HERE ARE 5 REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO BE AMBITIOUS IN LIFE

1. AMBITION PROVIDES CLARITY.

Does this choice move me closer to my goal? If
not, why am I doing it? If our actions are not
inspired by some purpose than the choices we
make can get muddled in a hurry. Yet when we
define a goal, desire to achieve it, and act upon
those desires, these choices are easy.
What is desirable yet unreachable to the
unmotivated is merely a destination to the
ambitious. With real ambition our biggest goals
become targets instead of mere hopes and
dreams which is a far more enjoyable way to
traverse through life.

2. LIFE IS MORE EXCITING WITH AMBITION.

We should always be striving for something.
Once we stop , our lives lack meaning. A life not
chasing a dream is like a bucket of fireworks
never set off. All the potential, excitement, fun;
all of it wasted.

A young man without ambition is an old man
waiting to be.” ~ Steven Brust

Imagine placing a tiny bet on a horse with the
chance to win big. Even if we lose its still far
more exciting to be at the race with something
at stake, especially when we share that
enthusiasm with others. If we don’t put
something down we’re simply watching everyone
else’s excitement. What kind of life is that?
At worst we have a fun story about failing and
we are never left wondering what might have
been. Few people reach the end of their life
regretting the things they tried. Being ambitious
is almost entirely all upside.

3 – SATISFACTION.

One of the most gratifying elements in life is to
set upon a worthy and difficult goal and reach it
after a long struggle. It was famed football
coach Vince Lombardi who years ago told his
players:
I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the
greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the
moment when has has worked his heart out in a
good cause and lies exhausted on the field of
battle – victorious.”
There is no success without ambition. And even
if there was, what a pity it would be to stumble
into success with ease. We’d have none of the
satisfaction nor pride in having overcome a
challenge. We can choose to avoid difficult goals
in our life, but if so, we must accept that we’ll
never share in the pleasure of victory.

4 – TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH A WORTHWHILE
OBJECTIVE IS CHARACTER BUILDING.

Strength comes from facing difficulties and
successfully enduring. This is how we build
muscles, how we develop courage, and how life
itself evolves. These traits are not available to
those who stay idle.
We must accept that we need to be weak before
we become strong. It is part of the process.
Every great feat began with meager steps often
clouded with hardship. Growth comes from
refusing to let adversity control our destiny, and
there is no better way of realizing this than by
striving to accomplish a worthwhile objective.

5 – CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVE.

Consider the words that define someone who
lacks ambition: dull, lazy, conformist, dependent,
boring, lethargic. None of these should sound
remotely appealing. They should make us
uneasy.
Genuine happiness is not going to be found by
being dormant.
