I’d start with my usual apology about the lack of blogs recently, but I think everyone’s sick and tired of that. Let’s face it, life is busy, very busy, and my blogs are less frequent.
So skipping that (sort of), onto my main reason for actually sitting down to write a blog. I’ve been thinking a lot about ambition recently. A rambly waffly blog about to follow.
Ambition is a good thing. It drives people, it prevents people from becoming apathetic an pushes people through harder times and over obstacles. However I’m not always sure ambition is a good thing. Maybe it’s possible to have too much ambition?
I actually wouldn’t label myself as ambitious; I’m very easily content and don’t feel the need to constantly better myself. Maybe I’m not particularly driven or maybe this stems from years of having to re-adjust my goalposts as my health declined – I’m not sure – but I get quite comfortable and don’t often strive for change in my own life (although in external issues I am passionate about it’s an entirely different story but that’s another blog…)
Mind you, if I had no ambition at all, I wouldn’t be where I am today; a graduate with a multi-faceted job and chairman of a charity, so maybe I am quite driven but only to a certain extent?
