There is one secret sauce that fuels your desire to level up in life, and it is called ambition. It gives you the oomph to pursue studying, a new career, or new skills that add meaning to your life. The standard requirement for each ambitious being is boldness and bravery, which encourages our drive towards improving certain aspects of our current life phase. However, our desired accomplishments vary because of our individuality and, in most cases, our complex circumstances. Therefore, what each of us aspires to achieve will undoubtedly differ from person to person.
At its core, ambition influences your pursuit for fulfilment. It adds value to your existence either as a provider for your family or to become a positive contributor to society at large. Hence, when you look up the word ambition, its definition points to three main words:
- desire
- achieve
- success
It is important to note that your personal goals are not always about procuring money.
Join the I Am Live team as they go through the various dynamics of ambition to illustrate its benefits, how to notice the red flags of false ambition, and what realistic bounds are within and beyond our ambitions. As part of our 3-point topic discussion, we will discuss the following:
- Those who walk the talk: These are the people who are seen as [overly] ambitious.
- Those who’ll talk but never walk: These are usually people who lack ambition but will talk the talk. In addition, they tend to be heavy critics of the doers, movers, and shakers.
- How to keep the balance between your drive to achieve success and still make time for the other priceless aspects of your life that do not necessarily contribute to your financial gains.
In addition, you will discover what ambition means to you, what it looks like for you, and how you can apply it to your life in the best possible way. For more inspiration listen to our podcasts on iono.fm.
