Function of Ambition

[grafs50]

What would you say the proper function of ambition would be? I’ve noticed that I have quite a bit of it and I could use a worthwhile way to use it.

Hi grafs50

Ambition’s role in our lives is always as what other powers and aspects of us are: for the greater glory and pleasure of God.

Ambition correctly used in this manner is the virtue of magnanimity. Here is an excellent collection of articles on it: appleseeds.org/PDF%20Files/Magnanimity_Virtue.pdf

Thanks. This really helped. I had no idea there was a virtue of magnanimity!

Lord, may Grafs ambition be to live and die a saint. Amen.
