Are You a Somebody or a Nobody? By Gary Vurnum Are you ambitious? I know I am. Maybe you're not...but you
should be. Ambition is something that we
usually associate with the go-getters and the high-fliers. It shouldn't be.
You have a duty to yourself to be ambitious. You are letting yourself down if
you are not. Why? Well, if you are ambitious you
have a 'spark' that bounces off of those around you. Ambition automatically
generates enthusiasm, the only side-effect of which,
is that it is catching! So you see...just by being
ambitious you can have a positive effect on both yourself and those around
you. It's very difficult to be miserable when you are in the company of
someone who is enthusiastic. Try it. "But I don't have anything
to be ambitious about", you might say. Well that's you and my wife
then! Up until only recently, she would quite happily spend any spare time
she had glued to the TV. She wasn't bothered that she didn't have a hobby, an
interest, or a book to read. She was stagnating right in
front of my eyes. Aged 32, going on 92! So what changed? Well...I did! As time went on and I became
more involved in my business...she gradually got 'caught-up' with what I was
doing. Every day I would eagerly explain something about what I was
doing...or I would get her to look through what I had written to check for
mistakes. After a while I noticed a very
slight change in her. She would start asking ME questions, or would make
little suggestions about how I could change things. It was as if her brain had
kicked into gear because she was having something to feed it with. Now she's
thinking about doing a course on something she had always wanted to do but
never 'had the time' to do before! "What's this got do with
me?" you may be asking. Well, you may be thinking that
ambition is not for you. I'm here to tell you to WAKE UP!
Get a life! Get a hobby! Get an interest!
Do something, anything, that you
enjoy doing. Be ambitious for a happy and
successful future. Take a few chances, get up from the sofa and get out in
the wide world and design a life - your life. Get excited about something.
It's amazing how you can literally 'make' time when there is something to do
that you are excited about. You...and you alone, are in
control of what you do, how you feel, what happens to you, and how you deal
with it. Stop finding excuses for NOT
doing something or for NOT being someone. Go the extra mile just once...and
you will be amazed at how easy it is to have a rewarding life. Every minute wasted doing
'nothing' is a minute that you could have spent doing something, and being
someone. Don't waste your life. It's the only one you've got. To our Success! Gary Vurnum has quit his full-time job to devote himself
to his family and his self-development. His life turned around after the
birth of his severely disabled son, and he now wants to share with others the
tools he used to remain positive during the worst time of his life. His
