Ambition is an admirable quality—but it can also be a source of stress, anxiety and burnout. If you're trying to take your career, personal life or business to the next level, here are six tips for finding the balance between ambition and self-care:

Start with a clear goal


Your goals should be specific and written down. If you know what you want to achieve, it's much easier to stay focused on getting there.

Be realistic about what you can achieve. Don't set yourself up for failure by setting impossible goals that are too ambitious or too vague. If your goal is "to become a billionaire," for example, it may seem like an exciting and inspirational thing to write down on paper—but how are you going to reach that? Are there steps between where you're now and being a billionaire? What steps do they involve? How long will those steps take in total? Do those parts of achieving success seem achievable within the time frame you've established (e.g., 10 years)? Be honest with yourself about these questions so that when it comes time for taking action on your plan, it'll actually be possible!


Identify your strengths

  • Identify your strengths.
  • Use your strengths to achieve your goals.
  • Focus on what you're doing well, not what you're doing wrong.
  • Be proud of yourself for the progress you've made, rather than beating yourself up over things that went wrong or could have been better.

Use your strengths to achieve your goal


Here are some ways you can use your strengths to achieve your goal:

  • Use your creativity and imagination to come up with solutions.
  • Get others involved by asking for their input and help.
  • Ask people who are experts in the area you want to learn more about how they achieved their goals.

Focus on what you're doing well, not what you're doing wrong


When you're working on a project, it's easy to focus on what you're doing wrong. You may be experiencing setbacks or feel like your progress is moving too slowly. It's natural to start thinking about all the ways in which you could do better—more hours of work, an extra redesign, or a more thorough outline of your proposal. But if we spend too much time focusing on our shortcomings as opposed to our successes, we can become discouraged and eventually give up altogether.

Be proud of yourself for the progress you've made, rather than beating yourself up over things that went wrong or could have been better


It's important to be proud of yourself for the progress you've made, rather than beating yourself up over things that went wrong or could have been better.

Instead of focusing on what didn't go well, focus instead on the good things that did happen as a result of your ambition—and then use them as motivation to do even better next time!

Work with people who support you


You're not alone. In fact, one of the biggest challenges that ambitious people face is feeling as if they are in it alone and don't know what to do next—and that's where support comes in.

When you are working on something big or trying something new, having a support network can be immeasurably helpful. That's because a support network consists of people who understand what you are going through and will listen to your frustrations while also providing encouragement throughout the process. If you don't have anyone in your life right now who fits this description, try finding someone else who has gone through what you're experiencing and talk with them about their experiences so that they can offer advice based on their own personal experience (or even just lend an ear).

Understand that it's not just about what you accomplish but how you feel about the process and the outcome


It's not just about the end result.

The best way to get the most out of your ambition is to enjoy the process as well as the outcome. If you don't enjoy getting up in the morning, working hard, and making difficult decisions, then why would you want to do it? It's important to appreciate how far you've come, but it's also important that what motivates you is not just financial gain or praise from others; otherwise, if those things don't happen (or if they're delayed), then why bother? A good life isn't just about making money or achieving fame—it should also be about feeling great about who we are and what we've done with our time on earth.

Print out your goals and post them somewhere where you can see them easily every day

  • Print out your goals and post them somewhere where you can see them easily every day. If you have trouble remembering what to do, or if you feel like nothing is getting done, it's time for a little visual reminder. You might even want to print out multiple copies of your goals so that they're easy to read from across the room or in low lighting conditions!
  • Share your goals with friends and family members. Having someone who supports you is important for success when reaching for ambitious goals like these, so it's important that everyone knows what's going on with each other's dreams and aspirations. This can also help keep people accountable, which helps prevent procrastination later on down the road

You can be ambitious and also kind to yourself at the same time


Most of us are ambitious, but we often forget to be kind to ourselves. We want so badly to succeed that we don’t take care of ourselves and our emotions along the way. The result? We start beating ourselves up in the pursuit of success and end up feeling exhausted by the time we reach it. But here's what you need to know: You can be ambitious and also kind to yourself at the same time!

So how do you do this? Don't be too hard on yourself when things aren't going according to plan—and also don't be too easy on yourself when success presents itself in an unexpected way or from an unexpected source. Don't criticize yourself harshly for mistakes made along the way; instead, figure out how best your actions can benefit you moving forward (even if that means admitting a mistake). And finally, don’t beat yourself up over every little thing; just try your best each day with focus on achieving said goal(s) rather than focusing solely on how far away those goals still may seem from being achieved—and remember that progress is progress!


We hope that this post has inspired you to be a little more ambitious and a lot more kind to yourself. We know from experience that it can be hard to do both things, but we also know that the more you practice them, the easier it will get. Remember: ambition isn't something that only special people have—it's an attitude that anyone can adopt, no matter where they're at in their lives or what their goals are!
