Going All In: Embracing the Journey to My Dreams

What if this is the last year to go after the dream? The time to either accomplish it or let it go. How does that make you feel?

It excites me to think about accomplishing it and saddens me to think I might not. Honestly, my heart can’t even imagine that outcome. I’ve had this dream tucked into the corners of my heart for so many years, and the thought of never accomplishing it breaks my heart.

Therefore, I know it is time to stop procrastinating and sabotaging myself. It’s time for me to give this dream everything I have. Then, if I end the year without accomplishing it, I will know that I gave it my best, and I can live with that result.

What I can’t live with, however, is silent quitting when I do just enough to get by.

The pain of not accomplishing my goal is greater than the pain of actually doing the work. We have to get to this point before finding the strength, determination, and drive to do it.

I know the journey to the goal will be messy and hard, and I will sometimes want to quit. But I also know I have dreamed of this since I was a little girl. It’s time for me to see if I can make it happen.

I know that if I show up and do my part, God will do His part. He will open the doors I can’t see or even understand. He will go on this journey with me.

I’ve surrendered my dream to God. I’ve asked Him to remove the desire from my heart if it’s not His will for me. And the dream intensified instead of going away.

So I’m going all in. I’m ready to give it everything I’ve got and do whatever it takes.
