Entry: Ambition Tuesday, July 12, 2005



            Have you ever had this feeling that when you are talking about your “life-long ambition”, you can’t even persuade yourself to go into it? Or that it had been years since you last talk or even think about it?

 

            Dreams, ambitions, they slowly stepped out of our way in life. As we work and slave everyday, our pace becomes insignificant to those of our dreams. They seem to be out of reach of a normal person living in our society. We blame it on the society and we know that it isn’t the cause. Well, who is able to let go of luxuries of the society and enjoy the real life they want to live in?

 

            We forget our initial dreams, our goal of our lives. Is reality too much for us that we can’t realize our dreams in it? Or is it that we dare not deviate too much from the reality that we know? Is deviation such a taboo?

 

            Have you ever felt abandoned by the society? Have you ever felt that you were going to break down? Have you felt that you are working on a job you don’t wish to work on? Have you ever felt that everyone is just trying to be the “good guy”? They try to stay honest but desires to commit crimes? They wish to do everything they want, but they fear what the other people says. Well, we all have repressions don’t we?

 

            Why don’t we quit repressing and just forget altogether. Let’s just treat it that it never happened at all. We never had such an ambition! But look around you and think about it, are all these what you want in life? You have the answer to this don’t you?

 

            It is true we all live in a society, we have to bear the criticisms of everyone in it. We can either follow the society’s pace or we can opt out of its pace and start setting our own pace. So I say, don’t get lost in the crowd. Don’t make your work a routine. Do what you love or you can love what you do.

 

            If you choose the other side of the fence and say, “Hey, look at the luxuries I own”. That’s true that you own a lot physically but do you have that spiritual connection with those things you own? If after listening to this doesn’t wake anybody up, then all I have to say is that live the life you want it to be. Be your own idol, and stop following others’ pace.
