The dictionary defines Ambition as a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work. This is true. Though, I prefer the definition found in The Motivation Manifesto by Brendon Burchard: Ambition is the choice to be, have, do, or experience something greater in our lives.
 
 In this episode Norm and I discuss Ambition, how it's a choice, gaining momentum through action, and how learning can help make the path forward more clear.

In this episode Norm and I dive into belief. Specifically, we investigate a deeply held belief I have about responsibility. I believe that the path forward for all of us requires an acceptance of responsibility to our families, communities, etc. So often these conversations can illuminate beliefs that I have integrated into my life. Many of them due to my life's experiences.

It's useful to admit to the strength and existence of envy. I read in the "48 Laws Of Power" by Robert Greene to not appear too perfect. Appearing so will make silent enemy's out of your allies. This put envy on my radar as high risk. Though, it is one thing to mitigate envy in others and another to address it as an individual. 

In this episode Norm and I attempt to endure envy. We know it is present, but it does not serve us.

Sometimes we drift, we wander.  We know that we need to be more disciplined and resourceful yet we procrastinate. It's challenging staying on the path. It's time to shake the delay off and get back to execution, tune in.

This episode is inspired by the book, "The Code. The Evaluation. The Protocols. Striving To Become An Eminently Qualified Human" by Jocko Willink, Dave Berke, and Sarah Armstrong.

This episode is inspired by an interview I saw with Ben Pakuski. He mentions choosing your suffering. Whether it be discipline or regret. What will you choose? The immediate discomfort of discipline or the long-term corrosive effects of regret.
