The bakery owner you envy was up at 3:30 for eleven years. Want the shop? Then you want the alarm too.

Envy attaches to the result and skips the method. You want the shop, the respect, the finished thing, and what produced it was an alarm going off in the dark a few thousand times. Wanting an outcome without wanting its daily version is not ambition, it is preference.

Before committing to any big want, go find out what the ordinary day costs and ask yourself honestly whether you would do that part. Shadow somebody for a shift if you can. One morning in the actual building answers the question better than a year of imagining.
