I:Intensity

Intensity signifies the degree and strength of thoughts or efforts in the journey towards success. In a race, everyone starts from the same position and at the same time but it is intensity which determines the winner. However this intensity should not be a short term bout. One has to keep it up consistently. Lot of times people lose out when they start losing the intensity in process. Therefore this is one quality that needs to go hand in hand with endurance.

Intensity of purpose is a distinguishing feature that differentiates winners with others. It ensures honesty and consistency of efforts, and gives the much needed boost whenever hurdles come up. Intent in thoughts adds passion in actions, thus resulting in better outcome. It ensures that one goes in the right direction and does not divert. Emotional intensity ensures optimism and fighting spirit.
Intensity of efforts is a corollary of intensity of purpose. The intensity of desire and purpose ultimately determines the power with which the efforts are made. Any process is made up of several steps. One needs to be intense and honest about the efforts at all these steps. Intensity adds zing to basic and simple efforts, and amplifies the outcome.
In the journey towards success, intensity is the X-factor one needs. Sustained intensity in right direction is a necessary ingredient for success. Intensity boosts immensity of success. It breeds passion. And this passion, when added even to ordinary situation yields extraordinary results.
