"How to Really Know What You Want - And Get It!" by Charles Burke
How to Really Know What You Want - And Get It
This particular struggle is so common that Mark Twain once wrote he could tell anyone exactly how to get whatever they wanted. “But,” he continued, I can’t find anyone who can tell me what they want.” If this describes your case, then you’re looking in the wrong place for your answer. It’s not a matter of discovering what you want. You already have hundreds of things you want, but you can’t admit it to yourself. The real question you’re seeking an answer for is “What can you HAVE?”. (The answer to that is “anything,” but you may not be able to allow yourself to accept that yet.) For the next couple of months stop trying to hit a home run with your manifestation work. Instead, go for the little hits. Things like:
Get some practice with the little things, and the big things will begin seeming less impossible and out of reach. Start working to learn this skill the same way you’d learn to type or drive or skate. First the little, basic stuff, and then gradually expand your mastery to include the big, life-shaking things. That’s the executive summary. What follows is the detailed report.
The Secret Keys to Empowering Your Confidence
Confidence leaves a lot of evidence. In fact, when you meet someone, you know almost immediately if they have confidence. Also if they don’t. What do people see when they meet you? Do they see confidence in you? If you’re like most folks, you’ll admit to a slight shortfall in that department. When you compare the things you feel confident doing versus the things you’re not confident about, does the no-confidence vote usually win? If it does, don’t feel too bad. You have a lot of company. However, there are some things you can do to change your CQ (confidence quotient). But it’s usually a waste of time to ask a naturally confident person how to become more like them. Many of the things they do are so automatic, so natural and ingrained that they’re not even aware of doing them. You know the type of person I’m talking about. They exude an aura that breathes “I can do that… and I can probably do anything else, too” and they consistently perform as expected. Time after time, in project after project, they deliver the goods. Yes, confidence leaves a lot of evidence in the world around us; but a lack of confidence leaves nothing. Nothing but a brief ripple in the sands of time; and that’s quickly gone. All the billions of people who never learn the secrets of powerful confidence will leave no mark on the world. No legacy. No improvements to pass on to their children - nothing for anybody to remember them by. Forty years after their passing, virtually no one will know they ever even existed. But those with confidence… they’re a different matter. They build the railroads, the schools of thought, the legends. Some things last a LONG time, when started properly. The major universities of the world measure their lives in centuries. The Mitsui Corporation, a trading company here in Japan is 400 years old, and still going strong. Very strong. And look at the oldest banks of Europe. Some of those are also hundreds of years old. How long will the world mark the names of Rockefeller and Rothschild? How long will the name of P.T. Barnum mean outrageous and dazzling promotional daring? And how long will the world admire the astounding achievements of (___your name here___) in the field of (___your dream here___)? Whoops, did that last one fall a bit flat compared with those before it? Did it leave you with an odd, misplaced sensation? Well, never mind. We can fix that. Confidence is a skill… one that you can learn. That’s the good news. The “bad” news is, it won’t blossom forth in a single day. It’ll take some time, some effort, and some new knowledge, but you CAN have it. On the other hand, once you have your confidence, there’s nearly nothing you won’t be able to do in this world, if you so choose. So let me present my case. All I ask is that you reserve your judgment till I’m through. Then if you decide the price is too high, you can turn away in the secure knowledge that your small ripple will leave no permanent mark. So wait a bit. Listen to the few (and surprisingly simple) skills you’ll need. Then you decide.
UNDERLYING EVERYTHING - A CLEAR VISION
Every person of achievement knows what they’re going after. It’s fixed clearly in their mind what they want. They have a vision. They KNOW. But if you’ve never quite known what you want, that’s typical. So don’t fret, because this too can be remedied. If you don’t have a proper Want List, then we’ll start with your “I Wish” list. That’s the little, luke-warm list of things that you could never actually HAVE, but that it’s fun to day-dream about. Even though most people can’t do a robust “I Want” they CAN do a fair job of wishing. Hey, we can only start from where we are. The main reason people don’t know what they want is a lack of belief. They dismiss candidate wants before they even have a chance to examine them properly. “Oh, I’m just a nobody - how could I have that? No one on earth would take me seriously - how could they? I don’t even take myself seriously.” Or maybe they’ve been taught to think, “It’s wrong to want things. I shouldn’t have desires. It means I’m selfish and bad. And I can’t have those things, anyway.” These are all just “want filters” put in place by well-meaning adults who don’t want you to be disappointed and crushed by impossible dreams. However, if you ever gain the simple belief that you could indeed have even the topmost items on your “I wish” list, you’ll find yourself wanting clearly, specifically and powerfully. It’s only natural. You’ll begin thinking “Why didn’t I believe in myself sooner? Of course I can have that. And I’m seriously dissatisfied without it.” Your “I Wish” list will gradually become a strong, healthy Want list. So how do you begin believing instead of wishing? Ever see anybody start the engine in an old Model T Ford? They’d stand in front of the car and turn a crank till the engine caught. and started running on its own. Then they’d hurry around and hop in the car, ready to drive off down the street. The belief that powers confidence is similar. Most confidence is like those old cars - there’s no automatic starter. You’re going to have to hand-crank it till it catches and starts running on its own. That’s primitive, you say? There ought to be an easier way? Unfortunately, trying to ride “there ought to be” won’t take us very far. So we can learn to master the hand crank, or we can give up. You already know most of what you’ll need to do. You’ve studied affirmations or self-hypnosis or meditation. You’ve studied many different techniques for implanting strong thoughts within your own mind. But maybe those techniques never worked very well for you. If not, let’s examine how to take the techniques you already know and turn them into power packed vision starters.
THE DRIVING FORCE - FLAMING DESIRE
We will - if you’ll go along with me - build for you an inner belief and a desire so intense that you can’t possibly wake up tomorrow and say, “Now, what was my goal again?” Instead, you’ll spring out of bed ready and eager to move forward toward that goal. Impatient with idle time. Friends say that Elvis Presley had such an intense hunger for fame, recognition and approval that he thought of little else. That intensity within him imprinted its energy upon everything he did, and even now, decades after his death, his music still captures fans all around the world, and the estate of this man, fifty years gone, earns more each year than the living Elvis did. Now, whether you think his desire was good or bad, and his goals appropriate or misguided, you must admit that his achievements were unparalleled in the music industry at that time. Through everything he did, night or day, onstage or off, thoughts of his dream were always simmering and bubbling and boiling in the background. He was definitely not “just a good ol’ country boy who stumbled into some good luck.” Good luck alone does not last for 50 years. That kind of staying power is the result of something far stronger than happenstance or random chance. No, he had a flaming desire to achieve. He had a high vision, a goal that touched and colored and empowered every single thing he did. He wanted to be the greatest. The King. Not all dreams and desires are that flamboyant. Nor do they have to be. They only need to be right for you. When they are, your motor will be constantly running, taking you forward toward your objective, your desire. Here’s how to start. Stop doing your affirmations or other routines during your regular time. How long is the time slot you’ve set aside for your inner work? Fifteen minutes? Half an hour? If you don’t have a regular time, that’s ideal. You’ll see why in a moment. But if you have a routine, break it. If you’ve been doing your affirmations at a set time, and they’ve been producing no results, you have established a mental association. At some level, doing your inner work at that time equals ineffectiveness. Break that connection immediately. Keep doing the same things, but do them at a different time of day. And add one more thing to your routine. Put some real effort into building up the intensity of your work. Let’s say you’re imagining speaking before an audience. The teachers always say you should imagine the scene from your own personal vantage point - never see it like you’re watching from outside yourself on a screen or on a stage. Well, that’s good, but after you’ve done anything the same for a while, it can become perfunctory. You slide through it in a rote manner without any real intensity. So tomorrow, as you imagine facing your listeners, put yourself out in the audience, in the mind of one of your attendees and experience how they’ve been transfixed and transformed by your performance. Feel what you’ve made them feel. Feel the changes you’ve brought forth in them. The next day, imagine you’re reading fan mail. Go through ten or twelve testimonials, pretending that you’re reading them word-for-word. Imagine they’re messages from people whose life you’ve changed utterly. Get into the real feeling of it. On another day, imagine that you’re back on that stage, and this time, you’ve departed from your prepared script, and you’re just talking with the audience, sharing your own story, telling how you rose from obscurity and fear to the pinnacle of achievement. Make it as heartfelt and joyous as you can. In other words, stop the dry routine. Every day take a different view of your dream. Try to see it from a thousand different angles. But always make every variation meaningful - look for the emotional impact. This is what builds desire - endless fascination with the subject. Fortunately, you can create this from even the simplest “I Wish” list.
THE NUMBER ONE TOOL - PERSISTENCE
Possibly the most important tool for a confident person is persistence. How does a confident person gain the assurance that “I can do it”? Part of it is experience. If you’ve done something before, you can be pretty sure you can repeat your success. But what about before you have experience? Henry Kaiser had never built a dam, but that didn’t stop him bidding on and winning the contract to build Hoover Dam. And he had never built ships, but during World War Two he created a shipbuilding system that, at its peak, was turning out one complete battleship a day. Do you think Kaiser sat around playing cards for hours? Or reading the latest novels? Nope, he spent his time working on his dreams. He persisted. So if you have a dream, spend the major part of your time with it, not with your TV, or your favorite writer (no, not even me). Spend your time like you’re in love with your dream. When you’re not scheduled to do your inner work, have your dream running in the back of your mind. Never let it fade away to nothing. Keep it alive and simmering lightly all day long. That’s how you bring a dream to the point of a burning passion. You give it your attention. Steadily. Continually. You don’t let it starve to death. You feed it and you cherish it, at least a little bit, all day long. You persist. Soon it WILL catch and begin running on its own. That’s when you’ll know you’re on your way.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT - SELF DISCIPLINE Now we come to the dirty word of self-development. Nobody likes to hear it; still less do we like to do it. But until we have the ability to hold ourselves to the task we have chosen, we’ll never be ABLE to persist. Persistence and self discipline - they’re twins. Two sides of the same coin. And our society is set up to train this out of us. We have instant dinners, speed dialing, quick-this and fast-that. Waiting has become a personal tragedy. I’ve even seen a couple of self-help gurus suggesting to their students that they try to begin getting all green traffic lights or always find parking spots nearest the mall entrance. We want everything automatic and done for us out of sight, where it won’t inconvenience us. We tend to want our success that way, too. Who wants to do all these old-fashioned, boring things like self discipline? Many people - maybe most people - will think: “I’m looking for a teacher who can tell me how to do this in five effortless minutes a day, without missing my favorite TV shows, or having to learn any new skills - I want success, I don’t want bother.” If that’s what you’ve been looking for (even if it was at an unconscious level), that will have to change. If it doesn’t change, you’ll be just another vanishing ripple across the sands. So this is the bad news: it’s not instant, and it’s not automatic. But there IS a bit of good news (if you’re still with me). Self discipline becomes nearly automatic once the flame of your desire is burning brightly. If your passionate desire is to write a powerful play, and that flame is bright, which will you choose to do, spend a couple of hours writing, or take that time off for chatting with friends? Or say you have a powerful hunger to be a championship golfer. Will you spend your weekends on the links, or re-reading a mystery novel? So when you’ve got the flame burning properly, self discipline almost takes care of itself. Of course, there are still days when you have to push yourself a bit. That’s when you’ll need the real thing - actual, honest-to-goodness discipline. But if the need to push yourself starts coming more and more often, it’s a sign that you need to go back and nurture the flame under your desire. So that’s it. These few skills are all you’ll need to build the confidence to literally change the world. Now it’s your turn. What will you decide? Will you turn away, content to leave just a passing ripple? Or will you take hold and build your own timeless structure, your own personal equivalent of the pyramids, towering high above the endlessly shifting sands below?
Cheers from sunny Japan, Charles Charles Burke says that "luck" doesn't work the way you've always been told. Not even close. Read "The Synchronicity Report" (RIGHT CLICK FOR free PDF download.)
But What's the Quickest, Surest Way to Learn It?
The Synchronicity Report Everyone has heard of Synchronicity. But most people think it's just a ten-dollar word for "luck."
The truth is, it's not. The word "luck" describes a kind of blind randomness that you just can't depend on. Sooner or later, luck always lets you down. Synchronicity, on the other hand, is utterly dependable (if you know what you're doing).
But more importantly, Synchronicity is always found hanging around people with a strong success mindset, people who always seem to land on their feet.
That's the basic concept. Of course there's more - tons more.
Download the report and read it. I think you'll see what I mean.
