Ambition
I've been thinking a lot about ambition. Ambition alone will drive you insane. The constant strain of wanting to be somewhere further along than you are.
I think a lot of people strive for success for the sake of success. They define themselves by the "grind" or "hustle", working until they burn out because of some "pay off" that's supposed to come one day on the other side of achievement.
But if we combine ambition with passion we can enjoy the ride as well. There isn't as much of a rush because we aren't suffering or sacrificing our well-being as we make our way towards our goals.
We have to take care of ourselves and have fun doing what we're doing so we can do it for as long as possible.

I Give You Permission To Feel Sad
The hardest part about sadness for me is my lack of tolerance for it.
We hear it all the time:
āDonāt be sadā
āCheer upā
Not once has that ever made me feel better. In fact, itās made me feel like I was letting those around me down, ironically driving me deeper into sadness (or at the very least, adding another layer onto it).
It wasnāt until I was listening to Ram DassĀ āExperiments In Truthā that I developed a new appreciation for sadness. To briefly sum up his point - looking at someone who isnāt self-aware asĀ āless thanā someone who is, is a form of righteousness. It leads to a ranking system that isnāt true.
I started to think about what I look down on: sadness. I have no tolerance for it in others. I have no tolerance for it in myself.
I find it painful and, in addition, Iāve been rewarded my entire life for being happy and pleasant to be around by those I love. OF COURSE I WOULDNāT LET MYSELF BE SAD WITH THAT UPBRINGING.
But sadness is human, itās an emotion just as important and present as happiness. Yet, any time it arises I shame myself for it - allowing it to control and define me.
So, I gave myself permission to feel sad. I acknowledge that itās a feeling - a natural one, at that - and if Inside OutĀ taught us anything, itās that sadness is important (and voiced by Phyllis from The Office).
I felt sad. I felt it and watched it. I admired it. I embraced it. I made peace with it.
The worst part of my sadness was my battle with it. But once I stopped fighting, it ran itās course. And the moments I spent in it werenāt intolerable. In fact, they became peaceful.
Itās okay to feel sad. Itās important to feel sad. I give you permission to feel sad.
And if people have a problem with it, itās because they havenāt given themselves permission to feel sad yet.
Hereās the big takeaway: you are not your sadness. Sadness is merely something you are experiencing. It is a feeling- an emotion. Emotions are like waves in the ocean: they wash over us and they pass. If we fight them, they hit harder, but if we surf with them we can ride that wave.
Ride that sadness wave, baby. You have full permission to.
The Call For Voice
They take away our freedom while trying to ensure A future fit for all mankind they think that we'd prefer But man just wants his freedom, to live as he should choose And they think that they're protecting us, from something we can lose But losing's not an option. Never has been, never will So you can let your guard down, and trust in man's free will The poor will unify the heartfelt, and they'll fulfill each other And we will choose our own pathways to help out one another But if it's been decided, by an overseeing group Eventually the people will catch on and rise together with a coup The tighter that you hold it, it can't go on forever Your resistance only correlates to the size mess of this endeavor I get that you're afraid, that you think that you know best For you all went to Harvard, and know better than the rest But Harvard can not teach you what the heart already knows Power's not forever, but rather ebbs and flows So look into the eyes, of the people calling out While their words may not be uniform, they're United there's no doubt They say the system is broken, it's been broken for some time "It's time for change and freedom to bring me what is mine" They're not talking about items, they're talking about choice For to silence all the people, just give them back their voice.
You Do You
You will meet people for whom you want to change who you are. That last sentence is grammatically correct, and is also a great example of what Iām about to say. Bear with me.
You will come across people who want something different that what you are. Hereās an example: I loved a girl who once told meĀ āI love a guy with tattoosā and I immediately thoughtĀ āI should get a tattoo.ā
I donāt want a tattoo. I never have. Iāve thought about it before and decided against it, independently of the thoughts of others. I know this about myself. Yet, in this brief moment- I seriously considered getting a tattoo.
I didnāt get one. I recognized the thought as me trying to change myself to fit the mold of what someone else wanted, but you get the point. Some of us have a deep desire to please people that we care about (I am guilty of this) and others will consider changing themselves to earn the affections of those they desire (I am also guilty of this).
But hereās what I want to tell you: you are not helping ANYONE by changing yourself for them.
First, Iāve realized the importance of seeing others as strong and capable. If I look at the people I encounter as able to handle anything that comes across their life, suddenly the need to cater to them declines.
What I realized is that by trying to please someone by changing something about myself, I was actually viewing them as fragile or incapableĀ in some way of handling (or accepting) me in my entirety. Some will call thisĀ āmaking yourself smaller for the sake of othersā. Iāve spent years of my life doing this and continue to do it in some ways to this day (itās a slow process).
The other element of this is changing yourself to gain the affection of someone. Thatās a temporary fix. Had I gotten that tattoo that wasnāt true to me it wouldāve been inauthentic- and nothing stinks more than inauthenticity. Inauthentic actions or behaviors might work initially, but they donāt last over time. Itās like holding a bag of groceries, it could be easy at first, but the longer you carry it the heavier it feels until itās unbearable. Theyāll know it, youāll know it, and no one will be happy. In fact, Iāve found that people appreciate a respectful difference. It shows an inner strength, confidence, and self-understanding that is incredibly attractive.
So, back to that first sentence. Itās the sentence that I wanted to write (because the other way sounded funky to me). I worried that the less educated would be turned off and wouldnāt read further. I worried that someone, somewhere looking at this would be turned off or distracted. I worried so I wanted to change it. And in not changing it, Iām giving those people the opportunity to push past something; to be bigger than they were before. Itās their opportunity to take it, but in standing in whatās true to me, Iām providing it for them.
My wish for you reading this right now is that you go be you. Unwaiveringly, truly, and from a place of love and compassion for everyone you come into contact with. They are big, strong people and can handle anything your put in front of them from that place. See them this way and they will surprise you.
Love,
Ross
