Wanting something badly is not enough. One has to work for it, and work for it hard.
I've always been a pretty complacent person. I work hard but not for anything specifically. Mainly because most of the time I don't know what I want and when I do, I get too scared of failure that I don't try hard enough.
Right now, I know several things I want. However, these things are not those I can reach with an outstretched hand right away. It will take more from me. I will need the commitment and determination to finally make that decision to pursue dreams I long to come true one day. Mind you, they're nothing big but they are dreams just the same. I just came to realize that nothing I want will happen if I get contented in being a mere spectator of my own life.
I need to start saying yes to what life has to offer. I need to start saying yes to God's will.
I'm gonna learn how to fly and fly I will you'll see.
