How Badly Do You Want It?

“If you want something badly enough, the whole world conspires in helping you achieve it”
Don’t act like you’ve never heard that line before. I’ve been spewing that shit for years, and I’m not stopping anytime soon. But how badly do you want it? Do you really want it? ‘Cause if you really wanted it, you’d have it — the same way you’ve gotten everything else you’ve “really wanted.”
Because yes, you have wanted other things really fucking badly and asked the whole world to hold hands and conspire in your favour. Hands were held, clammy palms and all, and you received. As a disclaimer, this is a notice of entitlement — this is beyond the necessities, which are sometimes not in our control. This is about what you WANT, not what you NEED.
If you want it, you gotta live it, breathe it and eat it. What was on your plate today? What did you digest? Are you too embarrassed to admit that you spent the day in bed, reading? Guess what I was reading about — I read about it, I read about what I wanted to eat instead of just eating it.
“But there wasn’t any of it in the fridge, wahhh”, I respond. So go out and buy it. Walk the distance, even if it’s a little cold out. You know what I’m saying, right?
Now look at this classic example of bad habit. I’m not eating it. I’m writing about my hunger for it. And I still haven’t eaten it. Tomorrow’s a new day, but today I will chastise myself so that I wake up with my stomach growling in hunger. Now I shall do the things I do to facilitate what I want to do more of but which I don’t in fact do enough of.
