Ambition

 

 

To be ambitious is a course as a form of self-interest, self enclosure, and therefore it breeds mental mediocrity.

To live in an ambitious world without being ambitious means to love something for itself without seeking a reward or to be somebody.

To do something which one really loves awakens the spirit of greatness which never seeks approbation or recompense, which does things for their own sake and one is not caught in the influence of the mental maze.

The worship of success that gets exploited by the media and encouraging ambition and competitiveness is breeding mediocrity of mind and false beliefs.

The gentle spirit with great inward strength has no anxiety that paralyses activities and all virtues will dissolve in the breath of purity.

This demands great intelligence, which means, really, a mind that does not think according to any particular pattern, but is free in itself and is therefore capable of seeing what is true and that which is false.

If one will not rise above the things of this world, they will rise above you. We all have experienced that to much enthusiasm pushes desired object of attainment farther away, or off all together.

Worries consume the spirit of action for the load of responsibilities weighs upon the soul more than the strain of work.

As long one sees the right side of once own mind and the wrong side of others, one is observing facts in action and not the truth in realization. Otherwise whatever one does or speaks about, is denying the reality.

True righteousness is the natural outcome of right thinking.

Every action therefore that defeats its own object is wrong.

The realization of truth is the greatest luxury.

To know the universe is ambitious, the desire to understand the heart is genius.  Being great, as a part of the whole is beyond the entirely useless claim to fame.

Or as Oscar Wilde stated, ambition is the last refuge of the failure.
