​E5 What is Desire?
The Starting Point of All Achievement! – Napoleon Hill

1. A Burning Desire is a Consuming obsession of your Life!

People have many needs and wants, and many times, they just don’t get most of them. Why? People are busy working for the physiological needs to survive, and they are mostly struggling to get access to these needs. And then, people have many wants, needs that are not instrumental to survival, but people want in order to feel happy, elated, different, bossy, etc etc. In order to get access to your wants, most of the time you need money for that, thus in most cases where people don’t have the money, they don’t get these wants.

So, what is DESIRE then?

Desire is that WANT that you have that you are READY to do anything to acquire, It is not a wish, not a hope, it is a burning, dominating pulsating want! It is something that you ‘see’ all the time, something you wake up with, you go through the day with, you go to bed with….

1. What you need to know

First, have a vivid, burning desire to accomplish a clear cut, definite purpose. In addition, you must couple that desire with total determination to achieve it. Finally, only then do you have the fuel required to drive you to take the required action.

Know what you want. Have a plan to get it. Be open minded. Have the flexibility to modify your plan or adopt a new one if the old plan isn’t working. Believe in and have faith that Infinite intelligence will assist you. Ask for guidance. Continue to do so until such time as you find a plan that does work!

1. What you need to do

Definiteness of purpose
The benefit of having a definite purpose is the automatic development of a number of traits that are of vital importance in developing the mental aptitude for success. They include:

• self-reliance
• imagination
• enthusiasm
• self-discipline
• concentration of effort

Exercise – Create a visual image of what your life will be like when you are in possession of what you desire. Design and make a “vision board” with pictures of the things you will have when you are living the life of your dreams. Place your vision board where you will see it most frequently.

I can help you to put your desire to work. IF you are willing to join my coaching, whether group coaching or one on one coaching, please e-mail me at ravinpapiahleadership@gmail.com, or watsapp me on +23052507999

E6 Depth of Desire?

The Size of your Success depends on the Depth of Your Desire - Anonymous

What is Depth?
Purpose, personal mission statements, core values, our “why” – what ties all these things together? Depth. We use these things to help us go deeper in the areas of our lives that matter most.

So what is “depth”? How do we define it, and most importantly, how can we create more of it? What does it mean to go deep in an area of your life – and what are some of the things that prevent us from experiencing it?

Just imagine what life would look like if you go deep in the areas that were most important to you?  To do this, you need to define what depth meant to you. Let’s look at the DEPTH model on the D.E.P.T.H. model. Here are the five areas that impact how deep we go in any area of our lives: Desire, Energy, Purpose, Targeting, and Habits. Let’s dig in a little deeper… 

Desire 
The single most important driver in creating depth is desire – it’s the spark that ignites everything else. Atomic Habits author James Clear captures it this way, “Desire is the engine that drives behavior. Every action is taken because of the anticipation that precedes it. It is the craving that leads to the response.” 

Getting clear on what we want requires answering some basic questions… If you were to envision living life on your terms, what would that look like? Even more important, what would it feel like? What kind of lifestyle are you trying to create for yourself and your family? What are your goals and aspirations in life? 

Energy
With a clear understanding of what you want and the life you’re trying to create, your energy is the next place to focus your attention. You need to choose where you’ll be investing your time and what activities will turn your wants into realities. Keep this in mind – energy is a finite resource. We only have so much of it, so spending it wisely is critical. 

Ask yourself… What actions are you willing to take to get what you desire? What activities will you invest energy into? Where should you be spending your time? What should you be doing, and where should you be applying force to create movement? 

Our desires have no value unless we are willing to put energy and effort into working toward those wants. Without that, they’re just wishes. Answering these questions will help you lock in on where you should spend your energy.

Purpose
Want to 10X your efforts? When we align our desires and energy with our purpose, it catapults our results. Purpose is the multiplier that increases your impact and allows you to go deeper more quickly. It’s also the element we need in order to get through the challenges of creating depth – those moments when we encounter barriers or pressure. When we’re passionate about what we’re working on, it impacts our willingness to fight for what we want, be stubborn, and persevere. 

Ask yourself these questions… What gets you out of bed in the morning? What are your core values – the things that are non-negotiable in your life? If you have a personal mission statement, what have you identified as your motivations? What drives your decision-making, and how do you want to be remembered when you’re gone? When you attach the answers to these questions to your desires and energy, you’ve created a strong foundation for depth in your life.

Targeting
With your desires, energy, and purpose aligned, here’s the part I have struggled with the most… targeting. As I shared in the beginning, I wanted to be great at everything, and I spread myself too thin. I was unfocused – not laser-focused. It wasn’t until I started targeting the most important things (not everything) that I started experiencing changes in my life. 

I shared earlier that I used to say “yes” to everything. Eventually, I came to this reality. Everything I say “yes” to requires saying “no” to something else. As I shared above, we all have limited time, energy, and resources. With that in mind, making sure we’re saying “yes” and committing to the right things is critical. Remember, just because something is good and noble doesn’t mean we should be targeting it in our lives.

Let me use this example to draw a picture. In the city where I live, thousands of nonprofits and charities make a positive imprint on our community. For me, I know that I can invest a tiny bit in every one of those organizations, and I’ll create a minimal impact. The alternative is to choose the ones that align with my purpose the most. Then, I can donate time and resources to those and go deeper with them in their mission.

Our lives are no different. Getting focused and going deep requires making some tough choices. Look back at your desires, energy, and purpose. As you’ve been answering those questions, there are likely some themes that have shown up more than once. Family, friends, faith, community, and my business all rise to the top when I answer these questions. You may say, “That’s still quite a bit to focus on.” You’re right, but using this list gives me a tool for choosing if a “yes” fits my life or not, and it allows me to be smart with my decision-making. 

Habit
We’ve reached the “H” in DEPTH… Habit. In the areas that matter most to us, the ones where we want to go deeper, we need to create habits and patterns to ensure we maintain focus. By creating small rituals and practices in our lives that are repeatable and focused on the areas we unlocked above, we ensure that we will go deeper in those parts of our lives.

Consistency in our actions is the final key to going deep in anything, and creating these habits is essential. The things we do repeatedly are the best signals of what really matters to us. As they say, actions speak louder than words. 

Ask yourself this… What small habits can I start today to help me go deeper in the areas that matter most? What could I include in my day or week, that if I continued repeating it through an entire year, would change my life?

The Takeaway
​Depth can be challenging to define and even more challenging to create in our lives. I get it, because I am trying to create more of it every day, and some days I get off track. Focus back on the D.E.P.T.H. model… What do I Desire? Where will I invest my Energy? What’s my Purpose? What areas should I be Targeting? What Habits should I be creating? The answers to those questions will help you go deeper in whatever areas you choose… Now, it's your game!

E7 Understanding Desire

Desire knows no boundary. It is simply the very nature of the Universe itself. Desire is the very root of the Universe. Darcy Lyon



Galen Guengerich Ph.D., in his article ‘The Four Stages of Desire: From Everything to One Thing’ in Psychology today wrote about why we should stop wanting everything and focus on what matters most.

As a culture, we’ve had ambivalent feelings about feelings of desire from the very beginning. The Christian tradition generally takes a dim view of desire, mainly because it tends to focus on the ephemeral satisfactions of this world—variously termed the lust of the flesh or the pride of the eye—rather than the eternal rewards of the next world. Western philosophers, on the other hand, have generally viewed desire as fundamental to human life. To be human is to desire what we do not have.

Desire motivates us in many important ways: physical desire, for example, is called hunger or thirst; intellectual desire is called curiosity; sexual desire is called lust; economic desire is called consumer demand. Remove these expressions of desire, and human life as we know it would cease to exist. Our culture in general and our economy in particular are built on our desire for things and experiences we do not have.

The 15th-century Indian mystic Kabir, a poet and philosopher, who today is revered by both Hindus and Muslims, argued that desire constitutes the true wealth of humanity. One of the leading 20th-century interpreters of Kabir was a spiritual teacher named Eknath Easwaran, who once explained in a videotaped lesson that Kabir views desire as having four stages.

The vast majority of people, Kabir says, are born with countless desires—too many desires to pursue any one of them with conviction or dedication. Most concern the superficial aspects of life, such as personal appearance or personal possessions. People who have many desires are the poorest of people, Kabir says, and they seldom achieve any success in any field. Their lives are also the saddest, because they are the most superficial, dominated by too many desires that matter too little.

There are other people, Kabir goes on to say, who are born with some desires, and these are usually people who lead what are considered successful lives. No matter what field of endeavor they choose, they manage to accomplish at least modest goals, because they are able to focus on only some desires.

A fortunate few individuals, however, have only a few desires. Out of these come the geniuses: great scientists like Madame Curie and Albert Einstein, great musicians and poets, great humanitarians and political leaders. These individuals have very few desires, and thus they will make their mark in whatever fields they commit themselves to.

Finally, a few rare individuals have only one desire. These are the great mystics—spiritual leaders who often practice meditation, which is a demanding discipline designed to reduce one's number of desires. Over time, says Kabir, meditation can reduce a person’s desires from countless to many; then from many to some; from some to a few; and from a few to only one. As the number of desires becomes fewer, the desires themselves become less superficial and more profound.
​
Kabir also describes a pattern of emotional development that corresponds with the decrease in the number of desires. People who have many desires, he says, often have volatile emotional lives. Their emotions go up; they come down. They get upset easily; they calm down quickly. None of these emotional conditions lasts very long, however; one of the great advantages of being superficial is that you are never upset for very long because the things that upset you aren’t important. But neither are your satisfactions important or enduring. Nothing lasts long, because nothing matters much.

E8 – Fanning the Flames of Desire

Fan the flames of Desire to glow as bright as the sun – Mahima Pareek

Wishing will not bring you riches, But DESIRING riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

In the book ‘Think & Grow Rich’, Napoleon Hill gives us 6 steps using which your DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent:
​

1. FIRST – Fix in your mind the EXACT amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say, ”I want plenty of money.” Be DEFINITE as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness of purpose)
2. SECOND – Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire (There is no such reality as “something for nothing”)
3. THIRD – Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire
4. FOURTH – Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once whether you are ready or not , to put this plan into action 
5. FIFTH – Write out a clear, concise statement for the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it
6. SIXTH – Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ – SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY!

Ravin Souvendra Papiah started his life by being doomed by doctors of an early childhood death. Being born as a very weak child played into his favour whereby he was introduced to reading by a teacher while his friends were enjoying their recreational time outside the class, playing. He has defied the doctors and today, he stands as a father, reader, trainer, coach, public speaker, writer, radio host and Influencer. 
​
He discovered that his purpose is to help others grow to their optimum self. Being an avid fan of personal growth and reading, he believes that it can transform a person and consequently, his life, thus he encourages others to do the same. He insists that every person has the potential to become whom they want to become.
