If we do activate our natural human ambition, we also suffer from discontent, though this is discontent on a higher level. We are hard-wired to achieve. The good news is that ambition in the small things not only satisfies us for the moment, but spurs us on to ambition in the larger things. If you can make a determined effort to fit into a certain pair of jeans, it becomes that much easier to fit into a new career. If you can finally get around to cleaning out your filing cabinet, you might suddenly discover you have the energy and insight to move your life into an entirely new direction.
Ambition breeds ambition.
Success breeds success. Only by constantly challenging ourselves in areas large and small do we reach a state where we can call ourselves active humans. Elliot Essman, Editor Sign the Guestbook to subscribe. Past issue list and links. Building Yourself Home Page.
