A poem to share for inspiration & motivation.
I had first heard this poem recited on the Christian rock station I listen to way back when I first started my new lifestyle in January 07′. I did share it way back then too but it’s lost somewhere in all of my blogs and I felt that it needed to be brought forefront again so that it can hopefully help to inspire and motivate people who’ve never seen it.
Happy hump day to all!
When you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
To work day and night for it,
To give up your peace and your sleep and your time for it;
If only the desire of it makes your aim strong enough never to tire of it;
If life seems all empty and useless without it,
And all that you dream and you scheme is about it;
If gladly you’ll sweat for it, fret for it, plan for it,
Pray with all your strength for it;
If you’ll simply go after the thing that you want with all your capacity,
Strength and sagacity; faith, hope, and confidence, stern pertinacity;
If neither poverty nor cold nor famish nor gaunt
Nor sickness or pain to body or brain can turn you away
From the aim that you want;
If dogged and grim, you besiege and beset it, you’ll get it!
