In The End, How Bad Do You Want It?

By Evan Sanders


It seems as time goes by I find myself finding more methods to improve at the things I have dreamed and envisioned.

There are times throughout the day where I hear the following speech "How Bad Do You Want It?" by Eric Thomas in my earphones and it brings a new energy into me. I suspect that the stuff we listen to and digest has a bigger effect on us than we know. You've got to be careful about what you bring into your life - because bad emotions and feelings can control your consciousness and take you places you do not want to go. I had to stop listening to some artists because of the things they sang about. Those things can't intended to be in my life - they stand for everything I'm working against - and yet hearing them constantly can convince you of trying something your really don't want to.

How much do you really want it kid? Oh, I I know you have to be really tough...I want it pretty damn bad.

For a long time I couldn't put the rubber to the road. My desire for my dreams was swept over by my fear of them failing. It's like a small kid playing with a new scary toy. They're so curious but they can't quite yet grab it because it's so unfamiliar to them. This trail I have taken has yielded me many of these defining moments and brought fear head on into my life. I have become frightened of more things in my life, and yet simultaneously I've found some way to turn that fear into opportunity and bring light to the situation.

In reality, we will always be alarmed of things. The difference though between those who continue to move forward and those who are controlled by fear lies in their capability to stay in wonder about the world and ideas. This, in truth, has been one of my best learning lessons during the past 5 years of my life - and I'm of the opinion that it is going to carry me forward into the future with open eyes and ears.

When you can see another life-style, a more positive way, a more happy way...don't ignore that. Understand what it is about that way of life that intrigues you and if you truly are ready, give it a go. Literally the most terrible thing that might actually happen is that you'll go back to your old way of living. Ask how much you are willing to sacrifice and then move towards it. In that moment or on the way you will find that this vision will demand more and more from you, and if you have it in you, you will truly be happy to give up more and more for it.

How much do you want it? What can you give up for it? Because you need to have it - now go out and make it.
