Like most normal human being, I do have a job and i make a living out of it. This year during a weekly training, I am task to identify what would be the one that will a break through in my career.
Personally, the quality or displaying of desire & intention means a lot to me. As an individual in the career of insurance agent, I display an inconsistent amount of desire & intention. The focus and drive is always fluctuating, resulting in inconsistent performance on a monthly & yearly basis.
The first step to improvement is to be aware. I am acutely aware that my desire & intention to perform is not strong. Not burning yet. Always make myself circumstances of situation. Jumping from doing the next best thing that catch my fancy and back.
Taking a step back, I reckon myself to be lack of desire or too comfortable with current environment. Last year was a year of breakthrough for me. Where I display a strong desire and intention of excelling in my career.
When the decision was made, the mind and the body just clicked and move in that direction. Like a train that just change its tracks. My desire was to achieve my goal and the intention is to meet 2 -3 person a day. There was no room for tiredness, thinking or relaxing. Every action in 1 way or another leads towards the end result – the goal.
I did notice this burning desire that has been missing in my previous year and it dawn on me is that I make a declaration and I approach my client with a desire, intention which was lacking in the past. From “Take your time, think about it and get back to me when you are ready” to “If it’s important, is it important enough to be done now?”
Intention and desire is like the fuel for my emotion and brain. Pushing me to exceed my limiting belief, to set a higher bar of standard and excellence.
Now in the month of Jan, the desire and intention has died down again. Giving way to tiredness and directionless. Once again, the conflict begin as it always does in the beginning of the year. The frog in the well waiting for things to happen.
The key to tiredness is not rest.
The key to tiredness is wholeheartedness.
This year 2011, instead of sitting on the problem and thinking it though, I desired to work while continue to find my key.
