Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Not as successful as you would like to be?

What prevents you from growing, what prevents you from becoming all you can become?

Ambition is what makes people grow, ambition is what makes people accomplish things that are not easy.

But ambition is kept in check… as I said above, by desire that everybody says is good for you… Bah humbug.

Let’s see what the words actually mean before we continue.

High desire… it must be a good thing, right?

Desire vs ambition. What is the difference? Which one should you have?

Most movies’ ending is clear… this is probably only the second movie that left me with questions: WTF just happened? The other movie is the 2002 Chinese movie “Together”.
