Striving towards Excellence

I have spent lot of my undergrad years working in Physical Chemistry. One of the most talked about topic for a reaction to happen is the driving force. Driving Forces are those factors which are responsible for causing a reaction to proceed on to completion. All chemical processes need to have some reason for taking place. Those reasons are the Driving Forces. Anyways, forget about Chemistry for a second.

Even in life, you need a driving force. Our desires are the driving forces that rule every part of our lives. Whether they are good or bad desires, we tend to gravitate towards them nonetheless. So much so that it could be said that desire is the driving force that rules each and every person on the planet.

You can see the effects of desire in every action and reaction around you. A hungry man desires food. A religious person desires spiritual fulfilment. We all at some time in our lives desire to do good, which in turn will bring good back to each and every one of us. There are also people motivated by greed and selfishness who desire to do bad things. This, unfortunately, lead them further away from prosperity, sometimes without them even knowing it. The question, when it comes to desire, is this: do your desires take you closer to prosperity, or do they take you further away from it? Unless you address this question, you may never reach the level of prosperity you desire.

We cannot just ignore or dismiss our desires as they really are the motivating force behind what drives us. Try to turn off your desires..It just can't be done. Desire is the power behind all actions; it's just the way life is, like it or not!

That being the case, strongly desire all that you want. Confidently desire to be a better person, and work hard at keeping a check on your desires. Don't be wishy-washy with them, otherwise your outcomes will reflect that. Dream it, think it, and always aim for it. You must learn to want it with every part of your being; if you don't want it bad enough, you will never reach it and that would be a real shame. You need to go after all that you desire and demand it in the same way that you demand food and water each day.

Many of us have lost sight of what we really desire in life. We all need to remind ourselves of the importance of rediscovering our desires and the spark that makes life worthwhile. If we fail to do this we just settle for mediocrity and never make the most of our potential.

And we need to understand what it is that we actually desire. For instance, a lot of people's desires seem to involve around what other people have. While it is fine to look at how other people are going around you. never fall into the trap of desiring to live their life and focusing on their achievements instead of your own. If you do, your desire will soon be replaced with their desires. Too many people fall into this trap. All they end up doing is looking at the facade of other people's lives and never tapping into their own potential, which could otherwise perhaps even take them way past those around them. Now I am not for a minute trying to say that life is all about who finishes in front with the most stuff. Not at all. But what I am trying to point out is that if you just focus on your desires and don't measure yourself against someone else's achievements, you may just surprise yourself as to how far you might actually get in your own pursuits of your dreams.

So what is that you desire? Are you totally committed to addressing whatever areas need addressing to get there?
