In simpler words, ambition is a desire. It is a desire to achieve something and your eagerness to fulfill it. Are you ambitious? What and who inspires you to achieve your dreams?
For most women, ambition is something that drives their every move. However, because women are often regarded as “the weaker sex,” women are often underestimated in the corporate, business, or entertainment world.
Sometimes, women need to strive harder because of these prejudices, but in a study by Time Inc. Brand, Real Simple, their survey revealed that women are just as ambitious as men. And in a study by CNBC and Momentive’s New Women at Work survey, they revealed that nearly 50% of their respondents considered themselves as “very ambitious.”
So yes, women are ambitious and they can achieve anything they want, just as much as men.
USING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION TO ACHIEVE YOUR AMBITIONS
Whether you want to have a Ph.D., become a lady judge, or be the first female President of the United States, you need to start with ambition. And ambition is a belief in oneself.
Several celebrities are known advocates of the Law of Attraction, and use it to manifest specific goals in their careers.
The most popular advocate of using vision boards is none other than Oprah Winfrey, one of the most successful media personalities in TV history. Oprah constantly mentioned in interviews that she used visualization to manifest her role in Steven Spielberg’s film, “The Color Purple.”
She’s also mentioned in an interview for the film, “A Wrinkle in Time,” that she no longer uses vision boards because she has become a super manifester.
Another celebrity who uses the Law of Attraction technique is pop superstar, Lady Gaga. In a 2011 interview, she stated she uses daily affirmations to achieve her career goals.
And another celebrity who believes in vision boards is Katy Perry. In a 2009 interview, Perry shared that she’s been using vision boards to manifest her dreams. She even has a picture of the late singer, Selena, holding a grammy, to help her manifest winning an award. Though Perry hasn’t won a Grammy, she does have 13 Grammy nominations and counting.
Vision boards and visualizing are some of the techniques of the Law of Attraction to manifest your dreams. Whatever ambitions you may have, using a vision board can help you take the necessary steps to achieve your goals.
