Ambition, Drive, & Grit.. Whats The Difference?

In order, these qualities go from worthless to extremely valuable

Ambition;

Virtually worthless, worth pennies.

Ambition comes through everybody.

We all want the great things this life has to offer

We all have dreams and goals and will chase that feeling of accomplishment forever

We all want something and are willing to chase it,

We all can look up, dream, and create the hunger for that thing.

Therefore, worthless.

Drive;

Drive is worth a ton!

Drive, is required and is the engine to your goals.

But, Drive requires a vehicle.

You can have all the drive in the world, but with no vehicle to drive, that drive is just pent up potential energy.

And a lot of us are here in this very spot,

Have the drive but can’t decide on a vehicle to take, and if we just chose a vehicle, we’d have what it takes to get that vehicle pretty fucking far

But we simply can’t decide

GRIT

is the most valuable trait of all

Grit is cultivated in the process of monotonous behavior towards a greater result and outcome

It’s what gets you through monotonous behavior

Its what all the greats have

It’s that burning flame of aggression in the patience of daily action

Its the intention behind taking daily habits that create the result you want

The breaking point of cultivating Grit,

it’s where we all get bored

It’s where we don’t see the results that we want one day, that drive us to believe it’s not possible

it’s where we give up

it’s where we lose the ambition and drive, to do what’s remarkable

Its where all the cheering goes away

It’s where all the supporters get silent

It’s when you show up, and perform, when nobody’s watching

Even the doubters have left, and came up with their conclusion already,

it’s when you can lie to everybody, that you’re doing it day in and day out, and they’d have no fucking idea wether you did or did not,

but you’d know..

.. you’d know

Everybody you look up to,

They simply,

kept

going
