Do you remember that game you played as a kid? The Hokey Pokey?

You know how you put one foot in (have we ever determined what exactly, we're putting it in TO?), and then took it out, and then put it back in...and so on?

Does it ever feel like you're playing that game when it comes to making your dreams a reality? Because it does for me!

Just when I feel like I'm getting somewhere, those certain aspects of life that I'm trying to move past show up on my doorstep like the dinner guest who forgot their phone (you know, the dinner guest you couldn't wait to get rid of). And so I have to attend to them, again...and somewhat begrudingly....so I can keep on keepin' on.

It can be frustrating and disheartening when you want your attention to be solely on making those dreams a reality and there's still this other stuff kind of lurking in the background.

My advice to you? Don't give up. And even if you can only spend 5 minutes some days making space for those dreams - it's 5 minutes more than 0 minutes, right?

This is YOUR journey. You're not competing with anyone else. Sometimes you need to literally take things one minute at a time - and that's OK. Because those minutes? They add up, Friend. I promise.

If you felt like you were the only one feeling this way before you listened, and now you're relieved to learn that you're not, please share it with others. There may be someone else out there who needs to hear this just as much as you did!
