“The better ambitions have to do with the development of character and ability, rather than status and power. Status you can lose. You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.”

• Jordan Peterson

If you’re anything like me, you focused on chasing things early on.

Material objects, status, money and position.

All of these things can come and can go yet we attach so much of our self worth in these things.

Developing skill and solid principles are what should be chased yet we tend to neglect that these things exist.

We want the end result and not the vehicle that will get us there.

That vehicle is our character. Our habits. Our values.

This is where true success lies.

It is not in achieving things.

It is in self mastery.
