Ambition is a Hell of a Drug

10 years ago I could not imagine having the life I have now. It was an out of reach dream. And yet now I struggle to appreciate it; the opportunity, the quality of life... I spend so much of my time still living in the future of where I’d prefer to be. And I know that when I reach that new point, that new destination, another future will be on my mind. I’m grateful for moments like this when I have that self-awareness to be present and aware and value the time, and opportunity, and gifts of the current moment. Ambition is a hell of a drug. I feel we live in a world where our success feels tied to dissatisfaction of our present. I don’t think that needs to be true and I’m certain it isn’t a path towards wellness or happiness. So, I’ll keep reminding myself to put my trust in gratitude, and appreciation of the present, of life, of all the whats and whos and places that exist for me now. And I wish the same for you.

Be well,
Naser
