Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more? In this post, I dive into the tension between ambition and gratitude, explore where that guilt comes from, and share why chasing bold goals is an act of generosity—not selfishness. Plus, practical steps to overcome the 'what ifs' and embrace your full potential.
You're in my mind again! I have felt myself feeling guilty for wanting more. I think some of that comes with who I surround myself with (oops) and some lingering corporate trauma. This is a great reminder to dig deeper into those feelings!
Hehehe, hello it's me again :) But seriously, it's so real. Reflecting and questioning where the feeling is coming from helps a lot. And to be fair, there is a version of "wanting more" that's completely self serving, selfish, and inconsiderate-but most of the people I've worked with/that I know don't have those motivations. You don't strike me as the awful type either :)
I can definitely relate to corporate trauma, that gets in your head too!

Ambition as an act of generosity—I LOVE that.
Yesssss. Just thinking about what opportunities we open up for others when we choose to elevate ourselves gets me every time.
