Ambition quotes - from my notebooks

As in a job you may have to start at the bottom and work your way up. So in life also - to learn, grow, progress, explore, develop and to find out about life's riches and rewards . . .

The end (of one thing) is really the beginning of a new and exciting future - if you just give it the chance.

People come and go in your life. Memories can be very special. Work hard to make your future. Make your future happy. Fulfill your memories.

Life won't eat you. Dare to be different. Get out of your comfort zone and try something you're always wanted to do (eg write a book), and do it.

Face the challenge. Be determined and do the best you can. You'll probably surprise yourself with what you can do.

You can do anything you want so don't tell yourself otherwise.

Push limits - yes, including self. But understanding may best be just under surface - near the limit, but not quite. Have the capacity to push that little bit more.

Appreciate capabilities, understand limitations, harness energies, achieve goals, reset priorities - and go for it . . .

Go with your life's flow - and strength you'll find in abundance. Go against your instincts - and difficulties will come along. You can redirect yourself. Don't worry for the time lost. It is human to err but not picking yourself up is the mistake, not making the mistake itself.

When you have nothing you want everything. When you have everything, after a while you can realise that it does not really do it for you. Do you still think the same? Do you still feel the same? What, if anything, has changed?

Perhaps doing this is somebody else's destiny.

Nothing new under the sun. May be or not, but are we aware of what is under the sun? How aware are we of our role in life and that of our life within us? How great a store do we place on this? Is it worthy of our attention and efforts? If so, how much? Surely a great deal. To get to know our inner selves is as important if not more important than other ventures or activities upon which we often devote oodles of time. What priorities do you have?
