When you sit back and wonder about the meaning of life, do you stop to think about what your life ambition is?

You’ve been told you’re entire life that you are in control of your destiny. If that’s true, what have you decided to do about it?

Are you someone that just kind of floats through life, takes whatever job was handed to the, live the lifestyle that is easiest to cope with, and just kind of take things as they are given to you? Or are you the person that takes control, has goals, and wants to achieve a higher level of living?

I’m a firm believer that for just about every situation I’m in, I one way or another got myself there. If it is an unpleasant experience, there are two options:

1. Live with it and be dissatisfied with life
2. Take control and do something about it

If you’re not happy with your job, get a new one. If you want to make more money, find a way to turn your hobbies into a part-time business. If you are unhappy with the amount of debt you have, draw out a plan and set the bar high.

You have the ability to achieve whatever it is that you want, but it’s up to you to identify your life ambition and then seek it out. If it’s great wealth you want, go get it. If you want peace of mind and strong relationship with your family, you can help create that environment.

It is important to stop every once in a while and think about what you feel you were put on this earth to do and what you want to accomplish. Identify what your values are and figure out a way to align those values with your goals. When you do that, you can achieve both happiness and success.

What do you want to be remembered for when you leave this world?
