What does it take to SUCCEED in whatever we want in life? Is it a strong DESIRE or a mere WISH?
WISH and DESIRE are two English words that are often confused. They appear to have similar meanings but strictly speaking, there is some difference between the two words.
Most of us have wishes and desires but we fail to distinguish the different between the two words and end up mixing them.
Wishing for something is not as same as desiring it, a wish is merely passive form of DESIRE, and most people never advance beyond the wishing stage.
The difference between wish and desire seems to be, that desire is directed to what is obtainable, and a wish may be directed to what is obtainable or not. websters
Dr Napoleon Hill wrote in the Law of Success:
"Desire, then is the starting point of all human achievement. It has been said, and not without reason, that one may have anything one wants, within reasonable limitations, providing one wants it badly enough!" he adds "Any one who is capable of stimulating the mind to an intense state of desire is capable also of more the average achievement in the pursuit of that desire."
Just as Oak tree...sleeps within acorn, success begins in the form of an intense DESIRE. Out of strong desires, grow the motivating forces that cause men to cherish hopes, build plans, develop courage, and stimulate their minds to a highly intensified degree of action in pursuit of some definite plan or purpose. What is it that you DESIRE in life? you must remember that WISHING for a thing is not the same as DESERING it with such intensity that out of this desire grow impelling forces of action which drive one to build plans and put those plans to work.
