Living and Breathing Your Desire to Fly • General knowledge: Getting your pilot license General knowledge • Living and Breathing Your Desire to Fly
If you want to be a pilot, the first question you must answer is whether it is worth devoting the rest of your life to aviation. If you can't imagine doing anything else, if you love flight so much that you would happily do it for free, then I should say go for it. You will find other pilots who feel that way.
The first time I flew with one of them was in a little Cessna two-seater up at Columbia County Airport. It was just me and the pilot, flying over the Hudson River valley toward West Point, with New York City to our left ...
My eyes are still on the prize. I'm still working, still striving to be the best pilot I can be.
I'm still flying with the same passion and commitment I felt when I first set my sights on becoming a pilot.
I'm not surprised when friends ask me what my goal in life is and I say it's to be the best pilot I can be. It's just who I am, what I do. It's my nature.
When you're committed to your desires, they become part of who you are, part of your identity. You don't just want something; you are something. You take pride in your achievements and you work hard to make sure each day brings progress toward your goals. And along the way, you discover more about yourself than you ever knew before.
Desire is the fuel of your dreams. It's what keeps you going when everyone else tells you that you're crazy.
