When you know that there’s something greater calling you, it can be difficult to be at peace and at your best in the place where you are now. This is particularly the case, when you’re in a challenging work environment and you’ve been beyond “over it” for some time.  Your dream of a job or a business that provides you with the freedom, meaning, money, etc. that you desire may be whispering to you daily.

But before you mentally check out of the place where you currently stand, I want you to know the fastest route to something better is full acceptance of where you are.

So, yes, hold on to your dream for a career that feels aligned and whole. As a matter of fact, I’ll dream with you. I’ll even stand as your personal dream architect and help you draft the plans.

But don’t fight against your now while you wait for your next.

Know that it is possible to relax into where you are and to avail yourself to what life has to offer in this moment — even as you dream.

The spirit of acceptance allows you to gracefully transition into the spirit of receiving. Whereas resistance will only rob you of your energy and your joy.

So, do whatever you need to do to say, “Yes” to where you are and if you’re really feeling daring, add a little gratefulness. Acceptance sprinkled with gratitude is the most potent fertilizer available to help you to grow your dreams.
