Why do we so often choose what feels good now over what matters most in the long term?
From skipping the walk to postponing the trip, our lives are shaped by small everyday choices. In this reflection, I explore the hidden cost of short-term comfort, the role energy plays in pursuing our ambitions, and why creating more capacity may be more important than trying harder.
Many of us assume ambition belongs to younger people, but I’m not convinced that’s true. Reflecting on an old “50 Before 50” list reminded me that while some ambitions naturally change over time, others quietly slip into the background as life and work become busier. In this personal reflection, I explore midlife ambitions, the role energy plays in pursuing what matters, and how we can reconnect with the possibilities we still want for our lives.
