How bad do you want it?

“When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, THEN you’ll be successful.”

Happy Friday – the weekend is almost here!  As you end one week and start another, I challenge you to think about what you “REALLY” want out of life.  Everyone says they want to be fit, healthy, happy, successful…but think about the SPECIFIC things you want  and HOW BAD you really want them.

As a fitness instructor, I hear people tell me over and over again, “I really want to lose weight” or “I really want to get in shape.”  They want these things for several reasons:

  • Health benefits
  • Longer life
  • More energy
  • Wear cute clothes
  • Increase self-confidence
  • Better dating life
  • and the list goes on and on…

But the question isn’t, “How bad do you want these things?”  The REAL question is, “What are you willing to SACRIFICE to get these things?”

A friend of mine sent me this video which pretty much sums up the essence of the 2nd question and the essence of GRIT.  Watch, listen closely to the man speaking in the background (especially at the end) and think about how hard you are willing to work to get what you REALLY want.  Because whatever you desire, YOU CAN HAVE IT!
