Burning Desire: Golden Key or Red Herring?
Summary:
You've likely heard the story of "Acres of Diamonds." A farmer, lured by dreams of discovering diamond riches, sells his farm and ventures off, only to end in disappointment and poverty. Meanwhile, the man who purchases his farm stumbles upon actual diamonds, becoming incredibly wealthy. Does this story suggest that overwhelming desire is unnecessary, or is it simply a twist of fate by the universe? Is it possible to achieve greatness with mere mild interest or indifference?Article Body:
The classic tale of "Acres of Diamonds" tells of a farmer seduced by tales of hidden diamonds. He sells off his land, determined to find these treasures elsewhere, only to die without achieving his dreams.Ironically, the new owner of his farm discovered an unusual stone in a stream running through the property, which was later identified as a raw diamond. This stone, famously known as the Hope Diamond, was part of a stream bed full of diamonds, leading the new owner to immense wealth and happiness.
But doesn’t this story leave you questioning its lessons?
Consider the man with the burning ambition: he failed and ended his journey in disappointment far from home. Conversely, the man who simply wanted to farm ended up wealthy?"without any apparent desire for riches.
Is this an example of the universe’s quirky sense of humor? Or can we actually achieve success with a laid-back attitude and minimal ambition?
Many motivational authors, including Napoleon Hill, emphasize the necessity of a burning desire to amass wealth. I've echoed this sentiment but always stressed that such desire is more about overcoming personal doubts than influencing the universe.
Yet, haven't we all seen individuals effortlessly succeeding, like the farmer who found the diamonds? I've met people like that. When I lived in Japan and established a business channel, I could merely think about wanting more success, and opportunities would soon follow.
This wasn’t a rare occurrence?"it lasted for over 16 years. What made the difference?
Truthfully, I don't believe desire was the deciding factor. Many people move to Japan but can't figure out how to stay. Some work hard but eventually return home, unable to hold on.
Conversely, those who remain often aren’t the most dedicated or sensible. Some enjoy the culture, the social scene, or simply relish being unique, rather than possessing a fiery ambition.
Their success doesn’t seem rooted in desire. It’s more about what they believe they deserve or feel entitled to. It's governed by self-perception and the circumstances they deem suitable for themselves.
In the end, it all begins with who you perceive yourself to be.
