How Ambitious Can You Be & How Can It Affect You?

When do you feel it is enough? When can you ever be satisfied with your financial goal and ambition? We are easily carried away with ambitions to chase money or financial freedom to the extent we lose ourselves. I haven’t seen a successful ambitious person who is truly happy with their accomplishments, its always the need to want more. The anxiety that constantly comes with he feeling of always wanting more is the drive that lets us accomplish our goals but at the same time its what kills us slowly without knowing. No one wants to live with the constant fear of the unknown, not knowing when the wrong step will set them back to zero.

This is why most times ambitious people tend to deprive theirselves the pleasurable feeling of enjoying tier wealth and success. They feel they haven’t done enough to deserve enjoyment, but the ironic part is that they dont mind spending for their loved ones’ enjoyment. We have a lot of people who are successful and unhappy, because they are chasing what they can’t have. Hence, the reason some people say money can’t buy happiness. Being ambitious most times means that you dont mind sacrificing lots of pleasurable things like sleep, vacation, buying yourself stuff because you either dont have the time to do that or you keep spending your money on your ambition. All these are psychologically based and it can be controlled when you are ready to control it.

Most people who are ambitious know this, some are in denial and some are not in denial, some try to work on it through therapy while some work on it just on their own. But to work on it you have to recognise the problem first, which is recognising that you are an over ambitious person who can’t control their ambition and its beginning to affect your life in some negative ways. As a crypto investor who gets overwhelmed with crypto volatilities, especially when the market is down and you can’t control it, but you constantly see the need to work way harder to make up for the lost value of your portfolio because of the market’s bearish condition. Look for an escape to rest and rejuvenate yourself. Take out some money and spend on yourself. Buy that expensive wristwatch you have always wanted. Take that trip you have always wanted to take. You deserve it, you worked for it.
