Different between purpose and future ambition 🤭
<h1>breakdown between *purpose* and *future ambition*:</h1><h2>*1. Definition:*</h2><p><br/></p><h3>- *Purpose*:  </h3><p>  This is the *core reason* for your existence. It’s what gives your life meaning and direction. Purpose is usually connected to your values, passions, or what impact you want to have in the world.  </p><p>  *E.g.*, “I want to inspire people,” “I want to bring peace,” “I feel called to heal others.”</p><p><br/></p><h4>- *Future Ambition*:  </h4><p>  This is a *specific goal* or dream you’re striving to achieve in the future—often career-related. Ambitions are usually more measurable and practical.  </p><p>  *E.g.*, “I want to be a lawyer,” “I want to own a business,” “I want to win a Grammy.”</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>*2. Scope:*</p><p><br/></p><p>- *Purpose* is broad, deep, and often lifelong.</p><p>- *Ambition* is focused, short or long term, and can change based on circumstances.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>*3. Source of Motivation:*</p><p><br/></p><p>- *Purpose* comes from within—it’s spiritual or emotional.</p><p>- *Ambition* can be internal or external—it may come from desires, competition, or expectations.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>*4. Can You Have One Without the Other?*</p><p><br/></p><p>- Yes.  </p><p>  You can have *ambition* without understanding your *purpose*—but you might feel empty after achieving it.  </p><p>  You can live with *purpose* without specific ambitions—and still feel deeply fulfilled.</p><p><br/></p><p>*5. Changes Over Time:*</p><p><br/></p><p>- *Purpose* usually stays constant.  </p><p>- *Ambition* can evolve as you grow, learn, or face different life phases.</p><p><br/></p><p>---</p><p><br/></p><p>*Summary Example:*</p><p><br/></p><p>- *Purpose*: “I want to uplift others through creativity.”  </p><p>- *Ambition*: “I want to become a successful filmmaker.”</p><p><br/></p><p>One flows from the other. Your *purpose* drives your *ambition* when they’re aligned.</p>
