The richest, strongest, and fastest people on earth have one thing in common; unwavering desire to be great. But, what exactly do I mean by this? Desire is in a way like motivation but much, much stronger!
Could someone motivated by money dead lift 1,000 lbs or work a hundred hours a week for months? The difference between someone who is motivated and someone who has a strong desire to do something is simple; the one with desire will die doing what they want while the motivated person will quit.
Without the burning desire to be great, do you think Edison would have continued making terrible inventions? No! Motivation can only go so far while desire can go the whole way!
Do you think that Van Gogh was motivated or had a burning desire to be an artist? He went as far as to not eat food for a week at a time in order to pay for more paint! Of course, he was eventually driven to insanity but that should be saved for another topic.
The burning desire to do something is what separates the boys from the men! A boy wouldn't be able to go the length required to do something great! So, in your quest to become special, you must create desire! Without this desire, you'll most likely fail at anything extremely difficult!
