Willpower and ambition
We need an idea in our heads to create ambition and try to reach our goals. Therefore, we need willpower to help us along this trajectory. Of course, one thing leads to another. Life projects are important in our lives: how can we plan for the future or set goals within our possibilities? It is important to say: a plan must fit our limits because we cannot dream beyond them. They will often fail and lead to disappointment. We must remember the saying: don’t bite off more than we can chew.
But what about our desires? Yes, desires play an important role in our journey. If we lie in bed dreaming and imagining “what would happen if …”, this “if” becomes an eternal dream, and it will remain a dream until the end of time.
Our limits always depend on our social and economic conditions, as well as our age, creating obstacles in our way. So, these dreams can become desires and nothing else.
We must put our projects into practice as much as possible. On the other hand, we must be prepared for failure. By the way, failures are also important. They happen sometimes due to a lack of luck – in this situation, we have to think that the wind can change its direction – and we cannot let ourselves down if some obstacles appear. We always remember the lack of luck in moments of failure, but when good luck gives us moments of victory, we see these situations as ordinary events; when, in fact, they are not.
Our failures can result from mistakes or attempts to reach goals beyond our capabilities. In this case, our plans can be reorganised and rethought, and we will be ready to restart.
It is not a question of taking risks, but the lesson is: when we want to reach goals, we cannot let time pass or pause our journey, because we would be undermining our possibilities. We cannot let time pass, but we need to be brave enough to do what we want and take advantage of all opportunities we have. Lazy people have no chance against those who decide to pursue their goals.
Everything passes; however, things flow through desire, willpower and hope because the most important thing is to “keep walking”. When we look to the future and stare at our goals, in fact, our dreams will likely start becoming reality. Even though they seem distant, like a utopia that always steps back when we try to move forward, we need to focus on our goals. The desire is a force that lives inside us, but some of us do not value it. Those who do not have desires have nothing else to do in this world.
Desires are linked to fate. When we wish for something, we cannot look to the sides, thinking of the obstacles we will face. Simple desires and even those that are impossible to reach have something in common: they belong to special people.
At the end of our lives, we realise that we abandoned our wishes throughout our journey, and exchanged them for things that added nothing to our lives. These were the obstacles that distracted us or the time that we let pass without clinging to it.
Desires are like a train that passes, and we refuse to board it because we do not consider ourselves capable of being one of its passengers. But who can say that we are incapable if we do not try to prove what we can do? Perhaps we do not put into practice our art of wishing.
