I think the theme that we have been working around here is that it takes work and it takes time. I wanted to share something that my dad taught me…

I was fresh out of the military and I was starting college to get my Psychology degree. Little did I know that my dad was going back to school as well - so I started a conversation with him.

Hey Dad - What classes are you taking?I am just taking one class at a timeDad, that’s going to take you 10 years to graduate!!!!

My dad responded - Yes it is, but ten years are going to pass...

I can either have the degree after those ten years, or ten years will pass and I will be right where I am now - I am choosing to have a degree.

What are you going to choose?

What are you going to do with your dreams?

It may take one course at a time for you - but keep plugging away! You can do this, you got this!
