Episode 215: The best slave is still a slave

In this episode, I talk about a realization that I had many years ago with respect to my competitiveness and drive. If misapplied -- that is, if applied toward the general enrichment of someone else -- these otherwise positive qualities can become a trap. To the extent that you are not yet your own master, you are still someone else’s slave -- and excelling in that role is not necessarily in your best interests. #competition #ambition #slave
