I forget that the difficulty in pursuing what I want isn’t a burden but a human birthright.
“Throughout our days, we might tell ourselves that life will be better when we get that promotion, leave our job, lose weight, finish this project, win that award—when we finally arrive. But the truth is that we never arrive. Not when we get that job, complete that project, find a partner, move into that house, make more money. Because even when we do achieve such things, we are always looking to the next thing, or lamenting the inevitable plateau of a specific ambition.”

“While philosophers used to meditate on one phrase or word for days or weeks or longer, with social media we consume hundreds of phrases a day, rarely pausing to envision how they fit with the other contents of our brains, and whether they belong at all.

“But this is it. This day, this life, is not a dress rehearsal for another. There’s just the one show, and it’s the most spectacular one we will ever get. So do the thing you want in spite of it all, and bring your heart to it, even if it’s for a limited time only.”

“Ambition itself is not a character flaw—it can guide and propel us. But when we use it to fill our internal sense of emptiness, we run in circles. Instead of asking what ambition, what goal, what achievement will make us special—and make us feel whole—we can keep jostling with the incomplete parts of ourselves. We can stop worrying about how the rest of our lives will turn out and simply get through the smaller challenges we will encounter today. We live in this day, after all, not in the one we’re waiting for.”
