Happy the Ambitious
Welcoming God's Ambition for UsBy Thomas Joachim
Length2h 12m
About this audiobook
Can ambition be a good thing?
This word often evokes behavior that displays pride, vanity, and disunity.
Author Thomas Joachim invites us to a holy ambition based in the Scriptures and the writings of the Saints: an ambition not for worldly honors, but the glory of God.
He summarizes like this: “We must reverse the usual perspective of our life. We can no longer seek to fulfill our ambitions; we must seek to welcome God’s ambitions for us. Fulfilling our own dreams is not of primary importance, but rather that God’s dreams for us are made real in our lives.”
Seen this way, ambition becomes an essential virtue for sanctity, and a liberating path for the great of heart. Discover the meaning of your God-given talents and accept our Lord’s invitation implicit in his words: “Friend, go up higher” (Lk 14:10).
