Lately, I’ve been thinking about how ambition, on its own, isn’t always enough. I’ve seen it firsthand in my journey as a musician and artist—big dreams can easily fall apart without a solid plan to back them up.
This idea reminded me of something Nathan Kontny wrote in his 2018 Medium article, When Ambition Leads to Failure. He points out that ambition, while powerful, can sometimes lead to setbacks if it’s not paired with discipline and strategy. One line that stuck with me was: “Ambition is wonderful, but only when it motivates you to keep going.” That really resonates with my creative process.
March feels like the perfect time to reflect on this—goal-setting, fresh starts, and taking stock of where we’re headed. Whether I’m working toward my next big song or you’re chasing your own ambitions, one thing is clear: ambition needs structure to thrive. A plan doesn’t stifle creativity; it gives it the foundation to grow.
What do you think? Have you ever seen ambition lead to failure because there wasn’t a clear strategy in place? Let’s talk!
