Hey, this is Leo, for actualized.org.

And in this episode, I want to talk about how to unleash your ambition. The key idea that I want to get across to you.

The key idea that I want to get across to you in this episode is that if you're an

ambitious person or even if you just have an inkling of ambition within you, then it's your job at whatever cost it takes

to figure out a way to realize that ambition.

And then it's your job to play big rather than play small.

Because in society, if you don't unleash your ambition through your own sheer will

then what's going to happen is that you're going to get sucked down into the muck with everybody else.

And that's going to be a real disservice that you do to humanity.

Because we need more ambitious people doing ambitious things.

One of the themes throughout my entire life that I've struggled with, this has been a theme for me since I was in my teens all the way up till today is basically

I had this ambition inside of me like in here this passion this desire to go create something to shape and

impact the world to leave a legacy behind I had something like that, right? But it was so unrefined, it was so unstructured, and I had

no idea how to take this ambition and how do I actually do something with it in the real world.

And that for me has been like the defining theme of my entire life is like learning how to take

this abstract ethereal creative drive that was in there, my muse, and then figure out how do I actually

get that muse to have traction in the real world?

Because in the real world, once you come up with all these dreams and ideas you have and all this lofty cool stuff,

like maybe you plan to start a business or you plan to start a charity, you plan to go change the world in some way,

that's all good on paper in your mind when you're daydreaming it, but then when the rubber meets the road, it's like you have to actually start a business, you have to hire employees, you have to know what you're doing, you have to have experience, you have to have knowledge,

you have to have marketing skills, you have to be able to make money, so the thing is self-sustaining,

you have to be able to manage the whole thing, You have to be able to avoid all the different obstacles that are there.
