So, you’ve got a big dream, and you’re feeling the fear—so you want some way to get moving? I aim to please, and I’ve got three courageous approaches for your big dream in today’s blog post. These are the exact steps that I took that helped me finally get my first published book deal (which was my big dream at the time!).

When dreams are slow in coming, it’s heartbreaking. It’s easy to lose faith. What to do when dreams are slow in coming? Consider what you’ve resisted doing.

What you understand when you're ready to quit judging people is that it’s a very sane act to meet people where they are, without trying in any way to impose our unsolicited opinions (no matter how well-intentioned). Really, we all just want to know that we are loved, and that we are okay, and that we are not alone.

One of the few upsides of dissatisfaction is that you really get a pretty low tolerance for taking shit or settling for circumstances that are less than ideal. Usually, dissatisfaction is seen as a bad thing, and I’d agree that being chronically dissatisfied points to a general pessimism in one’s approach to life. That’s probably not too healthy.
