art party business<\/a> and allow kids of all ages to explore the supplies and create something fun to take home with them.<\/p>\nNow that I have the dream, holding onto it\u00a0is worthless unless I\u00a0do something about it. No, I don’t have the space for something as grand as what I am picturing\u00a0right now, but I can start small. I do have a designated space in my home where I can\u00a0do my work and I am thankful for that.<\/p>\n
The important thing is to be doing something that is moving you closer to seeing the completion of your goal. Sometimes small steps are necessary just to keep you from going backwards or standing still.<\/p>\n
This is also a reminder for\u00a0me to think big. I tend to limit my thinking based on my current circumstances. My current setup looks nothing like what I am picturing my art library to be (except for the plastic containers and semi-organized supplies that are constantly being thrown around in the drawers), but it’s a start! I refuse to think small or dismiss ideas like this one just because it doesn’t feel like it could ever actually happen.<\/p>\n
What dreams do you have that feel like they are in complete contrast to your current situation? What steps are you taking towards that goal (even if they are small steps that feel insignificant)?<\/p>\n
Do something today to show yourself that you haven’t forgotten about the\u00a0dream. Don’t be\u00a0willing to let it die in complacency, fear, or self-pity!<\/p>\n
