When the Rules Weren't Written for You
A woman stands in her modest south Georgia home, introducing her college-bound children with pride. Her daughter is pregnant but determined to become a teacher. Her son studies criminology. When asked what she wants for herself, confusion flickers across her face. After twenty years as a cashier, she hesitantly admits to dreaming of starting a daycare for unwed mothers. But her body language screams: this isn't for someone like me. This moment captures a truth many of us carry: we've been taught that certain dreams aren't ours to claim. Whether because of race, gender, class, or circumstance, we've internalized the message that wanting more is presumptuous. At eighteen, after a breakup that stung with accusations of caring more about ambition than love, one response was to retreat to a college computer lab and create a forty-year spreadsheet. Writing bestselling novels by 24, becoming a millionaire by 30, serving as mayor by 35-dreams that made palms sweat but helped sketch a bigger future. Here's what matters: understanding why you want what you want transforms ambition from fantasy into action. Mayoral aspirations crystallized not from ego, but from watching Atlanta erupt after the 1992 Rodney King verdict. Organizing a march to city hall felt inadequate. When police tear-gassed college students and housing project residents alike, the realization hit-race united everyone despite educational differences. This led to questioning the mayor at a town hall, which unexpectedly resulted in a sophomore year job discovering how government could channel an introvert's voice into meaningful change. Following that spreadsheet for a decade revealed an important truth: the job title was never the dream. Ambition should be more than position. Like dating the wrong person, we must learn what's truly for us and be willing to pivot. If you can walk away for long periods, it's not an ambition-it's a wish.
