How much will my overambition clash with my fiancé's underambition? And is his underachieving a symptom of something larger?

I'm worried that he is aspiring towards mediocrity, and I'm worried that I will quickly tire of that. How do I motivate him to achieve more, or how do I stop stressing about that, because it is none of my business? [more inside]
