If you're feeling stuck, or like you're in "the wilderness" of life, let this episode be an encouragement to you. It's not too late to dream big! You Might Be a Late Bloomer, writes David Brooks in The Atlantic. Paul shares his thoughts on being a late bloomer and how to keep forward momentum on your dreams no matter your age.
One way is to see obstacles in your way, rather than issues to be solved, maybe they are polarities to be managed. There's a whole philosophy called Polarity Management that can help you balance living in the now while also having big dreams for the future.
If/when you hit the wilderness, just keep moving forward. In a previous episode of the Next Simple Step podcast, Paul interviewed Luke Lefevre. Luke describes the wilderness as a necessary part of doing Holy Work.
What work do you need to do to achieve your dream? Take the next simple step today!
