"Ambitious people can envision their ideal place to live. But they’re there. They're living in the marginally better version of the world they see"
Simplified meaning
People who are driven and have big dreams often imagine the perfect place to live. However, they're actually already there, living in a slightly improved version of the world they dream about.
For example, consider a scientist who dreams of finding a cure for a serious disease. They picture a world where no one suffers from that illness. But as they work and make small improvements in medicine, they're already in that slightly better world they envisioned, because they're contributing to the progress.
This idea teaches us that even small steps toward our dreams bring us closer to our ideal world. So, rather than waiting for everything to be perfect, we should recognize and appreciate the improvements we’re making right now. It helps us stay motivated and reminds us that even small progress is significant.
