Many points resonated — and I can see how others here could really benefit from them too. A great reminder that there’s no one‑size‑fits‑all; the “sweet spot” between burnout and playing it too small often needs tailoring. Your personal story and tools for calibrating ambition were wisely shared: setting goals that are both grounded in reality and big enough to stretch you over time.
Thanks for articulating it so well — the reminder that re‑setting and re‑evaluating is an ongoing process is valuable. Shifting the goalposts isn’t failure, it’s essential.
Thanks for reading Ross and for your comment! The understanding that constant calibration is needed took me a while to accept, but it definitely makes life more interesting and easier to navigate.
