For anyone who wishes to succeed in life, either personally or professionally, the three words in today's title are absolute essentials 'Desire---Discipline---Dedication'. So, let's take each word, examine it in detail and discuss its relevance and importance as it relates to being successful.
The first word is 'Desire'. Now, if we log onto dictionary.com and look up the word 'Desire' it defines it as follows "To wish or long for; crave; want". So, we can see quite clearly, that in order to get to first base, so to speak, it's most important for a person to really long for overall success in their life. A person needs to want to succeed in a most determined way so that they will daily do what needs to be done to make their abstract dreams concrete reality in their life. So, 'Desire' is an absolute Must for anyone who wishes to excel, in either their personal or professional life.
The second in our trio of important words today is 'Discipline'. Once again, if we log onto dictionary.com and look up the meaning of the word 'Discipline' it states as follows "Training to act in accordance with rules". You see, having the desire to succeed and thus establishing our goals and objectives, will not really get us very far in life without having the Discipline to ensure that we do whatever is necessary in order for us to be able to, eventually achieve our goals, one by one.
I remember well interviewing my good friend The Governor General of The Bahamas His Excellency Sir Arthur Foulkes for my 'Success Files' series some years ago. I asked him how important he thought Discipline was. He replied "Without Discipline no one can make it".....oh how true that is!
So we get to the third important word in today's title 'Dedication'. The World English Dictionary defines 'Dedication' as "The act of dedicating or the state of being dedicated". Dictionary.com defines the word 'Dedicated' as "Wholly committed to something". Now I'm sure, that just about everyone in my reading audience fully understands, that if one wishes to be successful at anything, they simply MUST be wholly committed to the achievement of the task at hand, no matter what it is.
So, there you have it My Friend, a short recipe for success at all that you undertake in life each and every day and it's all summed up in these three words 'Desire -- Discipline & Dedication'.
