A life you can live in

Ambition · Little Light original

When you imagine the life you are working towards, remember to imagine an ordinary Tuesday inside it. How you wake up. The people you speak to. Whether you have time to eat without rushing, and enough of yourself left to be kind when you get home. Let those details belong to the dream too. You can want work that stretches you, responsibility that matters, and the satisfaction of doing something difficult well. You can also build a way of living that supports the person doing all that work. Your ambition deserves a thoughtful direction. Keep asking what success will ask of you each day, and whether that is a life you want to practise living.
