Change guilt
You create your path.
But make sure you like your reasons for whatever you choose.
If your evolution of ambition has you questioning if you should stay the course or what it will mean if you don’t and you’re making choices because you feel obligated, guilty, or regret - you do not like your reasons.
It can be hella scary to create your own path, to diverge from the predicted, planned, orchestrated plan. But if you’re doing it for reasons you like - that is fulfillment.
