Do You Want It?

In his last year of high school, my oldest son insisted that he'd have a job - he needed to find his own way as any young man does.  He found work easily enough but did not have transportation.  Rather than give up or complain, he stood tall, swallowed pride and rode my bright purple ten-speed bike 20 minutes to work - in the winter no less!

Today's Inspiration 

Desire is shown by pursuit, fueled by ambition and born out of confidence. 

~Steven Shelley

Desire is a natural part of the human spirit.  It makes us tenacious  and drives us to excel.  It is our ambition though that sets us apart from the rest of the pack.

The more we thirst, the more we must be willing to sweat for the opportunity to drink the nectar of accomplishment.  Obstacles will inevitably spring up along the way but we must stand confident against tides of resistance.  Because our very livelihood is at stake, we must not let our ambition be drowned out by the challenges that threaten to consume us.  

If we refuse to rest and insist that we shall not stop, each of us will reach the pinnacle of our own success.  In order to get there though, we cannot become lazy until... well, ever.
