Where can you find the true origin of ambition? The truth is that there is only one place in which you may find it; within yourself. In every thought, with every movement, and behind every motivational act; this is where ambition is to be found.
What you may fail to realise is that your ambition is nothing but an expression of who you truly are and what your aim is in life. Ambition is your own self-expression; how you think, how you move as well as how you motivate yourself to take action on what truly matters to you.
Since you have already decided where you want to go in life (at least I hope so), you must understand that you have been subconsciously working on the elements of your personality that will only make you better prepared for your future. Working on your attitude and approach to people and events, working on your health to prepare you for all of the obstacles that will come your way, and lastly; working on your time management skills so that you do not lose focus on the important people and things in your life.
Taking the right direction will determine how effectively you end up reaching your destination. You must always ask yourself the following: Are all of my endeavours as well as my commitments taking me to where I would like to go? This is the single, most important question to ask yourself at the beginning of every day; because the manner in which you answer such a question determines how successful you will (or will not be) in achieving your goals.
Even if you do not find yourself ready to answer such a question, here are alternatives that I strongly advise you to never ignore since these questions will determine the path you end up taking. Is this the trajectory I want to take to achieve my dream life, or is this someone else’s? Has such a goal been ingrained in me since my childhood or did something trigger it?
By asking yourself these questions, you will certainly be able to assess what is working as well as what is not working in your life. Your mind is the only thing that no person may take away from you, so work with it, build it, expand and develop it. By doing so, you’re simply allowing the power of your own ambition to take you where you would like to go, to do what you want to do; as well as to create the life and meaning that is relevant to you.
