Should AMBITION be impossible to achieve?

-        Ambition and a contented personal life need to be contradictory to each other. Make your ambition almost impossible to achieve!

Less Ambitious people suffers less criticisms in life, moreover they have secured life, with their own decent degree and a well-paid ten to five job and they tend to settle down comfortably in it. With almost everything in life is compromised and probably satisfactory to them leads an average life with no high standards and public networks and moreover with the results they get are not-so-disappointing because of their less expectations and depressions are much lower as compared to a well career-obsessed person who’s dreams are not merely dreams but the mad-passion to achieve, goes down in dumps when results are not up to the peak. They inculcate their life to the career, they are obsessed with. 

“The pace of my life should be such that, I won’t be able to know how months of this year will pass under my consequences of HARDWORK. I should have no time to be in touch with friends with their hangouts and shall not improve my skills in those nicotinic activities such as sharpening smoking skills. I have to work round the clock to keep up with competition and should not get over-confident, you see, I AM NOT RELATING TO RAKHI SAWANT, at least. I must have confidence but when that confidence comes on to the public spectacles then, it might be known as OVER-CONFIDENCE, keep the dare-to-commit mindset and don’t let the magma spill out of your mouth. By this behavior I presume that there wouldn’t be any intimacy left between my once-upon-good friends and me. Though I am familiar with lots of people courtesy ‘FACEBOOK’ but on social networks we are trading intimacy with familiarity.

The digital world is crazy, perhaps addictive to these networks as since we decide when we open or shut the conversations liable to our feelings.”

I am increasingly finding myself a bit-of lonely in the middle of every work or study buzz happens. I think it is the lack of ‘me’ time that makes me feel so. How many times I gaze myself onto the mirror, Questioning about WHAT I DID? WHAT I HAVE TO DO? WHAT SHALL BE DONE? May be I am missing my own company, my own thoughts. Or I am missing being with the closest friends ever had. And that is the reason for me seeking out people out there on FB which have no relevance to me as in physically, mentally & spiritually.

And yet how would we be any different from animals, if we all did was, eat, sleep and exist in the small space we call ours and we are happy to mark its boundaries as ours? WHAT IS LIFE, IF NOT AN ASPIRATION? A stress to LIFE, to reach out the BIG-GOALS. It is that aspiration no matter how unattainable or unachievable the goal is, which life lifts us above the circumstances that merely acts as boundaries when we see them as walls. Break those walls, make your ambition almost impossible to achieve. “If a blacksmith were to dream of being an Astronaut, chances are that he may at least end-up setting up a small business for himself more improved than blacksmith’s rather this time a goldsmith and could carve out is lifestyle better. On the other hand is resigned to his lot, he were to have no ambitions in life, he would die a blacksmith and so would his future generations because of ‘no ambition’ mindset has prevailed to next generation too. Genetics could be changed, CHANGE IS GOOD but provoking this thought to become madness and desperation for their life is too difficult. An impossible dream may set a better life, ahead for us.

The problem is not with dreaming, but making that dream an obsession; not with almost impossible ambitions, but with making that drive the be-all and end-all of your existence. Ambition and a contented personal life need not to be contradictory to each other. But on the same hand we must not compromise the personal life of studies to those with the Ambitious phrases and idioms with friends. We should be able to distinguish between ambition that is within the realms of possibility and that which may be impossible to achieve. Knowing that, we need to strike the balance between over-riding ambition and contented personal life of studies. There are phases when one needs to give one’s all to studies and others when needs to back out with equal confidence and give due importance to personal life of studying sentimentalism. Balance and Time management is the key – certainly not easy as it sounds!

Have you heard, “better Socrates dissatisfied than a pig satisfied”? Is the life more interesting when we are in big trouble with more fear of loosing high respect or the boring life with no high ambition and lesser respect? Who in their right mind would want to lead the life of a pig with no questions of the world, no rude complaints and no high ambition? Socrates with his dissatisfied mind, his curiosity and mental turmoil would certainly be the choice of every rational person. I know, this all is highly insensitive in practical ways but what more important is at last, “A TRY”.  A try to that BIG world, which you once thought was almost unachievable, is now just in front of you just a few hard miles away. 

Go grab it, it's never too late to realize what we face. Have a positive perception and the REAL LIFE also have a CTRL-Z, CTRL-V and CTRL-X options!

Attitude Matters, Attitude sells.

To See what people really value, watch when they put their money, where their mouths are- literally! People tip more when the wait person makes them feel good, Friends Care more when they are sure the other would lend a Helping Hand, Colleagues always have that Disguise Intentions, though they don't ought to Show them When at work and moreover... Even Parents get their child to Hostel or boarding School not because to facilitate, but the reason might lie in their Work pressure, So that they Don't want to Spend Extra TIME (caring) With them! 

Even, I Am in a Situation itself, that I have Financial problem, and Again over that parental Emotional Drama! I am like, Fed up of all things in my Life, YET I AM STILL LIVING in the Sense of REGRETS, For Being BORN into this Cruel WORLD! I would Surely Make up my Mind Doing something as where as my Career issues are concerned. The EGO still lies, I would certainly call it being self-worth. 

Would Pursue my Career and Life WITH MY OWN GRATITUDE And Here lies My ATTITUDE! 

Develop your skills being more Attitudinal and worth yourself more each day, People value - for the Way yuh make them Feel!

People BUY FEELINGS! The more sooner yuh understand it the more it will be Benificial forr YUH!

LOVE YUH ALL!
