On a cloudless night you will see beautiful bright stars. It is as if you want to reach out and touch it hence the saying “reaching for the stars”.
You will easily notice someone who never looks at the stars. It is immediately clear that they don’t aspire to greater heights. In their manner of walking and their general approach, their eyes are generally fixated downward or, at best, parallel to the ground. These are people who don’t inspire and neither do they find a way to be positive. Life to them is almost meaningless and this is what they expect from everyone else. Asking them for a solution is asking them for the impossible. At best they will flip through a few pages hoping to find an answer while their brain has become somewhat unused.
Now if you find yourself in this situation, where you are not in a positive mood, then it can be changed. You will need to change a few things like the way you think and, if you cannot do this by yourself, then consult a professional because your life will continue to be meaningless unless you do something different. The most simplistic answer that you will get from such any unambitious person is “I don’t know”. If you have ever been in a situation where someone has been unhelpful, even in the most simple of cases, then know that that person lacks ambition. You have to ask yourself “what would I have done had I been in that person’s position”. If your answer is no different to what you experienced then certainly you need help. An ambitious or solution orientated person will always find a way to give direction to your situation and advise accordingly. You must ask yourself do I look up to the stars and do I reach out to it. If you don’t then you most likely lack ambition too.
It is an ideal time to take stock of yourself. Let the year ahead be the change that you will be more dynamic and ambitious. In these nights of clear skies, lie down outside on a patch of grass and gaze and the most spectacular of heavenly object, the sparkling stars. Now commit to be like it and sparkle.
