Question for you, do you feel like you're behind compared to where you thought you were going to be at this point in your life?

That's a rhetorical question because, of course you have. We all have. And that's what today's spiritual perspective episode is about.

We're going to unpack how to deal with unfulfilled dreams. And if you're in that place right now where you feel like you're behind everybody else or just behind your own personal goals for yourself, I'm going to give you language and context to help you make sense of whichever twists and turns you may be experiencing right now.

And an understanding where it's all coming from is going to help you to move past whatever obstacles you may see that are standing in between

where you are right now and where you ultimately want it to be.

And we're also going to go through a step-by-step process for navigating those obstacles

and talk about why it's important not to count yourself out too quickly.

But before we get into it, my name is Light Watkins.

I've been in the meditation and mindfulness space for over 30 years, believe it or not.

I started this channel to help give you context to real world situations, but all through

a broad spiritual lens, which I call the 30,000 foot view as opposed to the ground level or more surface level

understanding of these same topics.

Okay, so let's get into it.

Why do we feel behind sometimes when it comes to our unfulfilled dreams?

Okay, so right off the bat, this subject immediately makes me think of something that a former

colleague of mine used to say in response to someone

who would talk about their unfulfilled dreams or whatever goals they had yet to achieve or any

situation that had taken a dramatic turn and they would start jumping to conclusions about what it all

meant or maybe this is a sign that they're doing the wrong thing and And he would just say, hold on, hold on, just keep the camera rolling.

Don't call cut yet.

And his point was, we never know where we are in our own story.

We never know which section of our unique path we happen to be on.
