How do your deal with the never ending ambition that gnaws at you day and night unless you somehow advance your status position?

Ambition and insecurity are two sides of the same coin, imo. These books helped me alot personally:<p>&quot;Freedom from the known&quot; - Jiddu Krishnamurti and &quot;Power of Now&quot; - Eckhart Tolle<p>I think it&#x27;s healthy to pursue goals and improve your life situation. But don&#x27;t let it become your identity or expect lasting peace from it.
