The best ambition has other people in it. Wanting to win so your mom can rest hits different.
LEADERSHIP
WHAT THIS MEANS
A goal that only benefits you runs out of fuel on the days you do not feel like it, because you are the only person who would be let down. Adding somebody real to the reason changes what quitting costs. It is not about pressure, it is about the goal being tied to something outside your mood.
Name one person whose life your success would actually change. Be specific about what would be different for them. Keep that in mind on the days the work is boring.
A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
Who gets to rest if things work out for you?
