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.One, if having excessive ambition, especially one that is worldly, may become so carried away in their pursuits, that they fail take time for the Word of God, to study and to obey it. So now I ask: How can I, with a steadfast heart, be mindful of the word of God, while also maintaining adherence to my ambitions?
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.
