There is no such thing as being "too ambitious." It's really clear to anyone who had any past success in any field that you either go way beyond your initial expectations, or you fail completely, there is rarely any in between. We live in a society that rewards people who are already winning, and where "the best" takes it all, and where the "merely excellent" is effectively "invisible." Most people who ended up with "average" lives actually worked really hard; and people who aimed for an "average life" right from the beginning actually often ended up with way more sufferings than they wanted; and the people with "extraordinary" lives actually often took "crazy" or unconventional risks to get there, or they were very disciplined for very long periods of time. People who managed to "escape the competition" didn't get there with average standards and with "work-life balance" in mind; they were, ironically, actually often extremely competitive. #orangebook #Ambition #Success #RiskTaking
Too many people who never learned to love themselves or who never experienced what life feels like in the healthiest version of themselves somehow think that "enjoying life" means destroying your health with short-term pleasure. #orangebook #SelfLove #Health #Pleasure
