The Effects of Ambition...

Ambition intensifies the mental and emotional phenomena. One of these is an increased sense of desire, and desire often makes the mind unruly. This leads to chases. Excessive chasing produces fear and anxiety.

As a result, the mind becomes frenzied and consumed by desire, leading to a life marked by chaos, strife and inner conflict.

Nature, in its design, did not intend humans to be inherently ambitious. Nature sees its creation as perfect as it is. But desires lead us astray. Often this desire is sought out to fill holes missing in our self-image or to attain fleeting pleasures, which diverges from nature's intent.

Is it possible than to embark on the journey to success without succumbing to strife and turmoil?

The Answer is Yes, It Can.

Firstly, one can begin this journey from a place of genuine inclination rather than mere ambition. The craft pursued out of love rather than just getting ahead. If the inclination feels like a calling or even a holiday, where one's passion for it is so profound that there is a lack of desire to do nothing else but solely the thing itself. In this state, one's unique talents and vision come to the forefront, and the work transcends the confines of "work." Such individuals act as if they are in a possessed-like state into forever expanding this craft.

The work doesn't feel like work.

Ask the great talented musician to work hard and it will feel foreign to them. Because the music is bursting forth effortlessly within the musical genius. Ask the renowned physicists if the hours of study were worth it? They would tell you it was all done with outpouring unbridled enthusiasm. For these individuals, their craft is an uncontrollable outpouring of creativity, love, and the joy of learning.

And because of this, they do not need to follow "positive thinking," or "how to enter flow states," or "how to work hard," or any conventional societal aphorisms. They do all these things effortlessly, without intent. They became one. They just do. They live and breathe it. They are lost in it. The craft will effortlessly gain all the fancy things that come with ambition whilst bypassing all the negative emotions. The fancy car wasn't the reward, instead, the craft itself is the ultimate reward.

Man has several inclinations bubbling inside of him. He does not need to go back to childhood to find the particular love in which he is too old for. He can always connect with something that gives him endless engagement and fulfilment.

Secondly, the pursuit of reward-driven ambition often fixates solely on the endpoint—the reward itself. He is after the gratifying outcome. He is less interested in the actual expedition.

Whereas the - craft committed individual - pursue a Journey of more innocence where the learning is on the cause and effect. This intense conviction allows one energy and focus to study what truly works and what doesn't. Meaning the evaluation of results is in a neutral assessment with no over-emotional investment in the outcome. Quite simply, the examination is the focus. This allows a greater learning, an in-depth understanding of what the results shows and why. Emotionally unattached to outcomes, their efforts is done in spirit of experimentation and exploration.

Freedom of experimentation and exploration is freedom from emotional turmoil or the fear of failure. Given this space, the pursuit becomes a playful endeavour. There is less or next to no sense of failure. There is only a neutral examination to what works and what does not.

If experimentation and exploration become the worship rather than merely hoping to achieve the end reward. He will achieve success. He will reap the reward of his devotion. Like a dedicated scientists who embrace constant experimentation, approach their work with curiosity and enthusiasm.

If man follows his genuine inclination, If all his energy is channelled primarily into experimentation and exploration, success becomes an inevitable by-product. This approach will eventually yield the desired effects, often surpassing those who only want to get ahead. By prioritizing the journey itself over the reward, they will find success while avoiding the tumultuous path that ensnares others.

Success is an odyssey unto itself. It's a voyage into the unknown, unlike anything you'll experience.
