Ambitions are my desire for a future outcome. So if I have a desire for a future outcome, I'm going to see a lot of instances of you stealing my freaking promotion relationship.
Ever wondered how your ambitions and desires for the future might be affecting your sobriety? In this thought-provoking episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles the complex relationship between our dreams and our sense of self. Joe kicks things off by questioning what security means to us—be it money, housing, or relationships—and how these elements shape our identity. He warns of the pitfalls that come when we tie our self-worth too closely to our jobs or ambitions.
What happens if those things disappear? We might find ourselves adrift, grappling with feelings of loss and confusion. Joe also dives into how our desires for future outcomes, like promotions or new relationships, can lead to feelings of unfairness and resentment. These emotions can be particularly detrimental to those on a sobriety journey, making it crucial to find a balanced approach to our ambitions.
With his usual mix of empathy and insight, Joe offers listeners a fresh perspective on navigating the tricky waters of future desires and maintaining a stable, sober life.
