The frustration of pursuing a dream can be so overwhelming.  Heck, it's downright maddening sometimes!  Every now and then I just feel like throwing myself on the ground and kicking, screaming, and crying the way I did when I was little!  

Sometimes...

I don't feel like being patient.

I don't want to keep working so hard.

I get furious when I can't understand why things are happening the way they are.

I feel like quitting.

I don't want to ask God to help me.

I want to do things my way.

I want to blame others.

I want to rush the timeline.

I want to beat myself up for mistakes I've made.

I don't want to hear and accept the truth.

If my dream is important to me...

I will be patient.

I will hustle, work hard, and ask God to help me move mountains.

I will trust God's plan and His timing.

I will not quit, no matter what.

I will call on God to help me get through it.

I will thank Him for the abundance of blessings He pours on my life.

I will allow Him to lead me and will not attempt to control everything.

I will shut Satan down when he attacks and will not allow him to throw me off track.

I will be accountable for my actions and responses to people and situations.

I will not blame others.

I will forgive myself and learn from mistakes.

I will not be wrapped up in problems but will move forward, constantly trying to improve.

I will use the bricks Satan throws at me to build a firm foundation.

I now have a new job title.  I'm a bricklayer!
