Ambition verses stress

Positive, happy and above all ambitious is how people probably would describe me if they were asked to.
Well, I might disagree with the first two sometimes, but being ambitious is no longer only a description, it’s a part of who I am.
Ambition is, of course, not the issue here. My main problem is, actually, the stress that comes along with it. Not to mention that it is even having a bad influence on my social life.

The problem is, as you notice, addressed to my self.

I think the reason behind all this trouble is that I am dead-line-person. It would be much easier if I just spent an hour each and every day doing my homework and not leaving it to pile up. Doing things gradually is a better way of putting it.

Another reason that causes this stress is that I want to achieve all my goals, both short-term and long-term, within a not so very reasonable period.

Awareness is the first step in problem solving; therefore, I think that I am at least heading toward the right direction.
Although it is easier to write about the problem than tackling it, I found it to my relief to be able to discuss it.

:-)I guess the stress from being passionate is quite natural one, so you don't need to get too much stressful about it. I'm also one of people putting off the things until its deadline, unfortunately. Let's put our passion and ambition on much wiser ways!

1. Sounds like a though problem. Of course it is important to be ambitious. Without ambitions there is no point in studying, and you could just end up like too many others - behind the counter in Lidl or at McDonald's.

2. ;) hopefully it will save you. Tips: If you stress about it, you won't find anyone.

Good luck!
