COLUMN: How bad do you thirst for it? | News Article

In so many countless years that I've been alive, I've heard so many people share their dreams and desires.


I've heard people perfectly describe who and what they want, how and when. In the midst of me hearing all of this, I was not so much concerned about who and what they wanted... but rather how bad they thirst for what they want. I wondered if they're willing to do what it takes for them to get what they desire in life. Here's something about life; wanting something doesn't matter more than your willingness to do what's necessary to get it... and you can only do what's necessary if you thirst for something bad enough that you're willing to sacrifice and give up anything and everything just for you to lay your hands on that prize.

It saddens me to see so many dreams not becoming a reality; so many relationships ending and so many married couples divorcing... all because people don't thirst bad enough to make things work out thereby ruling out the possibility of ever giving up on it. It's funny how we're willing to go to extremes just to go out and party. We buy new clothes, shoes, ladies do their nails, hair, and makeup... yet we're not willing to do a simple thing like pull a chair and study when we have to; yet we're not willing to simply call our friend or partner, sit down and solve things when there are problems; yet we're not willing to simply wake up every morning and take just one step closer to making our dreams become a reality. SHAME ON US for having misplaced priorities and not thirsting for something bad enough. Let me tell you this; until you thirst for something bad enough as if your life depended on it, you will never achieve anything nor amount to somebody in life.

Once again I ask you: HOW BAD DO YOU THIRST FOR IT?

The lack of thirst we have in life is caused by the fact that when we want things in life, we don't really want them bad enough. We just KINDA want them and that is why what we always get in return is KINDA results. Here's something about the universe's secret law of attraction; whether you will get something or not in life depends on how well you prepared for it and chase it! And how bad you thirst for something, will be evident in your pursuit of it. If you are ever going to achieve something and become that great successful wealthy man and woman of stature you want to be, you must be willing to throw everything and anything you have at that goal and dare not to quit until you become just that! The thirst you have for something should be seen in your determination and willingness. Stop KINDA thirsting for things in life and start thirsting for them bad enough.

Yesterday being THIRSTDAY, I have a question for you: HOW BAD DO YOU THIRST FOR IT?

Today being FIGHTDAY; I have another question for you: DO YOU THIRST BAD ENOUGH FOR IT THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO FIGHT FOR IT?
