Ambition and persistence…

By Bernadette Kathryn, LMT, IHLC

Ambition is the path to success.

Persistence is the vehicle you arrive in.

~ Bill Bradley

Ambition is the path …

… a strong desire to do or to achieve something, through determination and hard work. It is an earnest desire for some achievement or distinction, as power, honor, fame, or wealth, and the willingness to strive for its attainment.

Persistence is the vehicle …

… obstinate continuance in the course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. The continued or prolonged existence of something that leads you to your desire, the vehicle.

This game is about creating a healthy lifestyle that involves all aspects of our lives. We genuinely believe that a healthy lifestyle is a conglomeration of factors that influence our health directly and indirectly. Often we may have one or two areas of our life working well and are in sync with our goals while another one or two areas seem to elude our grasp, that’s why we create Smart Goals. Our Smart Goals are the road maps of our lives, guiding and directing our actions, choices, and focus.

Our Ambition guides our Smart Goals and desire for more ~ more love, more meaning, more adventure, more achievement, more of whatever moves us. And, Persistence is the vehicle that drives us to our destination of success. We need both to create the life of our dreams, we need a strong, burning desire to accomplish something meaningful to us and we need the dig down deep determination and persistence that will drive us all the way to the finish line of victory.

Everything we do and set out to do is going to be more comfortable when we feel good ~ physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey; it doesn’t matter what your personal goals are, it does matter that you have something in your life that makes your heart sing and moves you forward with your ambition.
