Raise Your Ambitions

Nov 14

High hopes and dreams usually contribute to a better-quality life. It seems that the problem for most people is that they set the bar too low on their lives. Very few people live with high hopes and ambitions these days. And because of that, they have little to no drive to really excel at anything important. In life you have to have drive to achieve anything worthwhile. Ambition is the fuel that you need to advance yourself in the direction of your dreams. If your ambition is low, then you will never achieve what you are fully capable of. So how does one go about raising their ambitions you might ask? Well, it’s a conscious decision to do so first and foremost. It starts with having clear purpose and intention however. If your purpose and intentions aren’t clearly defined, then it’s likely you will never find the drive and ambition to keep yourself advancing forward towards your cause. So, getting clear on what you are trying to manifest and bring forth is key here.

Another important part of raising your ambitions may require changing some of your habits. If you have a daily habit of scrolling through your phone for 1 hour, then perhaps you can start by setting aside 30 mins of that time setting a new goal and working towards it. How you use your time is a good measure of what you value and what’s important to you. Time is a precious commodity, so you have to be careful not to waste it. So here is a question for you. Are you using your time to better yourself, to increase your physical, mental and spiritual health, to advance your cause, to nurture your creativity, to strengthen your relationships? Or are you using your time to watch series after series on Netflix, or just living for the weekend? What you have on your agenda is super important. Raising your ambitions begins by taking charge of your agenda and making sure that you have some important things set aside for you to enrich your life, nurture your talents and to connect with others around you. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. How we use the hours we are given ultimately defines our life trajectories.

Another important thing you can do to help Raise Your Ambitions is to set bigger goals for yourself. Go ahead and set a goal that will stretch you to reach it. This is a huge part of raising your ambitions. If your goals are small, then your ambitions will usually be small too. If you are wanting to go climb a mountain, then you have to get yourself in motion. By taking the first steps you actually energize yourself to continue taking larger and more challenging steps. Movement creates inertia and emotion. So, start somewhere, anywhere and take some beginning steps, even if they are baby steps. Then you will find inner motivation and determination to take the next series of steps. As you take continued steps on the journey, you find more strength, energy, courage and will power to take more larger steps. Goethe once said, “The moment one fully commits oneself, then providence moves too.” You only fully commit yourself after you get moving along towards your destination with great zeal and enthusiasm. At the end of the day, you and you alone are responsible for your level of motivation and ambition. Only you can fuel the fire within to Raise Your Ambitions and keep them high. When you set high hopes and ideals, you will find yourself stretching higher to reach them.
