"When you become aware of the root of achievement,
every door you wish to go through will open.
It truly is the key to success." 

- Jack Zufelt

CORE DESIRES
Are Where It's At!​

CORE DESIRES create emotions that originate from your heart. ​These are the emotions of intrinsic motivation, the power within.This is your heart -set, or, what your heart is set on having, being, seeing, feeling, achieving, and experiencing. Your heart-set is a much more accurate guide and source of success than your mind-set... so follow your heart.

Turn On Your Heart-Light.

Your Core Desire is the switch to your latent talents, gifts, and abilities being unleashed.  Once you have a genuine, clear, and accurately defined Core Desire, you will expend all the necessary effort, for as long as it takes, to overcome any obstacle in your way in order to achieve it.

When your Core Desire is driving you, things may stand in your way, but nothing will stop you.


​
A GAME OF QUESTIONS

Ask Yourself THIS KEY QUESTION To Get To Your Core Desire:
==> What would I like to have that I don't have now?  <==


​If you want to get more clarity and determine if what you're asking about leads to a core desire, continue clarifying your question:

1.) What would I love to do if I had no obligations? If only I had more time?
2.) ​What makes me happy? What makes me laugh?
3.) What tugs at my heart or stirs my emotions? What am I pining away for?
4.) What would I love to do to help othersS?
5.) ​What characteristic would I like o have or strengthen?
6.) What do I want with or from my spouse and children?
7.) What do I want with or from others?
8.) What do my best friend and I do for fun?
9.) What did I used to do that I just can't do now?
10.) If I didn't have to worry about money, what would I do?


You could also try asking this question: 
==> If I had that, was that, or could do that, what would it give me and how would it make me feel?
