Ambition vs Rewards

People confuse ambition with the rewards of their efforts. 

A businessman spent the morning telling me of cars, houses and holidays he wants when I asked him about his ambition. No buddy, that's the rewards you get for achieving your ambition. 

Ambition is your role, your contributions to society. It's you making your voice heard, your efforts to improve your local or international community. 

No, no one is asking you to change the world, so relax. There is, however, a need for your voice, your contribution to make the world a little better, a little sweeter. 

Hell, it doesn't have to be the world, if what you have to offer influences more than just you, touching a few other lives, well, then you are living out your ambitions. 

Once on the road to fulfilling that ambition, then the rewards will come ... and stay. If you get the order wrong, you may find that the rewards come and go. 

So, today... in some small way, do something for someone else. Share with them what you have, even if it's just a little advice.
