You Say You "Want It", But What Are You Going to "Do" About It?

As a middle school teacher and father of four, I hear all too often the phrase, "I want to...". Wether it's "be a pop star" or "get an A in a class", "be in the NBA" or "be a video game designer", it doesn't matter what you "want" to do, what matters is, are you going to do the work it takes to reach your goal(s). It is so easy to imagine the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, but to get there, there is a long, tough journey with hard work and determination as the only map to go by. Skill along with some natural ability is usually the formula for success, i.e. Michael Jordan. We can't change what we are born with or without, however, we can improve our skill through regular practice and effort. If you really want something, then make sure you are spending time to work towards your goal(s), daily!
