Your dream is the whole of your life and you have the whole of your life to make it happen.

It's hard to wait for something when there is no guarantee it will happen. Add to that a conviction that seeing it done is parcel to your very being—a divine mandate, an inner command—and, for you at least, it's kind of a big deal. 

This experience is a central aspect of dream building. It's the fear of slow.  

Doing the work your dream requires is actually the easy part. At least for me. I'm always happiest when I know what to do next, however tedious or difficult it might be. The hard part is the waiting. The hoping. The balancing of detachment and commitment. I live with the sense that I must not rest. I cannot wait. 

And yet sometimes that's exactly what my dream requires.

To live life fully you have to trust In the timing of things. It's inexplicable and maddening, but it's true. Using the time you have as wisely as possible is often the best you can do, even if it's only half an hour. 

If you're really following your dream and being true to the other vital details of your life, that half an hour will be enough. If you're really plugged in to who you are, what your part is in the great hum of the universe, then what needs to happen will happen and your dream will be achieved. 

Somehow. 

If you're like me, you'll never give up so that's not an issue. But if you're like me, the fear of slow might drive you insane along the way. 

Recognize that if your life is basically in balance and half an hour a day is all you can spare for your dream, then it's enough. The universe will do the rest. Remember that your dream is not that novel you're writing, your dream is the whole of your life and you have the whole of your life to make it happen. 

Ever forward.
