What began as a simple question last month with Howard Jameson renowned psychic —“Is ambition inherited, inspired, or a calling?”—opened up a deeper conversation about how we understand our place in the world.
In last months conversation with Howard Jameson renowned psychic, we explored the connection between birth charts, purpose, ambition, and the spiritual journey of modern life. We explored how the precision of Gregorian astrology and the spiritual archetypes of the Mayan calendar reveal our potentially predetermined life paths and how to engage with them mindfully.
What stood out was this: ambition today is shifting.
For older generations, ambition often meant following in our parents’ footsteps or seeking visible, material success. But today, many of us—and especially younger generations—are seeking something deeper: work that feels meaningful, spiritual, and aligned with personal values.
This isn’t just about switching careers. It’s about awakening.
Some are discovering callings later in life—after trauma, travel, or quiet reflection.
Others are using their wealth or success to give back: building healing sanctuaries, supporting charities, or finding peace in service.
There’s a growing sense that ambition of the mind must meet the purpose of the heart—and that our most fulfilling work connects us to something greater than ourselves.
Whether through the Japanese principle of Ikigai—balancing what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for—or through modern spiritual practices like laughter therapy or healing circles, we are changing how we view work and ambition.
Ambition as a reflection
- Ambition may begin in the mind, but purpose lives in the heart.
- True success is less about what we accumulate and more about what we awaken.
- Listening inward can reveal a calling that transcends generations, professions, and expectations.
Have you ever felt the difference between ambition and calling?
What does meaningful work look like for you—today, not just 10 years ago?
This is the season to redefine ambition. To tune into that quiet voice of purpose. And to trust that fulfillment comes when we follow not just the goals we set—but the path we’re here to walk.
