Are you an ambitious youth? If you are, there is absolutely nothing wrong with such aspiration for something big or bigger, or trying to better one's living condition. True, any focussed youths no doubt have good prospects for the future and work hard to achieve their dreams. In fact, ambition is said to be a driving force for hard work.
However, trying to improve one's present state of life while at the same time trying to live within one's means is quite different from being overly ambitious and discontent. While the former is a healthy quest for improved quality of life, the latter is however, damaging to health and can lead to frustration, covetousness, greed, jealousy and envy - poisonous traits that are detrimental and energy-sapping.
As a youth, while still living with and depending on your parents for support, it's therefore imperative that you learn to be content with what they honestly can provide for you at the moment. Try not to be envious or covetous.
A content person is always appreciative of whatever is given to or done for him however little that might be. In contrast, a discontent person is always unhappy because he is never satisfied with what he has, always wanting more, and when that 'more' isn't forthcoming, he ends up being unhappy and envious of others.
Moreover, a discontent person easily falls into wrong hands especially when he is offered those things that he covets, regardless of where they stem from.
By all means therefore, be content with what you've got at the moment, while honestly trying to improve the quality of your life. 💥💯
