Workout: Ambition

There's no such thing as an overnight success. It is usually a lot of people who've been very, very patient and diligent and disciplined and giving in their process to finally reaching whatever that success is. But I have some ideas for you, especially if you're like, oh my gosh, it's just not going to happen. I'm frustrated, I'm working through and I definitely can get that because I spent almost all of my 20s working. 24, it felt like, and you know, I was in the grind, in a corporate job, working non stop for other people, not really in any of my control. It was like, this is your project. Do this, do that, do that. It was very, it was just so insane with the pressure and all of the work. And I just remember thinking somewhere in the mid-20s, like, am I ever gonna do what I really want to do? Because I was saving up at the same time I was trying to like pay rent. And it was, I mean, we all come from this place where it's like, even if you have a dream, almost the dream, it starts in the back of your mind and it has to become like a, you know, a thing on the back burner so you can pay rent, get food, like have an overall quality of life for most people. It's not like they can just all of a sudden quit everything and start on their dream. Like for a lot of people it's a side hustle or it's a like longer period of waiting until they can, you know, move somewhere, find something, begin something new. Focus on doing activities that draw your passion. Don't focus on the success, the outcome, the final goal, the final destination. A lot of our discouragement comes because we're trying to make that specific thing happen. And we have a way in which we think it has to happen. And let me tell you what, I know a lot of people who, they actually did that they worked diligently for years and years and years to manifest their dream. And now they've, you know, they've achieve the outward appearance of that success. They've got the bigger house, the bigger cars, they've got the yachts, the boats, the fancy vacations, abundance in every single way. And they're unhappy because along the way they were focusing on those external things versus the activities that bring them joy, passion and fulfillment. And what happens is you want to compromise on the activities that are actually part of the dream so that you can have the dream, right? It's that person who works a job that sucks for 20 years to finally get paid something to finally quit that job to do the thing they really wanted to do. So for 20 years, they did things that they weren't even passionate about, fooling themselves like, well, I just need to save and save and save and finally one day be able to go do my dream. And it doesn't really, like, make any sense. Don't give up. 20, 30 years of your life doing something, hoping to earn the right to do the thing you want to do. Start doing the activity activities you enjoy and make you feel challenged or creative or satisfied or fulfilled or on fire. Now.
