Stop Waiting For That Moment of Arriving

We all want to get to the end and be done, but the truth is there is too much to accomplish to stop now. If you have ever wondered why you haven’t reached that spot of completion yet, here are some answers to that…

1. You Will Never “Arrive”.

Get the idea out of your head of reaching the “arriving” finish line and calling it quits. For those that are goal driven, I am pretty sure this idea of being done doesn’t happen.

(But, let me know if you ever find it, because more rest sounds nice.)

2. Keep Pressing On.

Push through that feeling of relaxing with where you are at. It is easy to get stuck in a feeling of laziness. You become okay with things right where they are at. Press through these feelings of “arriving” and just see what perseverance brings you.

3. The Future Is Bright.

There is a lot to complete and little time to do it in. We are all busy with the day to day and are trying to fit in our goals when we can. Find comfort in knowing that being content from the day to day with your family is what brings you more happiness.

The most important thing to understand when dream chasing is…

    Hmm, that’s a good question! When I look at where I am, I feel like I’m fumbling along. But when I talk with certain friends they see me as soaring! I need to see myself differently in order to be more productive I think. While the race won’t be finished for a long time, I want each checkpoint to be run as well as I can.

      That’s awesome. You have friends that see you soaring and you know that your self-view needs to be tweaked. Sounds like you have a great grasp on things. Have an awesome day, Esther.
