Why I choose to “have no ambition”

It doesn’t matter what others think. I’m content to just be.

Natasha Helwig said, "You are here to live. Not to earn, not to stress, not to prove, not even to please. Just to live." I know its hard, but we can work on “unlearning” our always-on, always more mindset.

Instead of letting our work be the central axis around which everything orbits, WE can reframe our lives in terms of things that we truly care about. A good home, a good enough job and a successful relationship.

Yes, the harsh reality of affordability these days means that scaling back is a huge privilege many can’t consider yet.

But if we’ve already reached a stage where it’s possible, I think it’s worth considering that valuing sufficiency over achievement, more free time over more money, is a better recipe for fulfillment.

Work to live, not live to work.

Maybe some people really enjoy living a fast-paced life where they overcome new challenges every day but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with not wanting that.

There is so much value to embracing our ordinary lives and opening our eyes to the magic of our mundane.
