Q. How do you deal with late dreams when you are still working on your original dream?

A. It is never too late to realize a dream if you are still alive and breathing. My suggestion to you would be simply – JUST DO IT!!  Stop making excuses and work in tandem with the other demands of life.  I would set goals, take one small step each day, and celebrate your accomplishments - even the small ones. Procrastination and fear I would say are the biggest obstacles that you must overcome.  These both can be overcome by building your confidence through God’s word and getting at least one accountability partner to hold you to the fire in working toward your dreams.  It would be ideal if that person also has a dream they are working towards so that the accountability would work in both directions.  If you just put one foot in front of the other before you know it, you will be walking through the door of your very own personal success story.  Then you can reach back and inspire others to do the same!
