Burning Red With Ambition

Seriously sometimes it burns…

I am very ambitious. This is scary because being overly ambitious is a thing. I believe I can do many things but not everything. I’m good at gauging how long something should take me to learn and whether or not it’s beneficial to work toward it. When I do want to work towards something my body tells me.

It burns. It burns red hot, radiating from the center of my chest. It’s the only way I can describe it. Burning deep red breathes. I feel it spread all around my body. Excitement, Serotonin.

What is ambition?

The definition is “a strong desire to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.” When I say I’m very ambitious it means I have a strong, a red hot burning strong, desire to achieve my goals. Adrenaline is mixed in with my ambition. Just thinking of my goals gets my heart going and my body moving. Sometimes it makes it hard to sleep. There are so many things I do because of my ambition. Every night I have something to think of, “What am I gonna do tomorrow to make my goals reality ?” That question is like steroids for an ambitious person.

How do you become ambitious?

You just have to want it. Want your goals more than anything. If you’ve made the right goals then you’ll feel the burn of ambition. Find out what you truly want. Make a plan and follow it through. Life has many obstacles. How are you going to handle it? Your answer makes all the difference.
