Chapter 2 Desire.
Hill writes “Desire is the starting point of all achievement” and “Wishing will not bring riches.
The fact that Desire is the key to accessing our creative imagination and subconscious mind
means we can use auto-suggestion through affirmations to change our lives.
But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways
and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize
failure, will bring riches”.
We all go through humps and have our bad days. The world can be a cruel place at times due to
things out of our control. We need to feed our minds with positive material and associate with
positive people who will support us.
Do we look at successful people and say “They were so lucky, Or do we recognize that success
takes work?
You may as well know, right here, that you can never have riches in great quantities, UNLESS
you can work yourself into a white heat of DESIRE for money, and actually BELIEVE you will
possess it.
You may as well know, also that every great leader, from the dawn of civilization down to the
present, was a dreamer.
Tolerance, and an open mind are practical necessities of the dreamer of today. Those who are
afraid of new ideas are doomed before they start. Never has there been a time more favorable to
pioneers than the present.
I’ve heard many people say that they Desire a change in their life, but most are closed minded and
won’t study any type of personal development.
True, there is no wild and woolly beast to be conquered, as in the days of the Covered Wagon;
but there is a vast business, financial, and industrial world to be remolded and redirected along
new and better lines.
Desire is wanting something so badly, You are willing to work for it…
This formula works every time in every area of Your Life and Business.. mrd

Desire!
From The Book, Think And Grow Rich!
By Napoleon Hill,
The Greatest Forces Are Intangible!
Beethoven was deaf, Milton was blind, but their names
will last as long as time endures, because they dreamed
and translated their dreams into organized thought.
A Burning, Desire to be, and to do is the starting point
from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not
born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.
(Napoleon Hill)
A believe a Desire can start off as a thought. The
difference, it keeps growing and growing, until it
becomes a Desire.
A few years ago I had thoughts of changing my thinking,
I had no idea how to do that, some of the chatter that was
in my mind was telling me I think you were born like this.
I had read the book Think And Grow Rich a few years back
I did not understand it. I also had thoughts telling me to
get that book read it again and study it. I did not know
how I was going to learn from this book without any
help. A few weeks later after checking the book Think
And Grow Rich from the library, I came across this Master
Mind. I realize it was my Desire that brought me here, and
it is my Desire that keeps me coming back. I now have a
mindset that looks for what will work not what want work.
History teaches us about people who did not quit.
If you think you can, you can!
If you think you can’t, you can’t!
You are both right! (Henry Ford)
Let’s all think about what we can do!
And the how will show up!
In 2003 I stared with my desire to improve my health. Over the years its been a journey getting health improved to where it is now. Along with a number of lessons, learning how much exercise I am needing regularly and what to eat that’s healthy. For years it was overcoming the old programing to learn better habits.
I needed to find the physiotherapist who worked best with. The means that worked for me. T that has been a huge desire personally. One of my biggest desires was getting married, ehuch happened 10 years ago on 22 November 2014

“A set definite objective must be established if we are to
accomplish anything in a big way. ” John McDonald
A definite objective or desire does not always have to be in
a big way but we still have to be definite about the decisions
or objectives we make.
I have been dealing with electricians and plumbers and looking
at showers, sinks, taps, kitchen cupboards, etc. Some are big
things and some are small things. But all the decisions I
will make about them will be there for years to come. If I
choose the wrong items I may hate them for years.
When I moved into this house the kitchen sink was not a double
sink and I had never previously had a sink that was not a double.
I have since found out that I do not like a single sink. It may not
be a big thing to some but I found out it is a huge thing for me.
So some of the decisions I am making about the renovations in my
home will be with me for years. Some are big decisions, some are small.
I need to make the right decisions that will work for me.
To be successful in any area of our life, we need to know what
we desire.
CHAPTER 2
DESIRE
THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENT
The First Step toward Riches
Depending on where you are on your life’s journey, the references in this chapter illustrate the importance of maintaining a positive mental outlook on life at all times…
Whilst having a clear objective covering short, medium and longterm time-frames is essential, I personally prefer to think of the ultimate goal as being wealth rather than money…
Wealth encompasses so much more than a monetary equivalent and I am committed to obtaining the maximum return from the investments which I have made in assets which will help me to achieve my objectives…
The parallels between the 1930s and the 2020s is significant in that the Great Chicago fire of 1871 was the catalyst for the re-building of that city in much the same way that the Stockmarket crash of 1972 contributed to the re-building of the world’s financial systems…
I believe that history will show that the 2020s decade will be pivotal to the future prosperity of those who embrace the lessons taught in this book by Napoleon Hill…
