Ambition is a beautiful energy when used with awareness. It can be destructive when it’s pushing you, instead of inspiring.
As with anything, if you lean into too much of something, it has the potential to create an imbalance.
Your heart is the organ that sustains life. It continuously works, pumping blood through your body. You would say it NEVER stops.
BUT, it does. It knows the value of rest. Therefore the heart RESTS between beats. Knowing the value of the balance between working and resting. By allowing both, life is sustained. Take away either and life ends.
Therefore ambition is valuable; but not at the cost of your BEing.
Working so hard to aspire to more than it costs you your experience of living life. Never having time to rest. You become resentful when people don’t recognize your value, when you work so hard, and give so much.
It’s not people that need to value you or your creation. You need to value the creation of WHO YOU ARE. When we don’t, we believe that our value is outside of us. In your reputation, or in things you need to acquire.
Such a simple analogy. Yet a powerful reminder of the wisdom the heart holds. Not just as a main organ, but as a key reminder of the BALANCE of life.
May this insight enrich you in a way that allows you to strive, but not to the cost of sacrificing your BEingness.
Love and blessings
