Oh, how I wish I could just snap my fingers and I would have that which I seek. It’s interesting that all of us from the time we were kids learned that nothing worth having comes to us without a major battle, or effort, or sacrifice. We are cut from the same piece of cloth —- all of us! We are human by origin and nature. We have been blessed to have the privilege of setting goals and then working our asses off to get there. “WORK FOR IT!” is a credo that has to be honored and adhered to. In our world there are no short cuts. So, we “WORK FOR IT.”
I recall the moment I committed to do my first bodybuilding show. Terrified and totally ignorant of the cost and the work it would entail. So, I took off thinking I would win and then move on to “WORLD DOMINATION.” Boy! That was short lived. However, I found out that if I pushed hard and never gave up I would be respectable. Thus, the night was rich with excitement and a personal sense of “a job well done.” All of us muscle heads can relate to this.
By contrast, for the sake of comparison and clarity, we all know people who, “talk a good game, but deliver nothing after the talking is done.” I’m hoping and praying that nobody I am associated with is this guy. I like guys who tell me they are going to bury me and then they go about the business of trying to bury me on stage. I welcome the good hearted competition and the fun. In Proverbs 27:17 it says, “As iron sharpeneth iron, so one man sharpeneth another.” Please understand: no one is alone. In order to make yourself better, there is a mutual benefit making others better through mentorship, follower-ship, and leading. As we “WORK FOR IT” we cause others to be better. We cause others to be inspired by our “WORKING FOR IT” and we lift other guys/girls out of the humdrum life of making a living, raising a family, and the daily grind of living.
Bottom Line: “WORK OR IT” and we will win ourselves and many others will be taught to win by simply “WORKING FOR IT.” Such is the cycle of life. 2 Tim 2:2 – 3 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. [3] Thou therefore endure hardness—-“WORK FOR IT!”
