"I've always been ambitious, but I am still learning to accept myself."
Simplified meaning
Sometimes people have big dreams and a strong desire to achieve more in life. Yet, alongside their drive to reach goals, they may struggle with feeling content or happy with who they are. Imagine a student who works hard to get the best grades because they want to become a doctor. While they are very focused on their goal, they might also feel insecure about their abilities or think they’re not good enough. It’s like climbing a mountain and not enjoying the beautiful view because you’re constantly thinking about reaching the top. It's important to balance your ambitions with self-acceptance, recognizing and appreciating your own value and progress along the way. By doing this, you can stay motivated without neglecting your well-being and happiness.
