Ambition Courage and success- three steps of happiness

 

These days, “ambition” is a dirty word. People who are “ambitious” are viewed as either selfish or unrealistic, but a person without “ambition” is just like a hen without egg.

Ambition and courage are synonymous and admirable qualities. The ambitious, ‘Those who have the courage to work hard and sacrifice other areas of their lives in the pursuit of a goal’, are admired. But is hard work, making a lot of money, and sacrificing other areas of your life really the sum of ambition? Or is ambition something more, and of far greater importance?

Ambition is the most primal and sacred fundament of our being. To feel ambition and to act upon it is to embrace the unique calling of our souls. Not to act upon that ambition is to turn our backs on ourselves and on the reason for our existence.

Ambition isn’t merely working long hours, conquering tribulation, and seeing a journey to its end, although that’s a reality that many ambitious people face. Ambition is “the reason for our existence“,. It’s our soul telling us where meaning in life is found. It’s a large part of what gives our life purpose.

Where most fail to heed their soul’s ambitious call is in a lack of courage, and eventually a lack of persistence.

Success can mean many things. For us, a large part of success is accomplishing our audacious goals and dreams. Success can be happiness, a good family life, and a life full of purpose and meaning. But few could argue that true success is found in a life lived, not dreamed. One dominated by action, not the desire to act. A life filled with fears faced, limits pushed, and relationships cultivated. A successful life is one filled with experience and action, not wishes.

For the ambitious, success — or at least a large part of it — exists in following our dreams and seeing them to fruition. But to see our dreams realized we have to give something in return.

Many people think that to be successful, they should forego relationships and   put their work first and live a completely unbalanced life, while few opine that care of relationship and work, both should be taken simultaneously. For some of us, however, our ambitions may lead us to a solitary existence, and a solo pursuit of greatness.

Success demands different things from each experience. But it does require one thing from all of us: effort, both in quality and quantity.

 

To have that burning desire, even if we don’t know where to focus it, is a gift. It’s beautiful. It’s your ability to hear what your soul truly wants. Have the courage to be who you are and pursue it with passion. Be different. Be bold. Embrace your ambition.
