Ambition Is Bullsh*t Without Action (& other friendly writing advice)
Stuck in your head? Here’s how to change that
Ambition is a word that’s thrown around a lot.
We praise ambitious people, admire their drive, and envy their dreams. But let’s get real — ambition alone is bullsh*t if you don’t use it. It’s worthless if it just sits in your head, making you anxious with unfulfilled dreams.
It’s time to change that.
Ambition Needs Action
Ambition without action is just daydreaming.
Successful people take their dreams and break them into small, actionable steps. Think about writing a book. You won’t get it done by merely thinking about it. Here’s what to do next: set a timer for 25 minutes and write. Don’t think, just write. This method, known as the Pomodoro Technique, forces you to focus and get stuff done. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish in short, focused bursts.
Instead of waiting for the perfect moment or ideal circumstances, take what you have right now and start. The action of setting a timer and writing for 25 minutes is concrete, achievable, and repeatable. If you commit to this small step daily, you’ll soon have a pile of pages that can turn into a book.
