Re-framing Goals, Dreams and Passions

Are we there yet? This is a phrase existing for as long as there has been children and vehicles. It's a repetitive saying that usually creates a negative emotional response.

I don't know about you, but for the longest time I had that same thought and negative emotional response going through my head In regards to my goals, dreams and passions.

I was constantly looking outward instead of inward. The funny thing is that I realized that I was already there in many aspects of my life when I changed my vantage point.

Breakthrough goals:

Appreciate your current situation that you may be in and know the only thing that matters is your response.
Realize that you will constantly say "am I there yet" if you don't really know where you currently are.
Take some time and reflect on your current vantage point and appreciate where you currently are.

"You'll be able to treat people very intensively and reverse the disease." The news provides no answers for adults living with HIV but it can be a landmark victory in the health of future generations. Every year, 300,000 to 400,000 babies are born infected with HIV according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases. The
