True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God. ~ Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, Alcoholics Anonymous, pages 124-125Walk humbly with your God —
that's one of the things God requires
along with doing justice, loving kindness.
Living usefully can be doing justice.
Does true ambition mean loving kindness?
It does, when ambition's definition
derives from seeking recovery,
not from craving power, glory.
So true ambition equals
achieving a life well lived.
