I left Sunday afternoon to start my travel for the week with a pretty aggressive schedule. Five different cities, five different states, three days, and a lot of things to cover.
Already tired from a pretty strenuous month of travel, it occurred to me while traveling this week: I want it very badly. I want to win very badly. I pushed myself to limits that sometimes are near exhaustion because there’s just so much in the world I want to do.
I think some people think I might be a little crazy for it, but other times they may just not even think about it at all. But when you push yourself and you want something so badly, it’s like you can feel it. Like you can taste it, like you can see it, but you don’t feel like you have it. And I think that’s why when I think about all the different things I do, all the different things I try, why I want it so badly is what drives me.
Now, the funny thing is, I don’t really know what “it” is. But what I really feel is that there is something out there, something more to accomplish. Something more I need to do. Something more I need to discover, so that I push myself to the brink of exhaustion simply because I want it so badly. It is kind of ironic that all this has happened this week as we go into Labor Day weekend – a long weekend. A time to recharge, and a time to appreciate everyone’s labor around the country.
So when you think about it over the weekend, think about your “why” and your “it.” Why do you want it so badly?
