Foundational Template: Personal Ambition

Foundational tools and techniques are those that are broadly applicable: work, home, life, family, etc. This foundational template is designed to help you expand your thinking into longer time horizons.

A goal, is an endpoint. It's the ends, but what about the means? That is why for long-term thinking, I prefer to look at ambitions. It encompasses more of the process, the means, the path to get to the goal.

"Ambition: a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work."

Thank you Oxford Language via Google. An adequate definition that goes beyond the "something" and notes that it has a path, and may not be an easy one to traverse. Don't expect a free lunch.

Growth will happen with planning. Look beyond the day-to-day. What are your long-term ambitions?
