[Pink sings](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivPEKaBHjYA)—

*Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame*

*Where there is a flame, someone’s bound to get burned*

*But just because it burns, doesn’t mean you’re gonna die*

*You gotta get up and try, and try, and try*

## She Might Be Singing About A Man

But we all know she’s talking about something more.

We all have dreams.

Things we burn for.

It’s better to have loved and lost, they say.

But the fear of loss can be so scary that we never try.

## Are You Just Getting By, By, By?

*Ever worry that it might be ruined*

*And does it make you wanna cry*

*When you’re out there doing what you’re doing*

*Are you just getting by*

*Tell me are you just getting by, by, by…*

*You gotta get up and try, and try, and try*

## Keep Trying

Deep inside we burn for what we truly want.

Often its hard to know what this is.

Many people gave up on their dreams.

But as Steve Jobs said, you gotta get up and try—

*Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking.*

Lord knows this isn’t easy.

Persisting through uncertainty. Fear of disappointment. Failure…

## Breeds Success

As Jordan put it—

*I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.*

No matter what you want.

*You gotta get up and try, and try, and try.*
