There is no hope for you if you don’t have a definite goal to aim for. This goal may change from time to time, but change is always necessary to zone in on your target. Changing a goal reminds me of watching scenes from World War II on The History Channel. An enemy plane is diving in on a ship; the gunners are firing furiously into the sky, and yet, the plane still bears down on the ship. Unless the plane actually flies into the wall of lead, it ends up hitting the ship.
Success can elude us if we are firing out of control. In today’s warfare the ship fires one missile before the plane is even in sight, when the plane zigzags, the missile zigzags. Usually the plane is destroyed before the gunner actually sees it. Our new philosophy is Ready, Fire, Aim. So, if you are Ready, Fire, and Aim high. It is better to aim at the stars and hit only the moon, than to aim at the moon and hit your front yard.
There is a price for success, as well as a price for failure. You must be willing to pay the price. I can tell you from my own experience that the price for failure is always much higher than the price for success.
God did not give us the ability to dream without the ability to fulfill our dreams. Ambition is part of dreaming. Know this and know it well. Ambition is the power that allows us to go forward when things look the darkest. Ambition will always outdo skill. Ambition is simply your decision to write your own ticket. Ambition is disguised in the beginning as being enthusiastically discontented. Ambition is reading this book and books like it.
Today’s Exercise: Set your goals high; you take care of the “WHAT” and God will take care of the HOW.
Today’s Affirmation: I do only those things that make me successful.
Points to Ponder: Ambition is the power that allows us to go forward when things look the darkest.
