“Whatever the mind of man can Conceive and Believe it can Achieve.” [Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich] For me I attribute this accomplishment in my life to Almighty God who tells me I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13) and I have to say that I believe this with all my heart.

Have you ever craved anything? A crave is a long way from a wish or a hope. When I crave something I will do almost whatever is necessary to get it and that is the way I look at desire. If I desire to be wealthy, no matter if it is physical, material and especially spiritual, there is nothing that can stand in my way of acquiring those needs.

One thing for sure is that all of us are going to perish from this life sooner or later but my desire is to get all that I can out of this life before my number expires. I will be a winner before I perish from this lifetime but it will only come about by my desire to get while the getting is good. How about you? Yes, we only have one shot at this life and the Lord knows how many mistakes and wrong turns I have already made, but that doesn’t mean that my path cannot be straight from now on. How crooked has your path been? Do you want yours straightened out?

I do desire riches but not for myself. I like nice things just like most folks but I want riches so I can help others. I desire this because there are so many who strive to do good in this life but fail miserably. These are the ones I want to help and I want to be able to do it monetarily if possible. My desire is so strong that I will not give up until the task at hand becomes a reality for me. Do you have a strong desire to help others? There is nothing more rewarding than to be able to help those that are in need. If by chance I lose this desire, I might as well dig a hole, crawl in it and die because I will be no good to myself and certainly no good to anyone else. It is a MUST for me to keep this desire burning within my very being. There is too much at risk and at stake not to!

I do believe that I will receive this blessing from God but it will be in His timing not mine. When it happens I will gladly accept this gift and do with it what God leads me to do. This will not happen if I lose the desire, so my focus must remain in tact and I must never lose my purpose for being here in the first place: to serve my Maker and my fellow man. It truly doesn’t get any better than this!

What is your purpose? What is your desire? Is it selfless or selfish? Only you know the answer to those question.
