Ambition and insecurity are two sides of the same coin, imo. These books helped me alot personally:

"Freedom from the known" - Jiddu Krishnamurti and "Power of Now" - Eckhart Tolle

I think it's healthy to pursue goals and improve your life situation. But don't let it become your identity or expect lasting peace from it.
