Ambition

It is 12: 03 a.m. and I have recently arrived from a long day at work, coupled with a night on the town. Nothing to serious, just a vodka and cranberry and some conversation. My day went from one phase to the next, but one thing remained constant. It is the same thing that made me start this blog, move to dc, and allows me to work two jobs in which I have no particular incentive outside of money to perform. This constant, this force, this vigor, is ambition.

The feeling is completely self induced, and derives from many different things. It is fueled by negativity, and failure. Allowing the space to formulate the ideas that will springboard me into obtaining my goals. The force never sleeps, never gets bored, and has a voracious appetite for satisfaction and complacency. So much so that the energy only wants to make it one way, and will accept nothing less than that. The Strength needs no company, as it is not a team player. In this game there is only room enough for one. A Kobe Bryant like approach is taken toward life, with an understanding that there are many different ways to make it. However a emphasis is placed on making it the way in which designed. The hunger is unapologetic to those who want to take credit for something that they were not responsible for. The vigor is selfish and selfless at the same time. Motivated and inspired by the spirit of others. Irritatingly independent, at times the notion of help seems foreign. Loyalty is paramount. Not only to others but to personal belief. For this, the character is able to rest knowing that integrity is priority. Admittedly impatient, readiness to move sometimes deters fruition.

So as I lay my head this night, with a ll these thoughts on my mind, I am encouraged with the direction of tomorrow. The burning fire that resides within serves as a constant reminder. As the architect of my success, with an impeccable blueprint in hand, I am crafting a sky scraper that is sure to reach the clouds.

Ambition is pure, ambition is real, ambition is me.
