Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.

Have you ever played a video game that didn't have escalating levels of difficulty? Well, life can feel like play, too, when we purposefully engage in activities that demand we test and develop our skills.

It is the main motivation of mankind to be free, to express our true selves and pursue our dreams without restriction--to experience what may be called Personal Freedom.

We have to reconceptualize and understand that the act of pursuing our dreams and being our full selves is what allows us to feel alive.

The war you feel within - that restlessness, the unending uncertainty - is not to be dismissed, avoided, hated. That internal conflict is not dark, it is a beaming light trying to focus you, the rolling thunderous call of courage, the rays of greatness seeking to explode beyond your skin to touch once more the Spirit of Possibility.

Never let someone tell you that you or your dreams are impossible, improbable, or not ‘good enough’ for their liking, especially when they have no experience or knowledge of your true heart and powers.

Optimists are happier in life for a reason.
