Frustrated Ambition

You are ambitious
But success is not going to fall in your lap
You are going to have to earn it
Which is OK
Because success earned is so much sweeter

These challenges that have been put before you
These people who are testing you
These new obstacles that keep appearing at every turn
Are forcing you to grow

The stress you are feeling
Is a type of growing pain

The anger is natural
After all
Growing up is very painful

You know that you are still prone to doing some things
That are making the journey harder than it needs to be
You have always been working on those
So just keep it up

And when you get a moment
Have a laugh or a cry
At the wonder
And absurdity
And beauty
Of it all
