SOMETHING YOU WORK FOR
Written by Ed Hirsch
Your success in any endeavor will be the direct result of the personal giving of yourself. As an example ... the word Sacrifice is defined by Webster as 1: an act of offering to deity something precious; esp : the killing of a victim on an altar 2: something offered in sacrifice and 3 a: destruction or surrender of something for the sake of something else b : something given up or lost the sacrifices made by parents>.
The blood, sweat and tears ... or the labor of your hands (of your being) is what brings the fruit of all personal effort.
Like the Refiner (who melts metal with fire), the success seeker must learn to separate the impurities from the precious metal. My analogy lends to an awareness that only through our personal toil, or struggles, do we even learn the truth behind whatever it is we seek. That's right, simply put, our trial and error along with the appropriate amount of time for the learning curve to *kick in* and you Get It!
Once you have set your goals of higher purpose, only then, is when you provide meaningful, significant and well-thought out brain energy, time, money and effort. When you invest yourself in yourself, transformation will occur. All the cells in your body rearrange themselves around this (maybe ;-). I cannot imagine this to produce a negative result, only positive!
A personal commitment to yourself, with regards to how badly you must achieve your aspirations, is required from you. From this, your life will be guided in an improved direction. Only God knows ... you may even achieve a dream or two.
And THAT would be Something To Work For! nnn
