Patience, Purposeful Action, and Faith: The True Path to Your Dreams
Keep going. Keep trusting. Keep acting, gently and bravely, in the direction of your dreams.
We live in a world that promises us instant everything: same-day delivery, on-demand programming and information, quick likes and even quicker dopamine hits.
So when it comes to our big dreams, whether it’s a new career, a promotion, a new home, a meaningful relationship, a bucket-list vacation, waiting can feel downright unbearable.
Let’s be real: waiting is hard.
And it’s not just because we’re impatient people; it’s biology. Our nervous system craves certainty and control. So when life asks us to wait, to linger in the “not yet”, our brain often sounds the alarm. We feel restless, anxious, maybe even like giving up.
But here’s the gentle truth: Patience is not punishment. It’s preparation.
Those seasons of delay and stillness are often the fertile ground where resilience, clarity, and confidence take root.
The promotion you’re eager for might be aligning with the perfect mentor or project to stretch your leadership skills.
The job you’re dreaming of might need you to grow in ways you don’t even see yet.
The house you crave might appear when you’re truly ready to make it a home.
That relationship you long for might unfold when you are deeply connected with your truest self.
And while patience matters, so does purposeful action.
Not pushing or frantic hustling but small, steady steps rooted in trust. If you’re in the waiting stage, begin taking intentional, purposeful action.
Ask for that stretch assignment at work.
Have the conversation with your manager about your goals for that promotion.
Polish up your résumé and your LinkedIn profile.
Go to a few open houses.
Say yes to the dinner party or group hike where you might meet someone amazing.
Book a little getaway while you plan for that big dream vacation.
I’ve seen people land promotions they thought were impossible, simply because they asked for feedback and then acted on it consistently.
I know people who:
Got two job offers within days of each other, after six months of applying and interviewing;
Met their partner at a casual neighborhood barbecue they almost skipped.
Sold a house and bought a new one in less than four weeks, after wanting to for 15 years. (That someone is me!)
Let all those examples be your reminder.
✨ Patience + meaningful action + faith = your dreams, right on time. ✨
And above all, believe you are worthy of your dreams and that life’s timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t match your own.
💫 Keep going. Keep trusting. Keep acting, gently and bravely, in the direction of your dreams. Your future self is already so grateful.
