Ambition

Marcus Aurelius says this about “Ambition”:

• Ambition means tying your well-being to what other people say or do… sanity means tying it to your own actions

Most Ambitious people are really just Elitists.

Is my ambition driven by Ego?

• Ambition should be driven by a strong sense of Purpose, instead of the ego.

Quote

Reminds me of the phrase: It is sad to get to the top of your ladder only to realize it was leaning against the wrong wall.

You should have high ambition, low expectations.

• Expectations

For some, my ambition inspires them. For others, my ambition intimidates them.
