      Introduction

      Everybody has dreams and ambitions. We all want things from life, however sometimes we find ourselves drifting aimlessly in our own lives, with no clear direction and no goal in mind.

      Adrift on a sea of vague ambitions and dreams, we go where the currents of life take us instead of steering ourselves towards the destiny that we desire.

      It is possible to stop drifting in life. Who is happy by just getting by? Nobody!

      You should be in charge of your own life and this is the book to show you how.

      It requires tools, nothing more than you motivating yourself to explore what your ambitions and desires are then making them happen.

      Wanting success is too vague and unsatisfying. Stop wishing and get the real deal, you can have the success that you crave!

      You can make any of your dreams come true with motivation and ambition. Your life will never be the same once you realized what your ambitions are and you motivate yourself!

      From small personality changes to big dreams, with motivation, you can achieve anything that you want.

      Yes, it takes work on your part, but anything worth doing requires some hands-on and your life is no different. In fact, it is the ultimate hands-on project.

      Once you know what your ambitions and desires are, you can begin to make better choices, choices that will steer you towards your goal.

      First you must understand what your goals are, you must want to achieve them, you must believe in yourself that you can achieve those goals, you decide how to meet your goals, you must motivate yourself to act according to your plan to achieve the goals and then you must be diligent about staying on top of your goals once you reach them.

      Goals vs. Purpose

      What are your goals in life? Does your life have a purpose? Many people think that those two terms are interchangeable. We spoke of goals in our introduction so does that mean that this book is about finding your goals and not your life’s purpose?

      No. This book has to do with both. Your purpose is just that, your purpose on this Earth. It is not something easily defined but it is that thing that you strive to be.

      For some, their purpose is to help people who are sick, so they become nurses and doctors. For others, their calling is to spread the word of their religion, so they become missionaries or rise in the ranks of their religion.

      For others, it is to create something that is unique, to leave behind something tangible with their name on it for others to enjoy, so they become artists, writers, and even moviemakers.

      Some people want to raise a family so they become mothers and fathers and work on raising children with morals and values. Others want to be wealthy and so they work towards achieving that wealth through wise business moves.

      Some people want to make the world a better place, to be a voice for those that have none and so they become activists and volunteers.

      Owning your own business and never having to worry about living month to month again could be their ultimate yearning.

      Wanting to see the world and travel could be what pulls people as well, along with any other adventures; some people feel their role in this world is to be able to do something that has never been done before, no matter how dangerous.

      Your purpose is that thing that you want to be, your calling in life so to speak. There are no right or wrong answers to what that might be because only you can know what it is.

      Some people have described it as a song in their heart and soul, something that only they can hear and it moves them. It is that thing that calls to you in your dreams.

      Only you can know what you want to do with your life. You have heard of people talking about the big picture before. The big picture is the end goal and for you, your purpose is your big picture.

      Every choice that you make in your life should be getting you closer to that big picture.

      However, when you do not know what your purpose is, you find yourself making decisions without a big picture in mind.

      If you have no defined big picture and it will probably leave you feeling unfulfilled. Worse yet, when you know what your heart desires, but you ignore it for whatever reason.

      Perhaps you feel your purpose is to make music but your family disapproves and so you put on a business suit and you go to work daily in an office but you are not happy. You are not happy because you are working for something other than that thing that your heart and soul tells you to.

      In order to be truly happy, and who does not want to be, you must work towards achieving that desire inside of you.

      Goals are the steps you take, no matter how big or small, that get you closer to achieving the thing that you feel that you are meant to do with your life.

      For example, if your calling is to help people, and you want to be a doctor, your goals would be first to get into a good school, graduate, pass the test to becoming a doctor and then going into practice.

      Consider your purpose to be your ultimate ambition and your goals are the stepping stones that lead the way.

      Your goals should all align with the big picture of what you want to do with your life because by completing them, you will be that much closer to achieving your true life’s calling.

      If you do not know what your purpose is, then you cannot set your goals. In the introduction, we talked about how to follow a plan towards achieving that ambition, such as setting your goals, and then the steps you will need to achieve them.

      We will go into each of those steps in-depth later because you will need to follow those for each and every one of your goals.

      This is where the motivation comes in, the ambition but it will bring you towards fulfilling your purpose, and that is the biggest goal of them all.
