The Seeds of Your Dreams

Do you treat your dreams as a seed?

When I think about seeds, I picture the potential they have to share with the world…. whether it be a gorgeous flower or the yummiest vegetable.

Do you think about what is waiting to “grow” in your life?

A better career, a healthier lifestyle, more travel??

Do you nurture it?

Give it focus and act on it?

I find when I begin to act on a new area of growth in my life, I get all excited… then it happens.

I begin to compare my growth to others. “Ugh… I’m not as far along, why am I even trying. I don’t even know what I’m doing… ????”

When you decide to change your financial situation, the same thing happens. We each have our own unique money story, our own journey with finances.

Personally mine has been nothing short of a roller coaster. I have had to start over financially so many times!!! I’ve had some highs and then the lows that followed. Usually those lows had to do with other decisions I was making in my life. Decisions that I knew HAD to be made. Choices that were right for my heart, my sanity… but not for my bank accounts.

It’s so easy to become frustrated with money when you know its a necessary change or decision but looking back it…
