    Desire: The Starting Point of All Achievement

    play
    00:00

    Your browser does not support the audio element.

    What separates those who merely dream from those who achieve? It's not talent or connections-it's burning desire. Consider Edwin C. Barnes, who arrived at Thomas Edison's laboratory with nothing but an obsession to become Edison's business partner. He didn't just want to work for Edison; he was determined to work *with* him. When first meeting Edison, Barnes couldn't immediately become a partner, so he took a modest position instead. But unlike other employees who saw themselves working *for* Edison, Barnes knew he was working *toward* partnership. When Edison invented a new dictating machine that his salespeople dismissed as unmarketable, Barnes saw opportunity. He knew he could sell it-and did so successfully that Edison gave him the nationwide distribution contract, making Barnes wealthy and fulfilling his original desire. This illustrates a fundamental truth: when desire becomes definite, persistent, and all-consuming, it magnetizes opportunities invisible to others. Barnes didn't merely wish for success; he burned all bridges to failure. Think about your own goals-are they wishes or burning desires? Are you willing to become obsessed with their achievement? The first step toward any achievement isn't a plan or skill-it's desire so intense it becomes an obsession, filling your thoughts and driving your actions. Without this level of desire, obstacles appear insurmountable. With it, they become merely stepping stones on your journey to success. What would you pursue if failure was impossible?
