Be Ambitious

(For You)

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about 17 hours ago 1 min read
David Bowie never doubted himself!

“If people are doubting how far you can go,

go so far

that you can’t hear them anymore.”

The best way to deal with doubt

is to “show” what we can do,

pushing ourselves beyond that limit.

To “prove” that anything is possible.

Many times we only start to doubt ourselves

when we hear others doubting us.

This kind of negativity needs to be ‘fought off!’

Build up that wall of determination

in your mind

by achieving and by being successful

in the many goals that will lead towards your dream.

When we create our own path,

we define our own standards,

and eventually become so busy

that we just do not have time to listen to any doubts.

Be ambitious

on your journey in life.

The journey

is as important

as the destination.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

    “If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can’t hear them anymore.” I love this. And I love David Bowie. I love this poem. And I love how true it is. It is never too late to stop doubting yourself, to be ambitious, and to go so far that even your shadow remains behind.
