285 - Ambition or Contentment

Stoic Coffee Break

NOTE

Find contentment in the process and self-improvement

To avoid the pitfalls of striving for ambitions and find contentment without being complacent, focus on the process of what you are doing. Find joy in learning and mastering something, and in your own improvement. Be intrinsically motivated and compare yourself with your past self, rather than seeking external validation. The only competition should be with yourself, striving to be better than yesterday and making progress.
