Showing results for "Power for Development" in Motivation & Self-Improvement

Have you ever written down a goal? As you were writing it, did you hear two voices in your head? One voice saying: "That's it. I'm going to change my life!" "You can have it if you work for it!" Then the other saying: "Don't be a fool; you'll lose everything." "Forget It. That's ridiculous." The first voice is the positive voice of your dream; the other is the voice of current reality. The second voice sees only the present and the past (which no longer exists)... but the first sees the future as it could be.

Ambition can be a powerful force for good in our lives. But only if it is legitimate. Sometimes misinterpreted and often misunderstood, ambition - true ambition - is not a selfish quality. It is not another word for ruthless; it is not something to be shunned or subdued. Legitimate ambition is an honorable trait. At its very best, our ambition serves us and other people. In fact, pursuing your ambition is one of the most selfless things you can do.

Our mistake, says Dr. Miller, is that we try to change what is before we're fully aware of who we are and what we stand for. If we wish to achieve goals that truly satisfy and fulfill us, we need a true awareness of who we are, how far we want to go, and in what direction.

Like the giant Gulliver, asleep in Lilliput, we often find ourselves tied down, unable to move. We are hound by fears, misconceptions, and desires we cannot see or comprehend. It is a condition created by what Guy Finley calls our ''Me Mind".
