I totally get that social media is obnoxiously over saturated with New Years quotes, but when I found this It felt like it was made specifically for me. It's interesting the process it's takes for a dream to come to fruition. If we really look back on our lives, anything we've accomplished that we're truly proud of, we can see that in most cases a seed was planted years prior. Personally I've experienced the process to go like this...
1. something piques my interest
2. immediately become tremendously passionate about it
3. very briefly research what it'll take to achieve this goal
4. impulsively dive in, usually with an ass load of over-confidence, and unwarranted optimism
5. reality kicks me in the head, then spits in my face
6. arrive at cross-roads. Choose 1 of 2 options...Option 1. Pursue with reckless abandon or Option 2. Quietly toss it into the massive pile of unmentioned failed attempts & horrible ideas
7. In the event that I choose Option 1 I gear up for a hard and bumpy ride. Usually happens to take about 4+ times longer than anticipated or hoped for. It requires more patience than I'm comfortable with, a huge leap of faith, and a commitment to deep sacrifice from myself and my family
8. When Option 1 has been seen through I reap rewards that I never thought possible and realize that I'm capable of so much more than I ever dreamed of.
**Thankfully I have an extremely patient husband that takes my endeavors in stride, all the while having faith and confidence that it is through this arduous process that our lives will become great.**
2013 & 2014 required the ground work for what my family will begin to harvest in 2015. Can't wait to share the journey with everyone!
