as·pire
/əˈspī(ə)r/
verb
1.
direct one's hopes or ambitions towards achieving something.
If you have ambitions towards achieving something, aspire greatly. Start by making a personal commitment to doing the best you can – that won’t always be easy, but the results will be worth it. I’ve watched tens of thousands of people start with that in mind on their first day of employment and never let up. They get what they want because they stay focused, continuously learning to be better and more effective, and never settling for less than stellar effort. A first-in-her-family college grad who went on to become an employee of the year; an ex-offender who earned and made the most of his second chance became a manager, homeowner, and wonderful father; a housekeeping attendant leveraged his multi-lingual skills to become a popular and effective casino marketing executive; a landscaper who was dedicate to learning horticultural skills went on to lead her department and then start her own successful company; and the list goes on and on. These and many others aspired greatly and knew that anything less than a commitment to excellence would become an acceptance of mediocrity. Set lofty objectives and don’t give up until you achieve them. That’s the best way to manage your ambitions towards achieving something today.
