Millennials get knocked for having big dreams. As if having goals, plans, and wanting to do something significant with your life is a personality flaw.
Millennials want to live on purpose with purpose.
How’s this a bad thing?
Staying optimistic, even as all the “reality checkers” are telling you “that won’t work”, is something to be commended – not scoffed at.
Yet, there is a problem.
There is something that will keep you from ever seeing those dreams come to fruition.
There is a problem that we need to understand and overcome if we’re going to make our big dreams a reality.
Here is The Problem to Pursuing Our Dreams
Your big dreams aren’t the problem. Your timeline is.

As I first wrote in 101 Secrets For Your Twenties,
“Our big dreams aren’t the problem. Our crazy timeline of how quickly we want those plans and dreams to be sitting on our doorstep with a big Christmas bow is the problem.”
For me personally, I thought the red carpet was going to be rolled out on Day 33 of life in my 20s when God had that penciled in for Day 2,333.
You know, for when I was actually ready for it.
God has His timeline for your life. You have your timeline for your life. Some of the time those match—like on that one Tuesday in February, three years ago. But most of the time they don’t.
We could try and hold tight to the uncontrollable, gripping the details of our lives like a five-year-old trying to walk a rhinoceros.
Or we can let them go and do their thing. We can drop our dreams deep into the ground and water them with creativity, consistency, and patience.
Don’t let your timeline blow up the timeline that needs to happen.
