Reading: The Desire To Dream Slides

LESSON 1:  THE DESIRE AND
THE DREAM

Defining The WHY is More Important
Than the WHAT

“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.” 

– Paul J. Meyer

Breakthrough Thought:
Financial Prosperity is For You!

Financial Success is mental first, physical second.

Adopt an Abundance Mentality – There’s more than enough for Everyone!

Think and Grow Rich – We become what we think about all the time.

Prosperity can be taught. 

And prosperity can be learned. 

God wants me to prosper even as my soul prospers.

Read: The Man Who Desired Gold

“We do not wish to go on year after year living slavish lives. Working, working, working! Getting nowhere!”

“The reason most people have never found any measure of wealth is because they never sought it.”

“In those things toward which we exerted our best endeavors we succeeded.  We need to learn more that we may prosper more.  With a new understanding we shall find honorable ways to accomplish our desires.”

Bansir the Chariot Builder

 Breakthrough Thought:
To Be Financially Free, You Must Desire to be Financially Free!

You must make it your burning desire – and focus on it day and night!

A Burning Desire is the WHAT!

Without a strong desire to achieve financial prosperity, you will never achieve it.

How Do Desires Work?

“Decide that if you are to achieve what you desire, time and study will be required.  As for time, all men have it in abundance.  As for study, learning is of two kinds:  the one kind being the things we learn and know, and the other being the training that teaches us how to find out what we do not know.

Decide to find out how you might accumulate wealth, and when you find out, make this your task and do it well.

I had the desire to prosper before I found out how to make wealth.  

Preceding accomplishment must be desire.” 

– Richest Man in Babylon

Desires Must Be Definite

Your desires must be strong and definite.  For a man to wish to be rich is of little purpose.  For a man to desire five pieces of gold is a tangible desire which he can press to fulfillment.  After he has backed his desire for five pieces of gold with strength of purpose to secure it, next he can find twenty pieces and later a thousand pieces and, behold, he has become wealthy.

In learning to secure his one definite small desire, he has trained himself to secure a larger one.  This is the process by which wealth is accumulated:  first in small sums, then in larger ones as a man learns and becomes more capable.

Desires must be simple and definite.  They defeat their own purpose should they be too many, too confusing, or beyond a man's training to accomplish.

Act like a free man and succeed like one!  Decide what you desire to accomplish and then work will aid you to achieve it!” 

– Richest Man in Babylon

Desire is the starting point of all achievement – the first step toward riches.

We must have a consuming obsession in life – a burning desire!

Desire is not a hope! It is not a wish! It is a keen, pulsating desire, which transcends everything else. It is definite. 

The Formula For Achieving Any Desire

Any DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent in 6 definite, practical steps.

A Burning Desire is the Seed of All Achievement

The accumulation of money cannot be left to chance, good fortune, and luck.

Realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes, first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired money. 

A Burning Desire is Not a Mere Wish

There is a difference between Wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it.  No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it.  The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. 

Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.

What Do You Desire?

“Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” - Psalms 37:4

You should have the desire to create wealth for a noble purpose and believe that you can.“ – Peter J. Daniels

What is This Dream That You Have?

You’d lay under the starry heavens of a hot summer’s night and you would contrast that picture of what you are against what you would like to become. 

Now Its Time to Define the WHAT

What is your Dream?

Stop working?

Be your own boss?

Pay off your debts?

Fancy cars and homes?

Travel to exotic destinations?

Why do you want to achieve this Dream?

You were born for something bigger!

What Do You Dream About?

“Nothing is impossible to him who believes!” - Jesus

“Never discard a good idea, because your ideas are the beginnings of dreams for you to personally achieve”. – Peter J. Daniels

“I have a dream…”  - Martin Luther King Jr

“Failure will never overtake you if your desire to succeed is strong enough!”  

- Og Mandino

Dreams Really Do Come True!

Henry Ford dreamed of a horseless carriage

Thomas Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity

Lincoln dreamed of freedom, put his dream into action, and translated his dream into reality.

The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that would fly through the air.

Anything is Possible if You Can Believe!

Turn On Your Dream Machine Again!

A burning desire to be, and to do is the starting point from which the dreamer must take off. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or a lack of ambition. – Napoleon Hill

“What is this dream that you have?” Can you see it in your imagination? Believe in it once again… because it can become reality.  Every great accomplishment in life starts with a dream. Turn on your dream machine again!

Dream Bigger and Bigger!

Turn the energy of your dreams into motivation.

Look at dreams with a particular goal in mind:  becoming an effective and prolific giver.

Turn your dream machine back on.  See possibilities and potentialities the average person never sees.  Relate the normally unrelated.  Think outside the box.  Dreams make this type of creative thinking possible.

Attempt Something So Great!

Turn your dream into a plan.  Making that transition isn't easy.  It demands two things.  One, suspending the critical faculty that says to each dream "That's impossible ― forget it!"  And two, taking dreams seriously enough to write them down.

 Define a dream a desired return.  Write it down, define it, sharpen it, and translate it into specific actions.  You have to know what your dreams are, and how they connect to your "real" life.  How much of your daily life do your dreams really cover?

Attempt something so great for God its doomed to failure unless God be in it.” – John Edmund Haggai

Conclusion:  Dare to Dream!!!
