230 || [Solo] How Messy Action Gives You Permission to Get Started on Your Dream || Merritt Onsa

Do you ever wonder if you’ll ever get past the novice stage of dreaming?

Dreams don’t happen overnight, but appearances are deceiving. What you see when you look at someone else’s dream from the outside is the result of years invested in learning, refining, healing, practicing, failing and getting back up to try again. But you’ll never get to witness the years of that person’s wilderness experience, which is why it is futile to compare yourself to where someone is in their journey.

IF YOU’VE EVER WONDERED HOW TO GET PAST THE MESSY MIDDLE OF A DREAM, THIS IS THE EPISODE FOR YOU!

This week I’m sharing:

  • A checklist of easy-to-accomplish first steps to help you take action this week

  • The transformation one of my coaching clients has experienced in the first three weeks of coaching

  • What must happen first before a dream can begin to blossom and show fruit

When you’re first pursuing a dream, it is hard to imagine success. How do you get past the novice stage full of mixed-up ideas spinning around in your head? How do you get over fear-induced procrastination? How do you get to the finish line?

It’s by taking the next step, which is often messy and imperfect. But you don’t get to skip this part. That would be like saying yes to a marriage proposal from a strange man who just walked up to you on the street. You’d never do that, because it’s those months and years of getting to know one another that solidify a marriage that will stand the test of time and interpersonal conflict.

Your dream matters and you can begin to walk in it. And when you do, you will be amazed with what God does through your small steps of faithfulness to His calling upon your life.
