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

Ambition is a quality that is hard to find in people these days. People don't always work as hard as they could to achieve what they want. Being a girl with ambition and big dreams is a great quality. Even if those dreams seem to out of reach, they can be achieved if you really want them to.

Your dreams can be as big as you want them to be. Think big and keep an open mind. There are endless possibilities in this world and nothing is out of reach.

Society tends to outline a woman's life for them. The "traditional" way of doing things is beginning to change slowly but surely. Getting married and having children while putting a career on hold isn't always what women do anymore and that is a great thing.

Be proud of your big dreams and do all you can to make them a reality. Study hard, get involved in college and graduate with a degree you have longed for. Dress up and go impress your boss in your first big job.

Each step along the way to success matters. There will always be people trying to tear you down. People will tell you that your dreams are far too big to become a reality. They will say you aren't smart enough and that you don't have what it takes.

At the end of the day, only you can tell if you have what it takes and it all comes down to how hard you work. If you have the motivation, use it to work as hard as you can. Let your fire shine through and push yourself to your limits. If your dream really is that important to you, nothing will be able to slow you down.

Don't let anyone make you feel like putting your dreams first is a bad thing, because if you want it, that's what matters the most. Men don't get questioned when they put their careers first, so neither should you. Your ambition is a beautiful thing and you should never think any different.

Remember that things won't always come easily. Some days your goals and dreams will seem so impossible, but you shouldn't get discouraged. No dream is impossible if you have the ambition and work ethic to make it happen.

You may feel like you are just a little girl with big dreams, but you are far more than that. You are a woman with ambition and hope and that is the best quality to have. You are capable of anything you put your mind to.

So, never let anyone tell you that your dreams are too far away. Never let them cause you to lose your fire or let your ambition slip away.

Don't let anyone or any idea of how you should be living to change your dreams. You can make them a reality and you will make them a reality as long as you work hard enough.

Keep your mind open and keep letting your ambition shine through.
