What do you want bad enough that you'd go out and fight for it?

You may have heard me talking about what it takes to go for your goals. What do you want bad enough that you would go out and fight for it? I've read my list (which is ever changing and growing) at several meetings. Would you care to share your dreams and schemes-or even just your BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal)? On September 2nd, 2008 I crossed #17 off of my list, to hold my breath for 3 minutes, I held my breath for 3 minutes and 8 seconds under water. Talk about a rush!!

What's your dream?

If You Want a Thing Bad Enough

If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it,
to work day and night for it,
to give up your time, your peace, and your sleep for it . . .

if all that you dream and scheme is about it,
and life seems useless and worthless without it . . .

if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it
and lose all your terror of the opposition for it . . .

if you simply go after that thing that you want with all of your capacity,
strength and sagacity,
faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity . . .

if neither cold, poverty, famine,
nor gout, sickness nor pain,
of body and brain,
can keep you away from the thing that you want . . .

if dogged and grim you beseech and beset it,
with the help of God, you WILL get it!
