12 motivational quotes to increase your ambition, drive, and desire

Everybody has a dream, but turning ambition into reality means working for it and towards it. However, it’s not so easy. It takes more than just having an ambition. It takes hard work, determination, courage, perseverance, ability to handle failures, and the deepest desire to achieve one's dreams to actually get there. 

Some fail at achieving their dreams because they couldn’t follow it up with the work that it took. There can be many reasons, but one of the things that stop many from achieving their goals is the fear of failure — they fear so much that they don’t even take the first step. Taking the first step is not easy, and it requires all the courage and motivation to chase down your dreams.

Here is your dose of motivation to follow your ambitions, increase your drive, and desire to follow through on your dreams from some very successful and accomplished women.
