A story about being flat on your back.

Here I am, flat on my back, staring upward. What do I see? A long, steep, slippery slope. The angle is so steep it is almost straight up. My eyes seem to be the only thing on my body that works. Even though I can see up the slope, I cannot reach out for anything.

I am holding on with both hands and if I let go to reach up I take the chance of losing grip and sliding farther down, possibly past the point of no return. I hang there with one positive thought on my mind.

 If you want something badly enough, you are sure to get it.

If you are willing to pay the price, your circumstances will change.

 Your reality will form around your commitment to succeed.

Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.

 Obstacles don’t matter very much.

Pain or other circumstances can be there.

But if you want to do something bad enough, you’ll find a way to get it done.

The key to your success is desire.

You have to love a thing greatly to get it.

One of the many lessons taught to me by someone quite a long time ago.
