There is nothing wrong with ambition. There is nothing wrong with wanting success or financial stability.
But if that is all that is driving you, it can start to feel hollow. What happens when you hit the target and still feel unfulfilled? What about the next target after that?
We reach a point in life when we desire to recalibrate, realign with a bigger story, and use our skills and energy in a way that leaves a mark we are proud of. That bigger “why” does not make success less critical. It just makes it more meaningful.
