Ambition means tying your well being to what other people say or do. Self-indulgence means tying it to the things that happen to you. Sanity means tying it to your own actions.

Funny, I upvoted your other quote and downvoted this one.
Anyhow, if the object of your affections surprises you with a cuddle and your well being is unimpacted, I wouldn’t call that sane.
I think “tying it to” should be read in the sense of an anchor, not in the sense of “is impacted by.”
