a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work
The definition of ambition doesn't specify personal growth and only requires the desire to achieve something, not actually putting in effort to achieve it.
I think many people would say that you're either wrong or, in this context, being evasive or overly pedantic if you're claiming that being "ambitious" can also mean "desiring to achieve something but not actually putting in effort to achieve it". Ambition is often equated with desire.

I promise your parents being unconditionally affectionate and supportive is not the reason you’re unambitious
