How bad do you want it?

“How bad do you want it?! How bad do you need it?!” I heard this being said as commentary on a recent exciting sporting event. It followed the display of an exceptional act by an athlete that signaled they were in it to win it.

Everything was on the line and everything available was being used to accomplish the goal of victory. They just wouldn’t go away. Every time it seemed like losing was inevitable they made a play that said “don’t count me out yet”.

Many times we say that we really want something in life. Everything from that special relationship with someone, good health, positive cash flow, higher education, inspired ministries and everlasting salvation are desires we hold. But the question is “How bad do you want it?”

A Million Dollar Idea

I don’t often come up with million dollar ideas, but this is one for sure. I guarantee that the inventor who provides a solution to this problem will be wealthy beyond measure.

What makes this such a sure winner is that the market is huge! It extends beyond ethnic groups and genders. It would be in high demand by young people as well as middle aged and senior citizens.

The financially well-off certainly need it, and those with financial challenges would snap it up as well.

Peddle or Push

Remember learning to ride a bike? Most of us learned by that time tried process called trial and error. The process usually went like this: 

1) Climb onto the bike while someone holds it still. 

2) Get your feet set on the pedals. 

3) Start peddling when your supporter launches you forward. 

4) Repeat after falling until that magical moment happens.
