When you hear the word ambition what description first springs to mind for you? Drive? A strong desire to achieve? Laser focus on attaining certain goals? Or would it be someone ruthlessly pursuing there objectives? One thing is for certain. Successful people are ambitious. Brian Tracey defines ambition as "neutral". It is neither good nor bad but rather it is how we use ambition in our life that gives it a judgement value. A bit like money really.
Why is it that some people have it bursting out of their veins, while others never feel it no matter how many life chances are sent their way? So, is ambition something that we are born with, or can we attain it at any stage in our lives? Can our ambitions increase or decline at various stages of our lives? Yes, I believe they can.
