AMBITION: The Path to the Success

Ambition is what keeps you going. Even when you seem to fail, you get up, dust yourself off and attempt once more to achieve. Though your goal may change, your aspiration will enable you to tackle any obstacles that may be in your way.

At this point in time, I aspire to become a forensic psychologist. My ambition motivates me to work hard and achieve the necessary results needed to reach my goal. However, if you had asked me ten years ago what I aspired to be, I probably would have said a ballerina or a vet.

As you grow older, people influence you, your knowledge expands and new opportunities arise. These factors tend to cause a change of heart. We all have a long list of things we currently want or previously wanted to accomplish. This list is forever changing and expanding but the desire to achieve remains constant. This desire is ambition.

No ambition can be accomplished without hard work, perseverance and determination. As Bill Bradley, ex basketball player and politician said, “Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.” This statement will always be relevant and applies to everyone. Success is not a straight path, it has twists and turns and challenges all the way along, but once you reach the end of that path, the result will be most rewarding and 100% worth it.
