Introduction: Ambitious Ambition

The Ambitious Ambition series is a blog post that I have been working on for about three weeks now. It first came to me some weeks ago when I was going through some personal battles in my life dealing with my own dreams, my finances and the uncertainty of chasing those dreams despite financial ruin. In that time I have undergone some changes emotionally, mentally, and I have taken some extrodinary risk, risk that mouths ago, years ago; I would not have taken, simply out fear. The fear failure, the fear of being unable to support myself; honestly just fear period was what hindered me before from stepping out on the faith of my talents and gifts.

But despite my fears here I stand chasing after my dream, and it got me to thinking about this new emotion, this feeling, this new found courage that I had suddenly developed? Where did it come from? And why had it come so unexpectedly and so (in my opinion) late in life. The answer was simple: I Rafael Solece had stopped dreaming.

I know that a lot of you are thinking; What the fuck! Well let me explain. I don't mean I had stopped dreaming as in I had given up. NO, just the opposite, I had changed my mind. I woke one day and decided I wasn't going to be scared of life. I decided that I wanted more than just my good job with the good pay, but I wanted to be happy. And that for me wasn't going to come working on some ones else's idea of a career. I loved to write, I loved to act, I love to sing, I love dance, and so I decided I would do them all. That brought me here though, top this thought.

Ambition

Ambition is what I had gained after I had stopped dreaming. I was no longer a dreamer. I was a doer, and that was far better than a dream. It made me think about the people who aspired to achieve their dreams, and when I thought of them, one word came to mind, Ambitious. That sparked a whole movement in my mind, and I wanted to know more about that word and those people. So I sat down with some aquaitances of mine and I began to question them about their careers, and what lead them to their pathes. These inquires lead me to My Ambitious Ambition series. In the coming weeks I will be posting the next four installments of this series, and I hope they will inspire someone to stop dreaming and start doing….

Thank You
