Be Ambitious

“A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambitions.”
-Marcus Aurelius

Ambition is the most important tool to achieve success, overriding both talent and resources by far. An ambitious attitude can lead anyone to triumph and satisfaction, regardless of what is put in front of them. To have the will, the dream, and the courage to be on top of the world will get you a lot farther in life than any skill you can possibly possess.

Everyone should have a philosophy of life, a motto, or a standard that provides direction, motivation, and tranquility to one trying to make sense of an often chaotic and challenging life. No matter your situation in life, the challenges you face, or the adversity or criticism that you encounter, there is goodness in life if you so choose to see it. This philosophy can encourage you to seek what is good, to do good, and to never allow what is bad to pervade your life.
