Banger read! Really loved the vulnerability in this piece and the awareness to link the demoralization to the shift from healthy ambition into ego-driven ambition.
thank you my dear friend. a common theme that's been coming up this past year is how cunning our mind is as it morphs from one harmless thing into another completely different thing, so subtly that we usually catch it once it's already happened and continue to go on as if nothing has changed.
which ties so beautifully into the main "skill" being cultivated by meditation: simply noticing the moment when thoughts appear and disappear. i think this is why I'm so big on meditation as the foundation for any sort of deep transformation.

Awesome read my friend. Reminds me of a concept from Leila Hormozi: "not a problem to solve, but a dichotomy to manage."
so well said, maybe you should collaborate on my essays cause i wish that was in this past one lol
