I am an incredibly motivated person. When there is something I want I will do most anything to get it. Going back to school to finish my degree and land the perfect job, are things that I want so bad I can taste them.
I started school in January of 2012 and I will be graduating this summer. I had the goal to finish in a year and a half and it looks like I am going to do it, and I feel that the perfect job is not that far out of sight. Again, these are things that I have wanted so badly I could taste them.
I have wanted to participate in a triathlon, and it has never been the right time. (But really, is there ever a right time to sign up to physically punish yourself?) I went for a bike ride Saturday, and at the end of the ride I got that feeling. The feeling of wanting something so bad I can taste it. Not only do I want to compete, I want to finish feeling strong and accomplished. I am hungry enough for this that I am tolerating and even love the feel of being uncomfortable and in pain.
The discomfort and pain is not only a physical pain, but a mental discomfort that makes my nerves twitch and causes me to have goosebumps when I think about my task at hand. In the end the taste of the finish will be worth all the discomfort and pain.
Have you ever had something that you have wanted so bad you could taste it?
