Ambition:
Some of us have it and others of us need it. Below are some thoughts that I put together
with the studies of Jim Rohn and many other philosophies that I’ve
studied. The difference between success
and failure can be a few simple habits.
A few errors in judgments repeated everyday will get you to fail. Bad habits will show their results a long
time after they’re developed. Thoughts
on success below:
Disciplined, Eager, Desire = True ambition.
1. Success is a
minute-by-minute, day-by-day mentality.
Living a successful life isn’t easy; if it were easy most people would
have money. What’s the major difference
between people doing good or bad?
2. Dreams must
be well defined, wishes are fuzzy. Your
dreams must be vivid. Do you know exactly what you want? Write it out.
I want to see a 10-year plan. If
you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
3. Nothing is
an over night success… diligence is the mother of good luck. Tough it out with intelligence, continue to
educate yourself. Continue to get better
each day.
4. You’ll be as
happy as you allow yourself to be right now.
Don’t be depressed because you are working your way toward success. Learn to celebrate your achievements. It’s good to acknowledge your accomplishments
on your path of success.
5. Big
achievements come one small advantage at a time. Enjoy who you are becoming every day. You
will change daily during your transformation to becoming the person that you
know you can be. You have the power to
mold your life.
6. Use the
ability and power of your mind to build up your success. Success is a pleasure. You must be fulfilled with what you are doing
today. Are you happy with your life as
it is? Enjoy the process of becoming
successful. Can you write your successes
at the end of each day? Look for a pattern
of what you think is successful.
7. Try going to
bed 30 minutes sooner. Just try it for 2
weeks. You’ll get more done and you’ll
feel better, just do it. Start changing
how you think, act, and treat others, life will respond to you in the same
respect. Be kind. What small changes can I start making
today?
8. Take charge
of your personal happiness. You can’t be
successful by yourself. You have the
help of the people around you. Thank
them. Let the people around you know that you
appreciate them. We are an average of
the top 5 people that we spend the most time around.
9. Keep your
mind on your course. Remember your
path. Your goals will push you forward,
but you must remember what your ultimate desire is. People have already paved the way for us. They had nothing, and ended up with something
great. These people turned their focused
dreams to a reality of success. Seek
them out and research how they did it. Take
the time to talk with successful people.
They might have already walked down the roads that we’re trying to walk
down currently.
10. Ambition is
not being greedy. It is an eager desire
to achieve, to prosper. Desire is what
you want for yourself. Ambition is how
you get there. Ambition is an
expression. It is something inside of
you.
What are your reasons for creating the dreams that you have?
Why is it so important to achieve these dreams?
Does it make you feel good?
Is it for your family?
What has you inspired to be ambitious?
What is the power behind your ambition?
11. Self-interest
is ok; it is not selfish. You are
benefited by giving service to others. It
must be enlightened; make an investment in the service of others. Always do more than what you’re paid
for. It is an investment in your
future. You will stand out.
12. Give the gift
of attention. Life responds to give us
what we deserve, not what we need. The
ancient law works like, “if you plant, you will reap” …. In order to find
ideas, contacts, and hope, you must search. You must go to where you need to
be. It will not come to you.
13. Life is not a
passing of time. You must have the
discipline to act on your life.
Everything affects everything else.
Everything matters. Save money or
don’t save money. Exercise or no exercise? It all matters.
14. Don’t let up;
you can’t ease up. When you’re at work;
work. Vacation is for rest. Be disciplined, get your health back, get
your bank account where it’s supposed to be, get your family in order.
15. Ambition - it is an eager desire to get more
out of life.
16. Don’t blame
others for failures. It is in your best
interest to follow up on everything that affects you. You are responsible for everything that
happens or fails to happen every minute of your life.
17. Your life
will change when YOU change. Take full
responsibility for yourself; whatever your paycheck is… Is that your worth?
