The fact is that you are already in the process of working towards your dreams because you are working toward what you want. You aren’t in a place of “I’m going to get there by X date,” or “I’m going to get there by Y date.” You are working towards a goal.
If you are working towards something that you want, you will work towards it. If you are working towards something that you don’t want, then you will ignore it. If you are working towards something that you should be doing, then you will do it. The key is to make sure that you are working towards something you are interested in.
