SHE  with Jordan Lee Dooley

When Dreams Come True for Everyone but You


Listen Later

You know what makes it really hard to be content with your life? Feeling like your dreams are coming true for everyone but you.

At one point or another, you’ve probably experienced those moments when the very things you’ve been hoping, working, and praying for seem to work out seamlessly for everyone else while you’re left facing a brick wall.

Just days after your heart gets broken, your best friend gets engaged. Hours after your kid gets into big trouble, your neighbor posts about their kid’s big accomplishment on Facebook. Or just weeks after you get turned down for your dream job, your sister gets a huge promotion.

But what do you do in these situations, when it seems like the thing you most desire in the world is happening for others, but not for you? How do you handle the emotions of anger or jealousy that come up? And what do you do when your faith feels weak, and you’re not sure if your dream will ever come true at all?

Jordan digs into those questions in this episode as she reads a chapter from her new book, Embrace Your Almost.

Hint: Things like finding a spouse, having a family, or building a fulfilling career aren’t as simple as picking something off the Target shelf, but you can still live a life of contentment even when your dream feels far away.

So if you’re feeling like your dream is at a dead-end, tune in to this episode! You’ll learn:

  • How to show your support to someone when you don’t FEEL happy for them
  • What to do when your faith feels weak
  • How to handle jealousy and comparison
  • What a life of contentment really looks like
  • 3 questions to ask yourself when you feel stuck in your life

P.S. Jordan’s new book, Embrace Your Almost, is now available in stores! This book is the no-nonsense guide to the life you long for, even when it doesn’t go according to plan. Order a copy today by going to www.jordanleedooley.com/eya.
