That also comes from a timid demeanor that I work on daily.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I know there's a balance but I doubt anyone really knows where it is. I have a couple of works of Billy Graham I'd like to read someday. I felt that maybe reading some works of his later in life would be enlightening. A little of that, "Been there done that" thing coming through.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If anyone has a right to be ambitious and forthcoming in his expectations over the years it would be Billy Graham. I'm sure he's had his ups and downs.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Anyway, I wouldn't feel alone in this. Maybe ambition is the wrong word for what you're talking about. Calling, drive, anything like that sounds more fitting.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think the best word is "Passion". Passion comes from God. Love comes from God. The only advice I would feel worthy of giving is to pray unceasingly about it. Make sure your motivation is always towards the Creator.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You're doing great things. Don't forget to enjoy what God is doing through you.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24930067/7676204166063165313/comments/default/6883040373308079649'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24930067/7676204166063165313/comments/default/6883040373308079649'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.jason305.com/2008/09/holy-ambition.html?showComment=1221858060000#c6883040373308079649' title=''/><author><name>Sean</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14526630150070535121</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://www.tonymendozaart.net/images/Praise-God.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.jason305.com/2008/09/holy-ambition.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24930067.post-7676204166063165313' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24930067/posts/default/7676204166063165313' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-397379612'/></entry></feed>
