Secrets of the Obsessed: How Inspiring People Live the Lives We Crave

"What a different story people would have to tell if only they would adopt a definite purpose, and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!" - Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich The passion doesn't end after you've arrived. You don't stop doing what it took to get there. For the obsessed, in our most desperate times, we pray earnestly until what we need comes to pass. We meditate on the truth - that we have purpose, that we are loved, that God is a protector, that love is powerful - until what we need comes to pass. We take action like beasts - until what we need comes to pass. And we are masters of gratitude - until what we need comes to pass. See the pattern? The disconnect for so many of us is that none of this is ever supposed to stop. This all-consuming battle never ends. We should always be ready to fight. Our darkest times strengthen us so that we can be even more effective during times of bliss. In our times of bliss, we make a greater impact when we are solid in prayer, meditation, action, and gratitude, rather than slackers in those areas. The key is to be consistent. In love, in prayer, in honing the craft, in taking care of ourselves, in keeping our word. When purpose driven by a God-given all-consuming obsession, it cannot be stopped.
