Aspiration vs. Ambition

I've been thinking a lot about aspiration versus ambition. I aspire to be a caring human. I aspire to treat myself Fair. On the other hand, ambition is something different. It's a hunger that burns deep inside of my gut often taking me deep into overdrive. My ambition keeps me up late at night fearing I might miss an opportunity. Aspiring to work towards my goals is helpful but often I don't take that first leap. Ambition is a great driver but when left unchecked, blind ambition can take over leading to too many missteps. I think aspiration and ambition combined can create perfect synergy in pursuit of one's aim.
