Drive vs Ambition
Sometimes I wonder why I still feel defeated most days?

Is it because I haven’t achieved what I set out to do in my 27 years? But,
then I question what exactly was that?
A little while ago a colleague of my husband’s said how she
felt I’d achieved so much...
"Alice, all you need to do is think about what you have achieved... Lost weight, got fit, ran a marathon & got the job of your dreams - if I were you I would be the most confident person ever"
I felt a klaxon go off in my mind, as I realised that all of
these things… were achievements, and massive goals for me… I’d not only done
them, I’d smashed them. I’d turned my life around, and somehow found my true
self in the process.
But, deep
down in my heart I know there’s more. So much more left to do.
Last year I drew up a 30 before 30 list to keep myself in
check – I was a woman with a mission. (Like many before me). I was determined
to complete not just one, but the entire 30 on my list.
Well I’m 12 down, with 18 left to go. It’s a work
in progress.
What did I really expect to have achieved by now?
The truth is. I just don’t know. I’m a dreamer and I have
wild ambitions to forge a life which is full of creativity, love,
passion and undying happiness. Is that really possible?
Like every dream, if you believe it possible – then I truly
think it is.

It's possible, you have what it takes to achieve it within you, but you also need to remember what you've already achieved and be thankful for it. It's easy to keep looking forward, striving for more, but remembering how we got to where we are today, acknowledging it, being proud of it, is also important.
