The Relentless Pursuit of Desire

If you want something deeply enough, you must be willing to go out and fight for it, to toil endlessly day and night for it. You must be prepared to sacrifice your time, your peace, and even your sleep to pursue it. If your desire for it drives you to madness, never allowing you to tire of the effort, and makes all other things seem trivial and unimportant in comparison then you are on the right path. If life feels empty and meaningless without it, and all your thoughts and plans revolve around it, if you are willing to sweat for it, worry for it, and meticulously plan for it, even shedding your fears of both divine and human judgment for its sake, then you are committed.

If you relentlessly pursue that thing you desire with every bit of your strength, wisdom, faith, hope, and unwavering determination, if you face poverty, hunger, and hardship without backing down, if you withstand the pain of body and mind without being swayed from your goal, and if you keep pushing forward with a relentless spirit then, in the end, you will achieve it. If you are persistent and unyielding, no matter the challenges, you will conquer and claim what you desire.
