A M B I T I O N S


There is no limit to ambition. There are necessary and unnecessary ambitions.
Everybody has these two types of ambitions. Necessary ambitions are useful for life. These ambitions when achieved are fully enjoyed by us; whereas the unnecessary ambitions such as having too much or too many are not useful because we can not enjoy fully those physically or mentally.

Therefore, a limit to ambitions is essential. Ambitious people accumulate too much wealth in terms of money and property, which are more than the optimum one needs. But man’s ambition does not stop at optimum level because it is the human nature. When we begin our actual family life, we start with great ambitions. Once they are met, one starts thinking – then what?

That is the time man thinks of the necessary and unnecessary ambitions. Spirituality enters his or her mind. Start thinking about life itself. Some good people share or spare their wealth with those people who are unfortunate, disabled, old aged and poor. Those who do not think about others keep their wealth with them. When they die, their progenies with or without litigation share this wealth. We do see such dramas in our day-to-day life.

Ambitions are the birth right of everybody. But optimum ambition for better life would be great. Let us aim at it.

Been reading through your blog this morning.

I felt like leaving a link to a friend's blog who also lives in India, but now isn't a good time to visit her as she just lost her close aunt last night and her posts recently haven't been the usual ones.

Perhaps some other time.

God bless.
