Hmm not exactly like that it means my ambition is not money.
I was worried about financial success before but I've realized money is not my ambition and not my goal in life.
it doesn't mean I will be a bum either it merely means money is not my ambition. It means I'm grateful with whatever money I get and not wanting more. Whatever work I do it will not be merely because I'm wanting more money it will simply because either I like the work or because I need the money or both.It doesn't exclude the possibilities that I will be rich or even extremely rich either but it merely means money is not my ambition.
it means it's okay if I didn't end up with a big house with luxury cars or a high position in job. It doesn't exclude those possibilities but they no longer be a part of my dream or ambition.
There's a verse in the bible telling one cannot serve two masters mammon and God(mammon being money). I was always worrying and had ambition to become financially successful that it became a sort of goal to me but not anymore. I've realized chasing after money is just not my calling.
But then you may ask how could one be rich if he doesn't have ambition to accumulate wealth? That's a question which answer I'd like to keep to myself. The poorest works the hardest yet they are still the poorest at most they become mediocre, the very wealthy work less yet they are even becoming even wealthier. Anyway I don't aim becoming wealthy but that doesn't exclude me from the possibility.
Skybird got the most of my point ;D
