Goals I believe are an important part of our lives. What we want to do, how we want to live and if we want to achieve things are all in their own way goals. Even simply wanting to own a nice car is a goal. However the amount of energy, hard work or passion we aim towards these goals dictates if we will ever see them completed or if we will only want until our last days.
Many people possess ambition and passion. The only thing that stands in their way is their own resolve. To devote yourself towards a goal completely requires sacrifice that many people are unwilling to commit to. If my goal is to own a company and that is my primary goal I would need to sacrifice the time I spend with friends, family and pleasures, to hard work and intense labor. If my goal is to invent a new way for energy to be collected or a unending way to supply food I will need to sharpen my mind in the fields that these would require and sacrifice many other pleasures for this.
I believe the only limit to a persons potential is the limit they impose on themselves. If you truly want power than devote your life to it. If you truly want love than devote your life to it. If you truly want wealth than devote your life to it. I believe anyone can obtain these things. However very few are willing to sacrifice pleasures of the moment for pleasures of tomorrow.
I think I will end this blog with a quote from one of my most favorite authors.
Are you Ambitious? Every career is open to you. Overturn the world, change its character. yield it to mad ideas, be even criminal – but live. – Alexandre dumas.
