Ambition is a gift that pushes us to build, create, provide, and pursue dreams. And, like any gift, it can also work against us if we become so consumed with building a successful life that we stop enjoying what actually matters. The business will always need something. There will always be another milestone, another problem, or another opportunity to chase. Meanwhile, the people we love are getting older, our kids are growing up, and the ordinary everyday moments we were so willing to skip suddenly seem like a precious commodity. Live into your ambition, but don’t confuse achievement with a life well lived. Make room for the people, experiences, and relationships that make all the work worth doing in the first place.
