A Nugget For The Discouraged

Remember when your little one was born and you marveled at his teeny tiny feet as you counted all of his perfect little toes?  For some reason, baby feet are an obsession of many women (myself included).  We want pictures of them.  We want to look at them and touch them.  Little baby feet seem to hold a world of possibilities for where they'll travel in the future.

Now fast forward 13 years....those feet are no longer small.  They are gargantuan.  They are no longer sweet-smelling....they're awful.  They're no longer wonderful to look at....they are dirty and calloused.  Still, they hold a world of possibilities.

The point in all of this is that sometimes the way that a "dream" looks changes a bit.  It doesn't change the long term goal or outcome but it changes the way it looks on the way.  Sometimes it looks a bit messy and calloused but it's still the same dream.

Just a bit of a thought if you're feeling discouraged.
