So keep lowering your expectations to exactly where you are?

Not very ambitious.

How about aligning your expectations to the possible?

Isn't "the possible" based on "where you are" now?

I think "reality" includes the next possible growth step.

Possible is where you can go from where you are now.

Notice that bit of expectation outside the overlap with reality? That is ambition.

Well I took it as. If you're unmotivated do little achievable goals. Keep doing them till you're head registers that you can achieve things and keep setting the bar higher.

As Jordan Peterson says "Clean your room". The first step to getting your life in order.
