Austin will explore the tension between two widely valued virtues: contentment and ambition. Contentment promotes peace, gratitude, and acceptance of the present, while ambition fuels growth and progress, often driven by a sense of lack. The presentation will challenge the audience to consider whether these virtues can coexist or if one inevitably requires the sacrifice of the other.
Questions:
- Can contentment and ambition coexist, or must one always come at the expense of the other?
- How can we find contentment while still having things to accomplish?
