Dealing with Big Ambitions without Getting Discouraged

When we have big ambitions, the gap between where we are and where we want to be can feel overwhelming. Here are some tips on how to manage that gap. When we have been ambitions and are frustrated by how far away they feel, well-meaning friends or counsellors may suggest that we lower our standards or set smaller goals. But that never works. Our dreams and ambitions are what keep us going. They are what get us up in the morning. We have to take them seriously and honour them if we want to feel alive. If we are going to do that, we have to learn how to be people with big dreams that we have not yet accomplished. In this short bonus episode, Kate Arms offers some practical tips for feeling better about progress towards ambitious goals.
