Ambitions and ideals seem to push and pull, exhilarate or depress our emotional feelings. If our goals are beyond our reach, they will devastate future potential, future dreams.

Our compulsion to fulfill every expectation is the road to believing we are defective. Have you planted a standard that is beyond striving, beyond achievement, and beyond hope? If so, then you have accepted deadly ambitions and ideals. They sap your creativity, passion, sense of play, life. They destroy respect for your unique self. Where perfection goes, your spirit dies, piece by piece.
