So you’re ambitious ……… is there ever a time when you’re satisfied??

What is it with ambition? Is it something like being bit by a vampire?

Once bitten, life can never be the same.

I used to be human but now I’m a vampire.

or I used to be comfortable and happy with life but now I’m ambitious.

 

Vision …… yeh I can see . . So what?

Everybody’s doin a brand new dance now.

C’mon baby do the Vision motion (apologies to Little Eva)

It seems wherever you look – ya gotta have a vision.

Well if Vision is a seeing thing (and it is) what is it that I gotta see?

How far am I supposed to look?

What do I do once I’ve looked out to sea (Apologies – couldn’t resist the pun)

Now that I can see what I want for dinner, now what?

Do I need to look out as far as my death?

The next 30 years? 20? 10? 7-5? 3? 1?

6 months from now? 3 months? 1 month?

How far am I supposed to look?

And what am I supposed to be looking at?

Any ideas?

What does it mean when I say I want to?

Is saying I want to ……  enough to galvanise you into action?

What has to happen for you to take action?

Lean and mean or fat and flabby

What’s the health and fitness, the state of your ambition?

Is it clear, focussed and determined – lean and mean like a sex machine (thanks James!)

Or is listless, a quiet echo of a once vital, loud voice – has it put on weight and become fat and flabby?

Even God rested on the 7th day

What is it with ambition anyway?

Why doesn’t it give you a day off?

Have you ever had an ambition free day?

What did you do with yourself?

What was it like? Did you know what to do or how to handle it?

Sunday came around yesterday and ambition was like most days, whispering its sweet nothings in my ear,

reminding me that it was all mine for the taking. That if I really want to I can.

All I have to do is want it.

What about you? Does your ambition ever have a day off?

Ambition – yeh – I got me some of that ……

How many times have you thought – I could do that?

That doesn’t look too hard, with a bit of practice I could do that. 
It always seems like people convince themselves that they coulda been a contender.
Yet the number of people who actually make the effort is small.
The number who do and succeed is even less. 

So what is it that actually makes the difference?
Is it the right Knowledge? The right Strategy? Skill? The Right Attitude?
What does it actually take? 

Ambitious? Frustrated? Talented? Successful? 

What does it really take to turn Ambition into Reality?
