Have you ever spent a significant amount of time with the unambitious? They suck the life out of you.
Coming from a burnt out, over ambitious person -- I'm looking up at all my bosses and they all look stressed as fuck. I'm questioning if that's where I'm headed, and if so why?
Ambition is not the same as over-worked and it's certainly a different set of behaviors than what leads you to be stressed all the time. You can be very ambitious and still have a work/life balance. I'm in that position now. I bust my ass at work and yes, I'm tired when I get home at 8pm, but I force myself to work out, read, do something I enjoy instead of jumping in bed and browsing my phone. I also have more time outside of work at my current job so I've been forcing myself to make plans during the week as well.
if you look to your bosses for future projections of self, you are doing it wrong
what's the point of pushing papers? you are dedicating at least 8 hours a day doing a series of tasks, isn't it in your interest to grow and perform at your optimal level? optimal might mean different things to different people, yet ambition is likely to be shared sentiment. to avoid burn out take time off every 3-6 years - month or more is ideal.
In 20, 30, or 50 years do you really want to be doing the same thing you are doing now?
What's the alternative?
Be ambitious in something you actually enjoy. If you're just ok with your job but love something else in your life, put energy into that instead.
