Ambition is perfectly healthy. But when it’s based solely on seeking admiration, it can become detrimental . Some people build their lives around displays of affection, requests for recognition, “likes,” and acceptance. They seek success through notoriety, not personal fulfillment. This constant need for recognition often makes us unhappy, unstable, and even envious. It’s better to surround yourself with people who forge their own success with passion and sincerity, rather than seeking applause.
Choosing among the people around you also means choosing within yourself.
