Ambition and Whimsy Can Coexist
For people who are ambitious, it can be hard to find the balance between what seems like two opposites. We are tenacious and try out hearts out, but often times forget that it's just as important to stay light-hearted and to be kind to ourselves.
I have made more progress being kind to myself, while still remaining competitive, than when I have beat myself up for a bad run.
I think the people at the top often have the ability to live in more than one world at any given time. They are the people who can laugh hysterically while working harder than most. They can be resilient and kind to themselves and strangers. They understand that above all else, they are less likely to burn out and more likely to stay the course if they can remain in the balance.
Go Try Your Heart Out & HAVE FUN!!!
