On fire to win the prize

Do not be shy of the contest, if you truly love the prize. Let knowledge of the reward set the mind on fire to accomplish the work. What we desire, and wish for, and seek, will be hereafter; but what we are ordered to do, for the sake of that which will be hereafter, must be now.

St. Augustine, Sermon

I like that idea of being ablaze working for a goal. It happens to me now and again, but probably not as often as it should when I am seeking the kingdom of God.
