Ambition, Drive, and Patience.

The 3 words I have chosen for the title summarises the basis of this blog post, I wanted to write this for a while but I could never quite visualise it and get down to actually writing it, plus essays and deadlines tend to distract your mind at times. So, just to give pre-clarification to this blog post; its purpose is to hopefully give a little more hope to everyone who ends up reading this (whether it be today, or years from now) specifically hope toward ones future. Unfortunately in a world containing people who seem to derive their happiness, satisfaction and pleasure from lying to people and manipulating people into thinking what they want to do isn't "possible" or "logical" it's quite easy to find solace in giving up. Giving up is all well and dandy if you're fine with letting go of what is your true dream but if you know that at some point, whether it be 10 years, or 50 years from now that you'll look at your life, and regret that you didn't chase your dream further, then grab it while it's fresh in your mind. The thing that changes peoples perception of certain dreams as being "impossible" or "Illogical" to completely "worth it" and "achievable" is the person that wants the dream. When I say "want" I mean someone who is truly passionate about achieving that dream, and therefore will go through any stress or problems that may arise in getting to that eventual goal. That is one of the main things that will stop a person achieving dreams; the obstacles such as finance, stress etc  and if its that,the people are talking about in relation to the "impossibility" of your dream, then obviously take it into consideration but don't give up because of that. If you have a dream or a goal, you should only ever give up on it if there is a really serious and imperative demand for you to give up...and right now I can't really think of one. So think to yourself if you ever feel like giving up; "Why am I giving up?" question your motives and your reasoning, because most of the time there's very little to support the reasoning, and unless its something horrific, demeaning and of course illegal then don't let others dictate what you're true dream is. We're all born with a talent, or love for something and it's wrong to send someone in a direction they don't want to go.
I also want to stress that a 'dream' can be anything, it doesn't have to be a dream career, it can be a personal occupation such as being a parent, or as simple as making sure you enjoy your life. Ambition, drive and arguably the most important; patience - They key factors to achieving any goal. Ever.

P.S. Even if you're not young, or think you're too old to grasp the bull by the horn as it were, that's also not true, whatever age, you can do what you want to do!
