I have a million dollar desire. The amount of my desire is
symbolic. I choose a million dollars because that number is more
than I can imagine-an unimaginable, unreachable, uncountable
number.
What I really want is abundance-more than enough to handle the
needs in my life. I recently went through and paid for a
program, taught by a millionaire, that has come close to
convincing me that I already have abundance. Maybe it came more
than close. Maybe I do already live in abundance and all I need
to do is allow that abundance to enter my life, instead of
constantly refusing it.
That made me stop and think. How many times have I rejected my
million dollar desire? I had to borrow to go that program. I
took a step and went a level lower into credit card hell. I
couldn't afford it, and yet now, today, I realize I could not
afford NOT to have gone.
You see, I should know better. I come across this a lot in
working with young people who are trying to achieve a dream.
Stumbling blocks come up: they need to get a permit, or they
need to raise a little money, which to them seems like a million
dollars. They're afraid. Their friends tell them it's too much,
that it's not possible. And I have to remind them. You can try
and maybe succeed, or you can decide not to try, and never make
it. You have nothing to lose. The problem with a million dollar
desire, is that it's a million dollars away. You will never
reach that dream, that desire, until you bring it closer, until
you own it, inside.
Over the weekend, I was in Celebration, Florida. At 5:02pm, May
31st, 2008, I watched the space shuttle launch, a spear of smoke
with a bright spearhead of fire arching into a blue sky. It was
an auspicious beginning to another launch, the launch of my
website and weblog.
I've spent the last two or three years in unsuccessful and
half-hearted attempts to succeed and make money on the Internet.
Somehow, I think, no, I KNOW this will be different, because
I've been given perspective, tips, techniques and a new mindset.
I now know what I'm doing, and what I have been doing wrong. I
lost sight of, and maybe never knew, my million dollar desire.
It's all a matter of focus. I want to do good in this world, to
help others who have debilitating financial problems, who have
lost their faith that things will be well, who have little or no
hope left with which to face tomorrow. People who have stopped
listening to that voice inside, and who no longer know what
their million dollar desire is.
Change begins with a personal decision, and I have made a
personal decision to become a player, to take the wheel, instead
of letting myself be driven and letting myself be the victim.
The seminar I recently attended, and where I've arrived,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually, is the culmination of a
personal journey, one that began two years ago. But that's a
story for another time. What's important is not our history, but
where we are today, and all that we have to be grateful for.
So, how about you? Are you a player in your life, or
spectator? Are you happy with your job, your life, your bank
balance, or would you like more?
Are you making the same mistake that I made, thinking that A
Million Dollars is your Million Dollar Desire? Find the real
reasons you want the million dollars, and the million dollars
will follow. At least, that's what I'm out to prove.
I have discovered a method and a plan that points in a new and
healthy direction in my life--basically, I looked for and found
my million dollar desire, and now I'm pursuing it. I feel a
million years younger and a million dollars richer. Everyone
needs to find their million dollar desire, because finding it
brings that million dollars into the realm of the possible, and
suddenly, it's not a million miles away. It's just right over
the horizon, a step farther, a breath away.
Don't reject the million dollar desire. Feed it. I've been told
the root of the word desire is "From the father." So what is it
that you really want? Ask yourself, listen, and find out.
It just might be the most important thing you'll ever do for
yourself and your loved ones.
