ambition

The popular narrative of ambition defines it as coming from a place of scarcity, and that leads to guilt over seeming thankless or wanting more than we have. True ambition ideally comes from a place of abundance, which means being ambitious in ‘doing’ and ‘being’ but being content in ‘having’.

It's a common misconception that burnouts come from hard work.  Burnout comes from a felt loss of control and/or impact.  Remember that you can burn out employees (or yourself) with little to no work.
