Nothing is achieved without ambition and perseverance. True, it's good to be ambitious for ambition is a normal expression of confidence. And, of course, when you follow the purpose or goal, in pursuing your dream and you want to see made ??and no effort, you think too much, you are willing to make the ambition a creed from which you want and you can not depart.

I think, it would take a day when we'll talk of ambitions. Lol.
Ambition is a desire for personal achievement. It provides motivation and determination necessary to achieve goals in life. I have so many things I want to achieve. So many places I'd like to go to. I admit, I am an ambitious person but I find it as a positive drive for me to get going.
One of the things I wanted is to go traveling around the world. I like to experience the different cultures in the different countries and most especially, I want to see the beauty of God's creations. One way I can obtain this is to have a large amount of money. I just don't have an idea how I could have that amount of money. Hehehe.. I hope we can all achieve what we wanted to obtain in life. :)

I am trying to launch a freelance writing career. I finished my second writing course this year. The last one was over 20 years ago. I let jobs and life stop me from seeking my true ambitions. I'm making another attempt at it. Hoping to have something that I love to do help out with bills once I retire.

Good luck. I also enjoy writing. But, professional writing is a whole different ballgame. Trying to capture the attention of an editor who is already swamped with unsolicited mnuscripts is a very difficult task. Even the most talented writes never make it. So, I wouldn't count on writing to help you with your bills.

Ambition, I don't hear that word very often, and I'm not sure I know exactly what it means. I am trying to accomplish something, but I feel lazy, at the same time. I am hoping to move across the country to be with the man I love. It's going to be this crazy, crazy story, but there's going to be one day, when we're going to sit down with our kids, and we're going to tell them about it, and while it seems impossible right now, we're going to make it happen because we love each other. Maybe it's loyalty. Maybe it's ambition.

Have you ever felt 'You Can' when the task ahead to accomplish your desire seems foggy? you feel you were born to Write yet you lack that 'thing'-confidence that you can, letting others take the initiative before following their foot steps. I think that is not cool, being ambitious means being driven by inner ability... doing something with your passionate heart and having a desire to learn more, be equipped and be an expert in whatever you do.
As for me I have 'writing thing' to work on.... So great that I have found a base to stand and my mentors here on mylot.
...a special gift is what you already have, but what you have not yet discovered...
