Ambition & Meaning

Can I keep wanting more without letting the result decide who I am?

Ambition does not disappear when conditions become uncertain. It becomes anxious. Comparison gets crueler when the person you compare yourself to may have used a tool you did not.This territory holds ambition and meaning in the same frame, because most people carry both, and most advice asks them to pick one.
