How Ambition and Self Awareness Can Work Together (Joe Hudson)

Will I lose all ambition if I really go all in on my self awareness and spiritual journey? 

Is having ambition compatible with my continuous growth?

If I really go all in on this inner work thing and I am going to be POOR AND UNSUCCESSFUL!?

You’re essentially reading the monologue that replayed in my head in the early days of my consciousness journey.

The short answer to these questions: no.

Transformation can often be accompanied by polarized thinking.

For example, maybe at one point in our lives we were incredibly ambitious thinking getting things outside ourselves was going to solve all our problems. Eventually, we get the things, feel a transient sense of well-being, and realize the inherent conditionality and hollowness to this approach. At this point, we may swing in the other direction becoming obsessed with inner work while believing that anything that resembles your previous paradigm like ambition is bad or incompatible. 

This is just a misconception created by polarized thinking. How to find harmony between aligned ambition and self discovery is the core idea in today’s conversation with Joe Hudson. If you don’t know Joe, he is the founder of The Art of Accomplishment and executive coach to many well known entrepreneurs you’ve probably heard of.
