    Ahhh, easy answer… by a conscious choice to include Christ in your life. Again, it is you that chooses that path, nobody but you… you are the one steering that ship & you yourself are your own advocate. Ambition is a good thing if blessed by God, how can you loose! My God, think of the positive implications of interacting with a world where you are adding God into your daily goals.

    I don’t know why you are concerned with paring Christ to your life’s goals? You will have to enlighten me to the basis for that concern.

    One reason I've been concerned about this is that I lack the desire to discuss theology in my writing, desiring rather to write epistolary fiction in a prose style not yet invented, and informative non-fiction, and other things. Another reason I've been concerned about my ambitions causing me to neglect the Lord is that I tend to focus on ideas about writing the majority of the time, failing to spend time for the Word of God. I think that, likely, I merely lack self-discipline, as I focus so heavily on writing to the neglect of other things, because I delight in the thought of writing well-crafted works, and because throughout most of the time I procrastinate.

    Despite these things, it is my desire to hold to my ambitions, nonetheless not without godliness.

    You diagnosed the problem… now what to do about it? To thy own self be true my brother… but I’ve never seen anyone successful who hasn’t put much sweat and blood into their goals… in fact I would say that the ones that are successful attain preeminence in their field. And it takes sleepless nights, superior intellect, strong work ethic… and Gods blessings.

    Make God your regulator, your moderator, your guide. It’s all spiritual warfare and it’s good to have God as your partner.
