The Only Way to Get What You Want - Uju Onyechere Shelley Mann was a polio victim, but that did not stop her desire to be a world champion. At the age of five, she started swimming to regain strength. It was because of her desire to succeed that she went on to become a world record holder at three events and won the gold at the 1956 Olympics at Melbourne. Desire is what made a paralytic Wilma Rudolph the fastest woman on the track at the 1960 Olympics winning three gold medals. In his book The Path of Least Resistance, Robert Fritz highlighted how we get what we desire. When we have a desire for something, and what we have at present is different from the fulfillment of that desire, there is a natural tension that develops. This tension is subject to the natural law that tension seeks resolution. Picture a stretched rubber band. The tension in that rubber band acts almost as if it wants to relax, to resolve the tension and go back to its resting state. And so it is when we desire something we do not have. There is a tension, stretched between our current condition and the desired condition that seeks to be resolved. The bigger the desire, the greater the tension. The only way to get what you want is to act on your desire. To desire anything without backing it up with action, will amount to daydreaming. Remember, to know what you want is to know what you will get; therefore, be certain of your desires. You will succeed. Shalom! Your Life Coach. @UjuBOnyechere BB: 224AEA77 Now that you know...
