When your dream takes longer than you imagined...

You have a vision.

You dream and daydream about it all coming to fruition.

You write it down with a pen.

This is your dream.

This vision springs you out of bed morning after morning.

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY, you tell yourself.

But what about when your dream takes longer than you imagined?

When the days get long and the vision starts to slip from your mind.

You have never been afraid to put in the work.

Again, by any means necessary.

But the time… the work… and still, so little to show.

You set out to put your best foot forward daily.

Yet, you look around and it's rather quiet.

You wonder if you are putting your attention towards the right things.

You wonder if this is ALL. FOR. NOTHING.

This is when it is easy to let doubt… fear… creep into your presence.

Time multiplies. Resources subtract. Confidence divides.

You come to a crossroad.

You have a choice to make.

The road ahead is unclear… The choice is not.

Stay the course!! Keep going.

You are being prepared and molded for something far bigger and brighter than you can imagine.

It is said that everything takes twice as long as you imagine it will… twice as many resources…

Don’t get discouraged.

Acknowledge that this could be the case and proceed regardless.

What if this delay is simply part of the journey?

Maybe this isn’t a delay at all. Maybe the roots are just growing deeper.

With aggressive patience,
