The Power of Ambition

Every morning when I wake up,

I wake up looking forward to what I can accomplish

Developing positive goals,

Realizing the power of ambition

The power of change,

Life consists of positive transformation.

Nothing is final unless you let it be

Open your eyes to a broad pathway

A journey that will lead you to a fulfilling future.

You choose the path you take

You prepare the draft of your life

You have control

You have the ability to plan your destiny,

Not everything in your life is planned

Every day is a new day

You are capable and worthy of becoming who you want to be

Never give up

Have determination

Follow your heart and all your dreams will come true.

This poem relates in some part to "Julius Caesar" play. The play talks about Julius Caesar getting crowned and his ambition makes him do whatever he can do to accomplish his goal. The play shows how each one of the characters starts to get consumed by ambition. As we read, we could notice how Cassius tries to do everything to get Brutus into the conspiracy, and his ambition to accomplish his goal makes Cassius talk bad about Caesar. At the end of Act I Cassius also sends Casca to leave a letter in Brutus' house. This relates to lines 4-9 and 10-16.

In Act II Caesar's ambition for the crown makes him think that everyone in the streets fear him and he says that he isn't afraid of death "What can be avoided whose end is purposed by the mighty gods? Yet Caesar shall go forth, for these predictions are to the world in general as to Caesar." There is also another quote that says "The gods do this in shame of cowardice. Caesar should be a beast without a heart if he should stay at home today for fear. No, Caesar shall not. Danger knows full well that Caesar is more dangerous that he. We are two lions litter'd in one day, and I the elder and more terrible. And Caesar shall go forth." This quotes are also related with the lines 4-9 from the poem. Most of Caesar's life in the play fits in each one of the lines from the poem, but his ambition for power will take him to a bad end.
