Contemplation

If you knew that you couldn't ever fail, would you strive towards more then you do now? You could be admired by all and have everything you have ever dreamed of. All you would have to do is try and it would come your way.

Sadly, the world isn't like that, but we all still possess some degree of ambition. Most of us have a instinctive urge to push for more, to prove something or to be something. We might spend our whole lives unhappy just because we are determined to conquer one goal. There are only two questions to ask yourself. Will your ambition be the cause of your downfall? Is it worth it? If you could accomplish one thing in this life time, would this goal be it?

Goodluck.

Synonyms:

Driven, aspiring, determined, power-loving

Contast:

Content, fulfilled, inert, lazy, satisfied
