My friend Les Brown started his speech on being hungry for a dream by saying. “I’d like to talk with you this evening about being hungry.

Somebody say ‘I’m hungry.’”

So I want to ask, are you Hungry really Hungry or just craving change?

Are you hungry for a dream you have denied yourself even to pursue? Are you hungry enough to let yourself feel the pain of rejection or failure when someone or something shanghai your dream? Are you willing to nourish yourself with positive affirmations and indeed feed your soul?

Are you hungry for what you want to achieve in your life? Over the past ten years that I have spent in the personal development industry, I have seen countless people saying that they wanted to be successful, but they are not doing anything about it.

They are not hungry ENOUGH for what they want.

How can you tell if you’re hungry for what you desire?

Are you willing to do whatever it takes to achieve what you want?

Or do you prefer to do what is convenient than what is necessary?

You see, successful people are always hungry for what they want to accomplish.

They are willing to skip meals and to sleep less to do what is necessary.

Are you willing to do that?

Can you sacrifice for the things that you want?

When it comes to leisure and working on your dream, which one would you choose?

Hungry people are those that will always think about what they want. They think about their dreams, and they talk about their goals all the time.

They focus on taking action, and they are always on the move.

They take action whenever possible, and they learn the ropes.

On the other hand, people who are not hungry are those that will ALSO think about the success they want. But that’s about it. That’s what they will do. They think about it and never do anything about it.

Unsuccessful people say that they want to build a successful business and make their lives better, but once they got back to their comfort home, they prefer to sit in front of their TV and check their phones or play games.

Unsuccessful people are NOT hungry for what they want.

They have the ideas of achieving success, but they never take it seriously.

NEVER let this be you. I

f you want to be successful, you must always be HUNGRY!

Be hungry for what you want in life and be hungry to do whatever it takes to achieve it.

Remember, you have to be hungry for what you want. It is just like breathing. If you fall into the water and you don’t know how to swim, what will you do?

Do you struggle and try your best to stay afloat?

That’s the hunger to live.

You have to have the same level of hunger for success and your dreams. Treat your dreams and your goals the same as the air that you breathe, and I’m sure you will do whatever it takes to accomplish them.

Steve Jobs said:

“Stay hungry, stay foolish.”
