Ever have a goal or a dream where you continued to experience setbacks? Maybe they were big setbacks. Maybe they were small setbacks but felt like big setbacks. Maybe they weren’t really setbacks at all, but instead just a speed bump. I know I’ve felt all of these in many areas of my life!

Sometimes you have to step back and assess the validity of what you are perceiving is a setback and determine whether or not giving up is an option.

Perseverance and determination is key to success. And if you really really really believe something and are on fire for it, don’t listen to the naysayers. Not everybody sees life through the lens of your vision. Keep. Moving. Forward. It may be slow progress. It may seem like “it” will never happen for you. Whether it’s weight loss, a business venture, a book idea, or whatever, but keep moving forward.

And in my humble opinion, I say “go big or go home”. If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. So if somebody is telling you that your dreams are too big, I’d encourage you to tell them they think too small. Say it sweetly though.

So, take those goals and dreams of yours and go pursue them! Enjoy the ride.

XOXO
