I have no interest anymore in ambition. I even dislike the word.
On a podcast I recently listened to the question was posed: “Can ambition be virtuous?”
And I agree with the host guiding the conversation: it can’t. Ambition is inherently selfish.
Ambition requires you to have unhealthy priorities. I... See more

My experience as an eldest daughter of first-gen immigrants
The more I heal, the more audacious I become. The more I dare to be who I really am. The more comfortable and free I feel to speak and live the truth I know in this moment. Audacity lets me move with faith at my own pace, not at the dictation of ambition. The more I heal, the deeper my courage to do what others won’t, to stand alone in my... See more

Now I realize that I admire a good heart more than anything else.
