Ambition

When ambition feels like a threat.
That’s a brain—and body—so overdosed on stress and survival related to ambition that it’s now wired to the same circuitry as a threat.
That’s why you can’t stop and rest.
That’s why you feel jumpy about being still.
That’s why you get enormous guilt on vacation.
That’s also why there’s stalemate in your projects.
That’s also why you feel blocked, despite being crazy consistent.
That’s also why you struggle with motivation, even if your life depends on it.
The thing that worked initially is now the one blocking you.
Your ambition.
