If ambition is because a person wants to create a 'gift' within their work, that they can give to the world, that your work, hopefully will be what you feel passionate about, what you're good at, and what you can do, as a gift to the world. Then the world rewards you with financial consideration, or with a sense of well-being, or somehow that sense of purpose makes you feel fulfilled. Again, that's another element which can help you feel happy. So, if ambition however, is used as a way to acquire something, and if it's about comparing yourself to others, or stepping on somebody to get ahead, wherever that is, it doesn't actually wind up getting you to a place where you feel like you're ahead of anything, because there's always somebody better at something, and so there is no finish line, and no satisfaction correspondingly.
