I pose this question to you now….are you hungry?  And no, I don’t mean are you hungry to eat…but are you hungry for your dreams?  Are you hungry enough to sacrifice for that investment?  Are you hungry to create your own business and push until it thrives?  Are you hungry for that promotion or job?  How hungry are you?

Based on your response, I can tell you how hungry you are…or even how hungry you are not.  Why?  Because I personally have gone through my seasons where I am so hungry where it hurts, and where I say I am hungry, but go watch a tv show rather than work on my business.  I’ll go out with friends before I do homework.  I’ll eat some more ice cream instead of going on that run.  Or my biggest one…hitting that snooze button 15,000 times and turning over rather than getting up and getting a start on my day.

If you want to reach any goal, small or big, there has to be some kind of hunger or serious decision or commitment to the end goal that you will do anything to get there.  You will talk to any stranger, lose sleep, sacrifice time watching tv…you fill in the blank…to accomplish the goal or get to that next level.

I wish I could tell you that I have conquered this, but this is still a journey for me.  I get frustrated with myself…fall down, and then get back up again to try again to find that hunger.  Many times, I have found myself so upset or so tired of being tired where that is when I have my breakthrough.  With each breakthrough, there is a new level that you reach and need to push through to get to the next level.

I am personally learning to appreciate the journey and to keep pushing forward and learning that finding this hunger is a process and have committed to myself that no matter what, I will not give up on myself.  I am worth it to keep trying even when I fall down…I am worth it.

You are worth it!  What wins have you seen in your life that you may have not seen if you gave up on yourself?  I would love to hear about them and encourage you in your journey!
