This might be a controversial thing to say but...we’ve been sold a lie - that if we work hard enough, believe in ourselves, and “want it” badly enough, we’ll be incredible.
But here’s the truth: When everyone is told they can be incredible, we end up chasing a bar that keeps moving. And if we’re not careful, we measure our worth against something almost no one can reach.
This pressure to always stand out and to always be more isn’t motivating, it’s exhausting. It’s hurting our mental health and it’s keeping us from feeling proud of what’s already enough.
Ambition is powerful but it needs boundaries. Otherwise, we mistake burnout for bravery.
