, strong and full of energy, and vibrant peace of mind that allows you to sleep well at night. (Paraphrased from Stuart Grayson & Mark Victor Hansen)

Prosperity and abundance are produced by first recognizing that they are "thought." Thought produces fact. A "thought" of poverty can produce the fact of poverty. A "thought" of abundance can create abundance and prosperity. A thought of despair and loss, can create them. As we sow, so shall we reap. As we so think, so shall we reap.

"You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair." - - - Ernest Holmes, Living the Science of Mind

Emerson writes: "Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind."

It is important to recall that it is not really for lack of abundance that you are experiencing want, but for lack of awareness of the ever-present reality of divine substance and the faith to shape it into manifest form. - - - Eric Butterworth.
