Driven by blind ambition, you shoot for the stars fueled to become the top dog by climbing the professional ladder or the social ladder. You are designed to succeed by any means necessary with the pressure to forge alliances and contracts to carpe diem to get to next rung on the ladder. There is a tendency to bite off more that you chew, not willing to forgo an opportunity. Nevertheless, you are not afraid to swim in the shark tank. If you feel like you are drowning at sea, a glimpse of sunlight and being desperate to breathe catapults you to the surface pushing yourself to survive and thrive. You’re a mover and a shaker set into almost constant motion, pressured by the blind ambition to experience your goal of freedom. Nothing will stand in your way and you are capable of defying the odds.
Interestingly enough, this pressure to rise up is not an individual energy. This is a supportive energy. Sure you’re the one that’s doing the thing, but you do it so everyone can eat better. If your actions tend to be selfish, you aren’t using this gift as designed to get the most benefit from it. This is the ambition to seek prosperity supporting the team with mutually beneficial influence and drive ensuring achievement for all.
This trait is located in the root energy center that houses Drive/Stamina functions. This function acts as both a motor and pressure that is responsible for physical pressure, fuel, stress, adrenaline and even worry. It is where the pressure “to do” stems from. Those with traits activated here are designed to withstand and transform the momentum from adrenal stress that the body generates to take action in life.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT:
Trait 54 empowers your ego to hustle and grind, providing the fuel your achievements as an entrepreneur or as that employee who started from the bottom and rose up the company ranks. Leverage this Trait by feeling the fear and doing it anyways. Don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis worrying about if you can be the best or not. Comparing yourself to others is a sure way to slip up and lose your flair. Trust that what you seek is seeking you too while being patient waiting for the correct timing and invitation to the rise to the occasion.
Ask yourself:
How do I align my personal ambitions with my professional contributions?
What do I need to sacrifice or relinquish in the short term to benefit myself and my team in the long term?
Am I willing to discipline and develop myself professionally by embracing new disciplines or challenges that may stretch me and prepare me for future opportunities?
