This new project is very intriguing and timely as I still delve into what it is I want to focus on professionally, or what I do to contribute to our family financially, and the fact that whatever it might be it will take some ambition to move forward and I struggle with that for real
I love this!! I love the questions you are asking and the mix of experts and novices learning more together about what makes us tick. I especially applaud and appreciate the work to unhinge ambition from capital and to honor all the things that call to us, paid or unpaid, including family care and social and personal integrity. ♥️
Love this, Asha! As a person who's never been able to shuck my ambition, it resonates deeply. And it's timely as I'm preparing to announce a workshop I'm cheekily calling Ambition for Lazy People. Haha. Looking forward to hearing more!
Love that you’re exploring this topic! So much to say about it, too. I remember Eli telling me, years ago, that he didn’t think I was ambitious and I was actually offended. It actually helped me to move forward on some things and think in bigger terms for myself…but I later realized that I was conflating ambition w intelligence. I interpreted “you are not ambitious” to “you are not smart,” which says at least *something* about my personal inner world construction of ambition…
I get that. I always conflated ambitious with fearless. I’ve often felt too fearful to be ambitious. Certainly about things that are very core to me. I’m not great at risk.

Great subject. I was just discussing money as the lowest form of motivation. Sounds like you're doing it right!
Sounds like a interesting topic worthy of exploration! Will look forward to it, Asha!
