Have you ever wanted something with your whole heart?
Have you ever lived for something with your whole soul?
Have you ever focused on it with your whole mind?
Have you ever striven for something with your whole strength?
Have you ever loved God?
Many try to be ‘spiritual’ while doing as little as possible. They slack off where they can, find loopholes where they’re not, and interpret what they can’t.
What are you accomplishing?
Picture yourself on a stage: When you dance, the fatigue and the burning are like a badge of honor. When you look around you at those not dancing full-out, or those taking breaks because they’ve tired out, do you feel envious?
No!
Don’t cheat yourself – Keep your eyes on your prize. Keep panting on to The End, when you can feel that satisfaction: The dance is over.
You’ve danced your heart out. Your bruises are proof of your dedication; your sweat, of your determination; and your tears, of your desire.
All you want is one thing.
Keep your eye simple – And keep your eyes on the prize.
