Burning Desire

I am now on the last chapter of the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. I learned a lot about the impact of thoughts on the things we do everyday and on the wealth we desire to accumulate. 

Napoleon Hill emphasizes that the very first step of building riches is desire. "Thoughts are things, and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches, or other material objects", said Napoleon Hill. 

Had you ever stopped in your day-to-day living and ponder on the things you do everyday-- if they are still in alignment to your inner purpose or if they have added value to you? Napoleon Hill described it holistically that thoughts are things when we have a burning desire to realize them. 

So many people today (me not an exception of course) dream of things that will make them happy-- wealth, fame, title, happiness, peace of mind or whatever it is that they desire, but only few were able to realize them. I wondered why only few are blessed with the things that most people want. Hopefully Napoleon Hill's classic book "Think and Grow Rich" will help most people achieve what they want in life by developing the habit of burning desire. 

I agree that unwavering faith and persistence are key ingredients in achieving our life goals. But eventually you should have definiteness of purpose as Hill emphasizes. 

It is quite logical since doing things persistently that do not really add value to you or are not in line with your true purpose here on earth will only waste your time and energy and eventually lead to failure and frustration.
