In pursuit of the American Dream

Ambition can be both a blessing and a curse
It drives us to keep pushing ourselves
To not let ourselves stagnate or wither
To see the world, as limited as our view of it may be, and say 'this is not enough'

But the source of ambition can rot the foundation of one's character
When seeded in the pursuit of fame, we tend to lose sight of what makes us humble
When seeded in the pursuit of riches, we tend to lose sight of what makes things right
When seeded in the pursuit of sex, we tend to lose sight of the people that matter the most

Ambition should be fueled by life. A desire to see the things life has to offer. To pursue that which makes us happy, that makes those around us happy too.

Ambition should be the drive to do the things we want, not a means to get the things we want.
