I need it very much in order to know what I want. Thank you so much.
More than half the battle for me involves cutting down all my goals so that I'm not overwhelmed and just stop.
At first I was elated at the thought of pursuing my dream of moving to Asheville, and I had a serious talk with myself about not letting fear get in the way. Now I just feel overwhelmed with all of the details. I'm trying to get my house ready for sale, I've got to find a job there, find property there to build on and get everything in order for my successor here in my job. I feel immobilized at the moment to do anything.
When I was lost, I would like to turn to others' stories to find out the proof that I was not the only one to go through such unpleasant obstacles. My dream is related to my professional career, and I am in the course of making it closer and closer to the reality. However, sometimes I blamed myself on that I would have dedicated more on the expert track of mine, or doubted whether it's a bit too late for me to move forward. Too many uncertainties make me concern. I need courage to make it with the encourgements by others' experiences. Here I think I am not alone. Thanks on the first day.
I love this topic! It is the one question I get asked the most..."How do you turn a dream into reality?" I literally just posted my first eBook called "Dream to Reality". I'm so excited to read your tips and learn more about this topic!

A smile has always been just a touch away by keeping my dream in my pocket through relocations, divorces, marriages, births, deaths, job loss, job promotions, menopause and economic recessions; touching it always to remind myself my dream is there and occasionally wearing my biggest smile whenever I could take it out and polish it off.
It took 22 years but now I am completely free to make my dreams come true. Due season always comes.
