Ambition
Dennis Vogel:
I'm always reminded of this:
Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Ecc 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
I cannot answer but the older I get the more I see the above is true.

i've always had a problem with ambition. never knowing exactly i wanted in that realm. i worked as a single momma for 13 years, but worked where the need was. never from any personal ambition. except for to be able to take good care of my daughter. even after i graduated from high school a bazillion years ago i wasn't sure what i wanted to do. no real ambition. but, i am content now in whatever state i am because i know my Father God is with me every step of the way. however, i do get contentless at times. usually about money, or lack thereof. or medicare. or being on my own now. but that feeling passes. i just stick my nose in God's Word. that is where my try contentment is. in my Lord and Saviour. in God the Father.
good questions largeli.

Ambition can be a good trait or a bad one. Depends on the motivation, on the heart. Good works need to be pursued.
Ecc_9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Ambition as in being the best version of oneself. Realizing and or maximizing ones potential.. not necessarily 'work' related..
