This tweet really spoke the truth to me. Ambitious people get mentally fried not just from working hard, but from having too many possible paths that are equally good. The feeling that you can do almost anything, at any moment. For an ambitious person today, that can look like: Career: multiple industries, job roles, side hustles, and online plays all feel open. Money: trading, startups, content, VC, consulting: you can see 100 wealth paths. Choosing one path means you neglect or won't get as good on the other ones Relationships/lifestyle: dating apps, global travel, social media make it feel like there’s always a “better” city, job, partner ++ Well, what's so bad with it tbh? You rarely commit hard to one thing, because committing feels like killing all the other options. You’re constantly evaluating and re-evaluating instead of building depth and compounding in one direction. For me, this shows up as chronic indecision, low-grade FOMO, and the sense that I am permanently “behind” on some hypothetical better path. For me rn, the biggest question is: should I move to another place, or stay where I am? There are too many pros and cons with both options, and I know I will be happy with both. The problem is that I have FOMO; I am simply afraid of choosing. My brain is always evaluating alternative futures instead of living inside one chosen path. It’s the feeling that there are 10,000 possible lives available, and somehow I might be choosing the wrong one.(Route 2 FI)
