Which one should come first? Love or Ambition?

Come to think of it. Hard, isn’t it? These two words may have different meanings literally but they are somehow interrelated. Why? It is because both of them when attained can lead a person to happiness and if unachieved can also bring about depression and frustration.

Many people say, “Love is a many splendoured thing.” Yes, it is true. Imagine life without Love. Can anyone in this world survive? How dull, worthless and barren our lives would be! Love gives us unequalled joy and true meaning to our lives. Perhaps Love is the very reason for living. However, a challenging part of which includes obstacles, struggles, heartaches and most of all, sacrifices. Thus, Love requires time, effort, patience and a brave heart to conquer all these. After all when Love triumphs immeasurable Happiness will follow through.

On the other hand, Ambition plays a very vital role in our lives. It plays as a guide in life’s quest and shows the paths that we should take day after day. It gives direction to our lives. Moreover, it could also lead us to self-fulfillment. What is life without an ambition? Pointless, useless and meaningless it’ll certainly be. Ambition takes a big part on the quest for survival. And in the world today, people can’t survive with Love alone. Practically speaking, Love alone cannot provide the primary and most important demands in the heirarchy of necessity, the physiologic needs. It does not belong to that level of human needs either. Nonetheless, when Love is no longer enough Ambition takes its place.

But what if you get caught between Love and Ambition? Which one would you choose first? Love gratification or Ambition fulfillment? It’s hard to choose, right? But we cannot deny the fact that it is much harder and so much unrealistic to pursue both of it at the same time. Indeed, that would be the dumbest choice. Wise men say, “You cannot serve two masters at the same time.” Hence, you should decide what really needs to be satisfied primarily and what should be set aside as for the moment. Prioritization must be the first step.
