From my journal:
“A burning desire doesn’t mean flexing your muscles,
stiffening your spine and trying to physically force your
goal upon the world. A burning desire is a lot like the
story of the burning bush. The bush is on fire but the
fire does not consume the bush. And so it is with YOU.
You have a desire that burns of its own accord, without
effort or struggle because you pictured what you wanted
with so much enthusiasm that the desire has taken on
a life of its own. You wanted it. Now it wants you.”
Matthew Furey
