I think they’re tough to distinguish b/c we often find that ambitious individuals are usually unsatisfied with their current situation, which feeds their ambition.

Ahh so that's why I'm always unsatisfied haha.
I struggle with this as well. Sometimes I’m content with living an “average lifestyle” and understand why the Stoics say that by eliminating desire you eliminate suffering. But then I also want to be rich and get a Lamborghini one day and a nice place to live and be able to travel the world. Short answer is I don’t know how to reconcile the two yet. Let me know if you find out hahah.
^ me... 😔
I think you have to examine your thoughts about your current state. There’s a difference in “this is okay but I want more” vs “my current situation sucks and I’d be a loser to stay like this forever”. Being ambitious is ok but I hope I’m always content with what I have and where I’m at.
