About this painting…
Ambition is like a matchstick.
To ignite it and achieve your goal, you need just the right amount of preparation. Strike it too soon, and the flame will burn out before you’ve had a chance to use it for its intended purpose. Without preparation, you’ll fumble, unsure of what to do with the spark when it appears. On the other hand, if you spend too much time preparing (carefully considering every angle, hesitating to act) you may never strike the match at all. The key is balance: enough preparation to understand the path ahead, but not so much that you remain stuck in your comfort zone.
True accomplishment lies in recognizing when you’re ready to act, even if it feels slightly uncomfortable. You need the courage to step forward, trusting that the preparation you’ve done is enough to keep the flame alive. Only then can you harness its potential, using it to illuminate the way or spark something greater. Like the matchstick, ambition thrives when it’s met with both intention and decisive action.
