Ambition

Most of us are not gifted with the ability to have or do what we want in our lives.  Many of us must work hard and save for the little enjoyments life offers.  A nice vacation, a new car, or something as simple as a nice fancy dinner at a very elegant restaurant.

Personally I am one of these people.  I work my tail off each and every day to give myself the life I have.  Until the last few months I never had to worry about anything.  I had a great job making an amazing amount of money in a short amount of time, and I blew it all away.  It's moments like this depression sets in and you realize just how much of life I took for granted.

People today truly depress me.  As I sit here on house arrest, one of the causes of my ability to blow through money, I get to see people as they truly are.  How people take the gifts and abilities given to them for granted.

Take my sister for one, she has so much potential to be anywhere she wants to be in life, one of the smartest people I know, yet she squanders it away worrying about other people's families.  She has an amazing eye for photography, yet does nothing with it (mine and Brandon's pics were just a quick shoot she threw together).

Each day I feel like I live life like my sister.  I live it knowing there is so much more out there for me, yet I am not living up to my potential.  For the last few years I have been so hell bent on a life in entertainment.  Not to be rich or famous because that was never my intention, but to live a life doing what I enjoy.  I love to entertain, to make people forget about their worries and life for even just a moment, and see there is a little ray of sunshine in their cloudy day.  Not all of us are gifted with the ability to have a bright sunshiny day each day.

Today I sat at home, alone, on my day off and just thought about life and the direction Brandon and I as headed.  The boy has an amazing gift he is willing to use when the opportunity arises, yet I am a server at a nobody style restaurant making minimum wage at best.  It's very depressing to say the least.  That's when that feeling hits me, that moment when something comes over you and you realize your better than this.  Your meant for something greater, something amazing.  That's when I'm forced to ask what my dare to be great moment is.  What is it that I am meant to do with my life?

Everyone is meant for something great.  Everyone is meant to be extraordinary.  Everyone is meant to change the world in some fashion, it's if we have the guts to put envy thing aside and go for it.  To put aside all fears and doubts and remember, everything works out in the end.

My fear is gone.  Today is the day that I step into the light knowing I have the greatest support system by my side, amazing friends who want to be apart of something out of this world.  Today is the day that I decide, it's my turn to make an impact.  It's my turn to take everyone with me and show that its never to late to follow your dreams and follow your heart.

As I have said before, it only takes one person to make a change.  It only takes that first step to reach for the stars.  Ambition has only the limits you set before it, it's when you decide to hit that wall running, swing that sledge hammer as hard as you can.  Tear it down, brick by brick.  Everyone has unlimited potential to do amazing things, but we are our only road block.  We are the ones who built that wall before us, we are the only ones who can tear it down.

Many of us don't realize the true support we have around us until the time is right.  Those who believe in us and our visions.  Those who support us are the ones we need by our side.  It's sad when you see how few in numbers that really is, but it will blow you away when you see that the sky is no longer your limit.  Inspiration is all around you, all you have to do is close your eyes, open your heart and your mind and your level of potential is only as limited as your desires.  Success, like death, doesn't wait for you to be ready.  How far you go all depends on how free you allow yourself to be when that moment arrives.
