Ambition

I have noticed lately that I am surrounded by a lot of people who have no ambition..it is like they have accepted all the mediocracy in their lives and have even planted immovable roots in its ideology.

I guess if that was what they really wanted it wouldn't be that bad but this acceptance of mediocrity comes with a big heap of complaining about their own self-directed location.  Doesn't the mere act of complaining about something mean that you are not satisfied?

I am not sure that they really want to change their circumstances because they are truly content with the helplessness they have created themselves.  They only want to ask for opinions on how to change but only to listen to the cadence of the responses not to actually move in any particular direction. So what can you do?

You just have to accept that you are surrounded by a lot of people who have no ambition and it is not up to you to change their circumstances that is something only they can do.  If their complaining gets too much, toss them bone and maybe they will be ambitious enough to catch it or you can always slip on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones...
