Ambition
Merriam-Webster:
A strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.
Quintessential Voyage
A willingness to sacrifice frivolous freedoms and sweet sins in order to pursue a goal or task so that you may achieve the objective.
Sacrifices for your passion or your goals is not always a bad thing. There are times when you give up freedoms to pursue something better in knowing you can enjoy the fruits of your labor in time.
Do not sacrifice it all. There is a balance in life. Do not burn bridges, build wonders. Do not live on an island, live with loved ones. Ambition is about the fire that burns within. Utilize that fire to fuel your uphill journey, and display that fire to allow others to feel its warmth and find their own.
You can give up some liberties and joys for temporary time periods, but you must also find time to reward yourself for what you have already done. You must also work. Without work there is no reward. You do not deserve anything, you prove your worth and earn your keep.
I recently posted a picture on my Instagram, it talks about the costs of ambition. Listing several things that I agree with and some others that I don't agree with. The costs include long days, lots of associates/few friends, people lacking the ability to understand, being single, and the fact that nobody wants to see you surpass them so they'll only help you to a part. I currently lack much free time for anything beyond what helps me grow and enhance, for that reason I rarely hangout with my friends and I hardly go on dates. It's just how it goes... The true friends will be there the day you win and they'll answer the day you fall.
