Ambition or Obsession?
When wanting more costs too much
My story
Whenever things got hard, my answer was always the same: more. More hours, more clients, more projects. I thought I was being ambitious. I was running away.
What it costs you
From the outside, obsession looks like ambition. But ambition gives you energy. Obsession takes it.
Get your peace back
- For every new project, ask: what will I stop to make room for it?
- Notice whether you're chasing a goal or running from a fear.
- Celebrate every win for 24 hours before setting the next target.
How to avoid it
Set goals with a finish line, not just a next level.
