3 Clues You’re on the Right Track

One of my favorite quotes is from Earl Nightingale.  It says, “Don’t give up on a dream because of the time it will take.  The time will pass anyway.”

I’ve had a dream that’s taken a long time to become a reality – dating.  I’ve been in a wonderful relationship for almost a year now and have gained three lessons I want to share with you.  They can apply to any dream, not just to having a significant other.

1. Go The Easy Route - Someone I really admire told me, “When it’s right, it’s easy.”  That doesn’t mean you take it for granted or go through the motions.  Any dream worth having takes a lot of effort and energy, but it’s worth it.  What that advice means is, when it’s right, it falls into place.  It feels natural.

2. Feel The Rush - A true dream is both exhilarating and scary.  You feel very alive, but you also understand the stakes of it.  It’s a big deal.  That’s another way you know you’re on to something.

3. Where Have You Been All My Life? - There’s no longer something missing.  Many of us come to a point where life’s pretty good, but there’s still a void.  You may not even know what it is at first, but once you’ve recognize your dream, you can tell that feeling’s gone.  That’s a pretty good indicator that you’re on your way and in the heart of your dream journey.

When you notice these three signs, you’re on a good track.  Stick with it and don’t give up!
