"The reason why ambition feels like a dirty word is because it’s often mistaken for greed.
There’s always a point in which one’s desire to self-actualize (ambition) morphs into the desire to externally control (greed)."

"William Blake once said, “You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.” You have to have your Worlds of Enough extend upward to realize this trend needs to be corrected. A minimalist is nothing more than a maximalist recovering from this epiphany."
"we can map the self-awareness required to course correct when recognizing that greed has taken over:"
"wisdom is the ability to bring Enough within a narrow range. It’s to use the tool of self-awareness to make the upward and corrective trends less dramatic, and to have them converge toward equanimity whenever possible"
"You must self-adjust your definition of enough, instead of having it forced upon you. Wisdom is in self-correction, while misery is in coerced correction. Identity change is best manifested through small, intentioned steps, and not through a massive, surprising event."
