When was that moment that made you feel like you finally are moving forward towards your goal?


What about that opportunity that you will be forever thankful for?

@Optimisticempath Thank you for your reply! I love reading other people's experiences. I hope that you get to experience that moment in your life. It is a fantastic thing.

I certainly did! I recently decided to return to school for the nursing program after a 10-year hiatus. I failed my first attempt at attending college due to mental struggles. Through that, I developed a fear of failure and decided that I was not going to college again. Then one day, I looked at myself in the mirror and decided to conquer that fear. I knew that my failure was part of a bigger plan and that I could not give up. I knew that with effort, I could achieve my goals.

I was concerned about balancing school and taking care of my children, and I did not have anyone to take care of them. But one day, I got a call from their school district that they had been accepted into the county's lottery program, where they were allowed to attend school before age five. Things began to fall in place, and it felt like that was my opportunity to give myself another chance and start studying!

Now I am on the President's List at my new university, and I not only want to become a Registered nurse but also attempt applying Medical School once I complete my bachelor's.

Thanks for sharing. Congratulations on momentum and forward movement. You hit on so many amazing key points if we just do not stop trying. Sometimes things fall into place but it seems like only after we try and we try, then we get a break, like with your kids. That was awesome. I post a lot here and it's been about a 14 day challenge FEAR of FAILURE. It's real and if I talk too much about it, I'll get anxious again. My 14 day challenge was all about subduing this intense sense of dread and doom (fear of failure). I do not want to hex anything here but I think I broke most of my fear for my test in a few days.

Reading about how you conquered your fear and are flying positive really encoraged me this morning. Thanks and keep it going. Awesome😊

after being in recovery for a while my group therapy staff told me they wanted me to work with the staff and lead groups on my own and mentor other patients, which has never happened before. it made me realize how much progress i’ve made and i was so happy they trust me enough to let me do this

My post was removed, so, this time I better say that I never had this moment.

A moment that made me feel like I was finally moving forward towards my goal was when I was able to do something that in the past I had not been able to. In this case it was waiting in line for security at the airport (in the past I was using a wheelchair) and for me at that moment in time it felt extremely empowering to be waiting with everyone else. It reminded me that even when things seem really hopeless that things can change and you never know what the future holds!
