 Let's say something here. It's not wrong to desire to be rich. It's not wrong to have enough money that you always need to meet your needs. It's not wrong to live a good life that having money provides. What may be wrong is how most people use their money. But let's never think that wishing to have money is a bad thing. You need money for the basic things of life. You found yourself in that situation where you need money urgently to meet a need. But for one reason or the other, you could not have that money that you needed. So, when I shout that it is in your best interest as a young person to learn how money works, it is because I want you to learn how to shave off years of needless struggles from your life. In today's video, I will be sharing with you three signs that show you will be wealthy. If you don't have these three things, don't worry about it. I made this video so that you will learn to imbibe these lessons and follow them for your own life. Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss other interesting videos like this. 1. You have a strong desire for wealth I know a lot of people who want to be rich but who hardly will ever be rich. The reason is simple. Observe how they live their lives. And you know such people will never taste wealth no matter how much they want it. The reason is very clear. These people lack the very strong desire to become rich. They wish to be rich but the wish has not turned into a fierce passion that drives them to begin to do all they ethically can to become rich. One of the strongest points emphasized for getting rich in Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich is that desire, strong, intense desire leads to recording ground breaking wealth. That strong desire will let you know the changes you must make to become rich. Where this desire is absent, you will do nothing that will make you rich. The strong desire to never end up broke and beggarly turned me into a reading machine when I was still in the university. I was studying a course I hated and all my life I had never taken responsibility for anything. I had always depended on people for help but as a horrible future stared at me in the face if I continued like this, I made up my mind that I would work as much as I could to prevent such a horrible future. Boy, I read like a crazy person. I read so much that sometimes I felt my head would blow out. And those years of reading paid off because I started to use lessons learned from reading those books to better my life. The desire to succeed compelled me to figure out what I must do to succeed. Strong, intense desire must be what you have if you want to be rich. If you don't have a strong desire, you will never be willing to sacrifice all you can to succeed. There will be painful sacrifices you must make on your way to making more money. Only a fierce desire will motivate you to make those sacrifices. If you lack this desire, it is a sure sight that you are not ready for wealth. How do you build this desire? Here's how I built the desire for myself. I focus on the worst things that could happen now and in the future if I don't become rich. I imagined the most horrifying yet certain conditions that will come about if I don't become rich. I pictured that horrific scenario until it bonded kinda shuddering me and forces me to tell myself I would rather die than find myself in such a mess in the future. Sometimes, you should write down at least 15 horrible things that would happen if you don't succeed. Place them where you can always see them because they will inspire you to never give up or faint in your desire. Also, to build desire, I imagined some of the most beautiful things I could do if I had enough money. The stressless life and comfort, I painted a picture of how beautiful things could be and I will never have to run around looking for help when something comes up. Having this clear picture in your mind constantly will always build a fierce desire in you. Number two, you hate complaining and making excuses. Watch most people who are repeatedly poor. They have this attitude of complaining and having excuses for not doing what they should to become rich. I know someone who wants to be rich but who never reads any book, doesn't even try to learn anything about making money and has the time to feast and talk all day. Until your desire to have money becomes fierce, most will never overcome this deadly habit of complaining and making excuses. There will always be a thousand and one reasons why something can't be done. There will always be a reason why you can't have all the money you want. It isn't making up your mind that you will have all the money you wish or to die trying that you come to a point where you overcome all excuses and all forms of complaining. Nobody is your problem. The government of my country is quite corrupt so waiting for them to help is like putting fire under your bosom. Even worse, when you keep complaining about them because no matter what you say, it doesn't change anything for you. What will change anything for you is that you go to work building your life, pursuing your own dreams with all you've got and never backing down even though things aren't going right. Never complain, never make excuses for anything. If you have this kind of attitude, it's a sure sign that you will be rich. 3. You are willing to do challenging things Here's another way you know those who will succeed and those who won't. You can tell if a person will succeed by how he handles challenges. When you're faced with challenges, do you look for a way to jump out or do you accept the challenge and work to make things happen? Personally, I had to learn to never be afraid of doing challenging things. I admit that at one time in my life, I hated challenges. When something was too tough, I would use the exits. Slowly but sure, by choosing to do little things that seemed challenging, I began to develop the courage to take on more challenging things. If you're quick to use the exits once you are faced with challenges or you are always quick to give up when you experience a single roadblock, you are not signed up to succeed. What would have happened if Thomas Edison had stopped on the 99th try? People give up so easily not knowing how close the were to success. Don't join that group. Have it clear at the back of your mind that challenges are part of life and a life that wants to be rich must be ready for anything. When you're a young person who is prepared for anything, nothing can phase you when you eventually face them. If you find that you never back down when things are challenging, that's a sure sign that you will become rich. In summary, desire, strong, intense desire is what will ever make you rich because the strong desire will lead you to know what you should do to acquire the wealth that you want. With that strong desire, you should develop a dislike for making excuses or complaining. Make up your mind that there will be no excuses, no complaining. You will do all you can with what you have and will make no excuses for anything. Finally, enjoy doing challenging things. Challenging things and situations are conditions that build strength and fortitude in you. They make you better and stronger so you are better able to face what is ahead of you.
