Desire

“Desire is the strong wish, longing or craving to do or have something truly important to you. 

It is something that originates deep within your core; the very center of your being. In some cases, it might be so intense, it becomes a welcome distraction. A sense to the extent that it can even be felt in a physical sense. 

We all know how important goals are. But if there is no hunger or urgency attached to accomplishing them, then they are nothing more than items on some generic bucket-list. An array of things merely meant to be crossed off.  

But what it really comes down to is the depth, width and breadth of your desire. Your passion. Your will to work. Sacrifice. Persevere.  Achieve.  And ultimately succeed. You need to have desire in such an abundance that the gain becomes worth overcoming all of the pain. 

If you choose, you can always pay lip service to your goals. You can elect to go through the motions just to check things off your list, so you can say that you did it or something. 

But if you have a burning desire, something that you are willing to sacrifice for and has become a part of you, then you have a desire that has captured your heart. You nor your spirit will not rest until it becomes yours. 

So take it off that  list.  

And make it your own. “
