OBSESSION, Why It Is Good For You And How To Use It To Your Advantage

OBSESSION, Why It Is Good For You And How To Use It To Your Advantage


  Most of us have heard the clinical expression "OCD" (Obsessive
  Compulsive Disorder) which as Wikipedia explains it: "is a
  mental disorder characterized by "intrusive thoughts" that
  produce anxiety, by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing
  anxiety, or by combinations of such thoughts (obsessions) and
  behaviors or compulsions".

  However, what if I tell you that Obsession, in and of itself,
  can actually be good to your health and wealth! Yes, it can, and
  this is why. (I'll tell you the "how" along the way)

  Do you remember having a song in your head that you just
  couldn't get rid of it, then you walk into a store, and low and
  behold, the same song is playing? - Or, how about that constant
  thought that doesn't seem to want to leave you alone, and when
  you wake up in the morning, there it is again, and you wonder,
  what the heck?

  I'm here to tell you that you're not crazy, you're just being
  brilliant and don't know it yet. You have a passion for
  something that continues to show-up as a constant melody or a
  perennial thought which your subconscious really, and I mean
  really, wants you to do something about it!

  It's one of your many passions showing up in a very determined
  way telling you, "Do something with me, I'm on fire and need to
  be self-expressed!" - And because passion with action is what
  truly monetizes what you do, who you are, who you serve, and who
  you work with, it's the reason why, obsession is a very good and
  healthy thing for you to have. Yes, your passion becomes
  obsessed with the thought of "acting upon itself", and this in
  turn, helps you capitalize on it. Beautiful, isn't it?

  The more passionate you are about something, the more likely you
  are to be obsessed about what you love to do, why you're doing
  it, and who you want to do it for and with. The results are
  always amazing. Imagine that you're passionate about fulfilling
  a dream and all of the sudden, you are so focused, you actually
  become obsessed about attain it? You will create a beautiful
  Master piece! - So you see, your "healthy" obsession, meaning,
  your passion becoming obsessed about self-expression, drives you
  to create a business and a life that is exquisitely by design
  and not by default.

  Six easy steps to "Healthy Obsession":

  . Acknowledge situations that prompt you to act upon something
  almost impulsively, and without reason. Ask yourself: Why do I
  want to do this? Allow "passion" to show its color by letting
  you see the "what" and the "why."

  . Pay attention to the ideas that seem to come out of nowhere
  and yet, you know deep down that they not only sound great to
  you but you have a strong sense that there's something awesome
  you can do with them.

  . Write them down. I know it sounds simplistic, but you want to
  make sure you capture them, don't let them get away. Anything
  that it's not on paper, have a high rate of not coming to
  fruition.

  . Get a "Passion-Obsession" calendar. Keep track of all the
  happenings that are clearly in direct connection to this
  treasure chest that you have just found. You see, it is no
  longer a map; it is now your "treasure" and you can duplicate
  and multiply this fortune many times over with the right tools
  and people by your side. Use the calendar as a guide to help you
  get things done. Schedule your passions and your obsessions to
  monetize all of your ideas. Trust me, it works like a charm.

  . Acknowledge loud and clear what your passions are telling you.
  Honor them by understanding that it is a healthy thing for them
  to want to become self-expressed, because they have their best
  interest at heart, and that is YOU!

  . Hire a coach, a mentor, a trusted-advisor to help you turn
  your many passions and obsessions into a wonderful, financially
  rewarding reality. The time to act is now. When you do, your
  money bucket will fill-up like you've never seen before and all
  your efforts will be deeply rewarded speedily, rapidly and
  immediately. Yes, we are a NOW generation!
