Ambition and U

Ambitions slide off the tongue as quick as they race through the mind
Ambitions of wealth, fame, health, and all that are sublime
But what is not perceive as recently is the will to actually achieve
The effort, dedication, and strenuous path one takes in order to succeed 
Only you know what it really takes
To create, achieve and learn through your mistakes
Ambitions are great but don’t be naive

Proclaiming and having a desiring mind is a beautiful characteristic. However, when I hear 
ambitions of some and see their actions taken to achieve goals, the term “you can talk the 
talk but you cant walk the talk” comes to mind.   That being said, as people we have to 
obtain more drive and belief that we know we can achieve and then we have to take the 
arduous path of actually obtaining it.  For example, learning an instrument, second language, 
defeating inner demons and addictions.  Overall, I leave you with you with the saying  “ you 
just can talk the talk but you gotta walk the talk.”  Not sure I explained what I really wanted 
to say but I think you get the idea. lol love and peace
