What is Desire?

So, it is Sunday and you have promised yourself (again) to get in the gym Monday and start fresh.  Wishing to lose the "weekends good times".  I hope that telling your inner self will be enough but both you and I know that it will not be.  You need desire.  Desire to better yourself.  The desire to set the alarm 2 hours earlier than normal so that you can get in a 3 mile run before work.  You need desire to fight the afternoon traffic after a long day at the office to get to the gym instead of the couch.  Why start tomorrow?  Start tonight!  Simply start by skipping the bowl of Sunday night ice cream and substitute it with a good nights rest.  Start now.  Reach down within yourself and find the desire.  The desire to better yourself!

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.
