Need vs Desire by Bob Proctor

I came across some notes on Need Vs. Desire. There is a difference, a big difference. Many people desire success, few need it, but those who do need it almost always enjoy it.

Needs are what you must have to survive. You need food, air to breathe, clothing, shelter, sleep, etc. What you need to survive you get at any cost. When you convince yourself you need success, just as you need to eat when you are hungry, it comes without you even having to think about it.

What is your definition of success?

Attaining a certain income level.
Learning a skill.
Enjoying a certain lifestyle.
Achieving a certain position in the company.

We all have different mental pictures of success, but few people ever totally achieve it. Why? Our mental picture of our-self is not what it must be. Some wonder if this mental picture can be changed and the answer is an emphatic yes!

To create a need you must first set a goal. When the goal is placed before you, you employ self-motivational techniques. You make that goal a need. It becomes a driving force. You convince yourself that the goal must be reached in order for you to survive. When you develop that state of mind, you will most definitely succeed.

If you were lost in a desert without water and saw a water hole some distance away, although you knew a hard, painful effort was needed to reach it, the decision would be automatic. No degree of difficulty would stop you. However, if you had lots of water and thought a fresh drink would be nice, the degree of difficulty might well put you off.

Yes, there is a great difference between desire and need.
