Discover what you really want in a world that says you should want to have it all. Crush it at your career. Enjoy a fun single life. Also hurry up and find your person. Have babies. Be a good mom. Drink a gallon of water. Exercise daily. Make good money. Buy a nice house. Show up to that gathering. Help your neighbors. Call your mom. Do all the things. We live in a culture that tells women we can have it all and that we should pursue all of it. Everywhere we turn, there's yet another message telling us to go for the gold, seize the day, and take over the world. It's true that more options are available to us today than at any point in history. But as a result, so many of us don't know what we truly want. While the dreams we pursue tend to be worthy ones, even the most motivated people don't accomplish every goal they set or reach every milestone by the time they thought they would. Fortunately, landing almost shy of a goal is not the end of the road. Sometimes, our frustrating (and even painful) setbacks can be the very experiences that set us up for success in the right things for us. When plans go awry or the future seems uncertain, you might feel discouraged or discontent. But there's a unique opportunity when thigs don't go as planned. In fact, the in-betweens and waiting seasons can provide a vital opportunity to pause and clarify what success looks like for you in a world that's constantly telling you what you should do. Learn how you can make your "almosts" work for you.
