It's much appreciated. I completely agree with you too. The desire from the heart is much stronger since there is passion and emotion tied with it. It motivates and keeps individuals on track. We use our mind to make decisions and these decisions are based on what we feel in the heart. Jonny,

I really enjoyed reading you article and am also impressed but the design of your blog. The desire needs to come from the heart. It needs to be a heart want and not just a head want. Your head may want to lose 2 stone but it will not get you up every morning for that run and keep you committed to walking past that ice cream store. A heart desire to look good and live longer and in better health however will. My two cents. Great blog, keep up the good work. Hi Faizal.

I had a personal trainer to help me lose weight about 3 years ago and the one thing that kept me going with all the hard work and sweat was the reward I got to have once a week - my Cotton Candy Blizzard. :) In the past, I’ve set up goals with the top 4 ‘rules’ – without any reward, and most of those goals weren’t accomplished.

And you have o mix those two things. Desire and plan. But the plan comes from desire. If you want to get it done, then you'll make a plan and succeed at it. But if you just make a plan but have no desire, then success will be hard to come by. That's my opinion. It's a mix of the two things. Great article Faizal, I like the reward section.

Great article Faizal, I like the reward section. People tend to forget that All work no play no fun.

Jack :

Having a plan is a key to successful goal setting to. Without a plan, you won’t succeed unless you’re lucky of course!

Rob :

Its all about desire. If I want to do something I get it done. I don’t make excuses. Its just that simple. If your desire isn’t strong enough then your not going to want to do it as bad. Be “hungry”.
