Balancing ambition and contentment

[eLdavis]

A lot of people believe those who are ambitious are usually not content with what they have, is it actually possible to be have contentment and still be ambitious at the same time? How do you think one can achieve this.

It is through our ambition that we can have the strength to pursue it, come what may. Contentment follows once goals are achieved.

Yes but there is a very thin line between ambition and contentment, when a person is ambitious, people often see them are being too greedy.

That is case to case. Having an ambition doesn't mean you can achieve it realistically. An ambition could be a springboard for someone wanting to change the version of himself. Not all ambitions could be attained to. My ambition was to become a lawyer but I landed in a different fields.

I believe it is possible to be both ambitious and content at the same time. Ambition does not have to exclude contentment. Rather, it can mean that you continuously pursue your goals in life while still finding satisfaction in what you have. This balance allows you to provide for yourself and others.
