In this episode I want to talk about the bad side to ambition.

Sit back and enjoy the show because you are now listening to tiny leaps. Big change.

Big change. be safe. I'm going to do. Oh, Okay, so we know that ambition is a good thing, right?

It drives us, it pushes us forward, it allows us to dream of bigger things and push for greater

than what we have.

And ambition is, without a a doubt a positive trait. However I've

always been an ambitious person and I remember thinking when I was younger that there's a negative side to ambition.

You know, there is, it's not always a great thing to be an ambitious person because really what ambition means is that you are always reaching

for something else and when you are always reaching for something else, it makes it very difficult to be happy,

to experience happiness and joy about the things that you have.

It makes it difficult to experience gratitude

about what you've already done.

And frankly, it makes it very difficult to understand

the successes that you've had and to feel good about those successes.

I've always struggled with this.

You know, I produced electronic music for a while and had a friend of mine and I had our song played on

international radio and so it was heard by a lot of people and it did really well

and I still felt like I wasn't a very good producer.

And I think I felt all of these things because by the time I achieved something, the goal had already moved.

And that's really the negative side to ambition.

If you are always reaching for something else then by the time you achieve it the goal has already moved and so you don't even realize that you achieved that thing that you you originally set out to do,

because now you're so focused on the next thing.
