Life will pass as a blur unless there is a reason for remembering it. You must open your eyes and possess vision. The first step to setting any goal is knowing what you want to achieve. You have to know who you are, and who you want to be.
The play-write, Oscar Wilde, once said, “To live is the rarest thing in the world. [Typically] most people exist, that is all.”
How can you “live,” not only “exist?”
You will become who you continually choose to be.
The reason behind the choice is what will fuel the organism. The reason will outweigh the sacrifice. The reason takes away fear and hesitation, and provides the “why” to keep going when it’s easier to give up.
Every person that has achieved something great in this life has had a reason that became a part of them. There is no other way to fight through pain and persecution.
There will always be many reasons not to do something, you just have to find the one that makes you do it.
