November 2, 2025- Turn dreams into reality

It’s not your goals that will lead to success but your commitment to the process.

~Jon Gordon

We can have an entire pocket full of well written, specific, time-stamped index cards of all our goals, but if we are not willing to do the work, those goals will do nothing for us. In fact, they will be a reminder of what a failure we are. They may even convince us that nothing good will ever happen to us.

We cannot sit around, waiting for our dreams to come to us; we must move toward our dreams. The journey is ours. The story doesn’t care if it comes true or not. We have the agency to turn our fairytale into a narrative.

There is nothing wrong with having dreams and goals. They do help us direct our energy and effort. But it is never about our thoughts, our hopes, or our desires; our life will always be determined by our choices and our actions.

Let your goals become action items. Move yourself closer to them, day after day. Even if they seem unrealistic, the work we do to pursue our goals will make us stronger. The persistence we practice will serve us in other pursuits.

We will never grow by reaching a goal. We grow because of the work it took to get there. Turn dreams into reality, one choice at a time. Work toward a better version of you.
