Non-Ambition

I love synchronicity. And I love paradox. I have been thinking about my work - questions like:

• How much self-promotion do I have to do to reach people, how much I can leave to a greater power?
• Where does effort fit in? How far do I have to move out of my comfort zone? 
• Where is my work headed? 
• What am I leaving behind?

Ambition is so deeply revered in this world. Strive to be all you can be. But I already am all I can be. Or I'd be something else. Wouldn't I?

Being non-ambitious isn't about not having goals or dreams or shunning hard work. I think I needed to remember that it's mostly about:

• Accepting ourselves and our situation as it is. 
• Letting the energy that informs our lives lead the way. Letting life drive. There's more than enough energy behind that to take us anywhere.
• Confidence, adaptability, trust in ourselves, our choices, our intuition.
• Trust that we are already where we are supposed to be.

Then I got a magazine in yesterday's mail that has "non-ambition" as it's theme. Very timely. I wonder what the editors of Tricycle have come up with?

UPDATE: It didn't have much on non-ambition but it did have a lot of other good stuff.
