This Is Me.

Ambition is defined as a strong desire -- to achieve or do something. Something that requires hard work and determination. To daydream is defined as a pleasant visionary, a wishful creation of the imagination.

I am an Ambitious Daydreamer. But does that really mean? What is that clever title at the top of my blog? Where and how did he come up with that? These are questions I assume you all have been wondering, and today I want to let you in. Let you in on my reality that I wish to create. To be ambitious requires audacity -- the audacity to fight for what you believe in. That's what I have right now...and will continue to have for my entire life. I believe in self happiness. I believe in the motivation of others. We are all sufferers of this thing called life. We should support each other in our journeys to happiness. As I grew up, I suffered from things that I don't want my future children to. I was broken down by the familiar and the strange. People close and distant stripped me from my ambitions. They stripped me from my yearning to dream. Some people say that dreams are for the weak -- for the people stuck in their ways. But I am here to say that dreams are a gateway to a better life. Dreams are meant for those who see a reality that does not function the way they see fit. So I dream, but in the light of the reality before me. I daydream. I daydream of a world where kids and teens don't believe they must take their own lives to ease the pain. I daydream of a world where students can walk into a school, and not worry about the safety of themselves and their dreams. I daydream of a world where everyone is treated equally regardless of their faith, race, orientation, size, aesthetics, morals, and radically different backgrounds. I daydream because I see the world that I wish to see, but I do not become ignorant of the reality around me. I refuse to live in the imaginary, but instead wish to merge this beauty with the reality around me. That's what daydreaming is all about. You see the world and see where your dreams can improve it. On the other hand, it takes ambition. It takes ambition to step out of the 'normal' and speak your mind -- to share your dreams. Ambition is what some of the greatest innovators in our history had. They dreamed of something greater than their present, and fought for the future they wished to see. When I think of Ambitious Daydreamers I think of Martin Luther King Jr. I think of Nelson Mandela. I think of Mahatma Gandhi. I think of Rosa Parks. I think of the Little Rock Nine. I think of Jackie Robinson. I think of any person who has changed this world for the better -- with their Ambitious Daydreams. We as human beings have a duty. We have a duty to take advantage of the time we have on this earth and make a difference. We must be remembered for our improvements and not for our mistakes. That is why I write on this blog. I don't write these posts and share them for a like on Facebook, or a retweet on Twitter. I do this so MY Ambitious Daydreams can reach you all, and the rest of the world. I want people to know my name and associate it with motivation and innovation. I want to change the world and create the beauty that has been inside my every dream. I have a fire inside me that cannot be extinguished. I want my children to live in a world that is better than the one I see now. It will be better because their father didn't just sit and watch as others made a difference. It will be because he stood up for his dreams and made them heard around the world. I am an Ambitious Daydreamer. I see a beautiful world inside my daydreams of the reality we live in, and wish to share it with the world. So I daydream -- I daydream ambitiously in order to create the world I wish to live in. I urge you all to do the same. Become the Ambitious Daydreamer you need to be to make your happiness attainable. Don't let others keep you away from the life you were destined to have. Fight for your dreams, and you will see a world so much greater. No longer will you just survive through life -- you will thrive in a world YOU helped create.
