Life’s Worst Nightmare: When Dreams Have No Plan
Have you ever felt stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed… yet couldn’t explain why?
You're not alone.
More often than not, this feeling comes from something deeper—something I call life’s worst nightmare:
Having big dreams… with no specific plan to achieve them.
You want to quit your draining job and start a business,
But you're not taking daily steps to make it happen.
You want to change careers,
But you’re still juggling two jobs with no real exit strategy.
You want a new home,
But your credit is untouched and there’s no deposit fund in sight.
You want love and companionship,
But your calendar has no room for new connections.
You want to move, start fresh, find purpose,
But you’ve yet to sit down and map it out.
You know your Creator gave you a gift, something unique, something powerful.
But you stay distracted, pouring energy into everything except your mission.
Meanwhile, time marches on…
And those doors of opportunity? They start to close.
That restlessness, that tension in your chest, that mental fatigue.
It’s the weight of unfulfilled purpose. The ache of knowing there’s more, but not moving toward it.
Believe me, I know this feeling all too well.
For those of us who dream big, who believe we’re meant to serve, lead, or create impact,
Our spirit will not rest.
Our inner storm won’t calm.
Not until we take intentional steps, no matter how small, toward our calling.
So what do we do?
1. Set Clear Goals
Write your dreams down. Get specific. Narrow your focus to one big goal that you can pour into.
2. Break It Into 3 Big Steps
What are the core milestones?
What do you need?
Who can help you?
And most importantly, what’s your deadline?
3. Take One Step Every Day
One page a day = a book in a year.
$50 a week = savings in the thousands.
One email, one conversation, one connection at a time, momentum builds.
The longer you put it off, the more restless you’ll become.
Like a boat drifting in a storm with no destination,
You’ll keep rising and falling with every wave…
Happy one day, discouraged the next.
It’s time to stop the cycle.
Evaluate your life. Reconnect with your dreams. Then plan beautifully.
Because dreams without a plan?
That’s life’s worst nightmare.
Choose clarity. Choose action. Choose peace.
Have a safe and purposeful week,
