Über dieses Buch

An earlier dream may have given you hope, discipline, identity, and a reason to continue through difficult years. Now the same ambition no longer fits, but letting it go feels like betraying the person who believed in it or admitting that all the effort was wasted. The Dream You Have Outgrown explores how to recognize when an important aspiration has completed its work in your story. William R. Stanek shows you how to honor what the dream provided without allowing it to govern every future decision. You will identify the skills, relationships, convictions, and strength worth carrying forward while acknowledging what no longer belongs. Ending an aspiration does not require declaring it foolish. Sometimes the most faithful way to respect an earlier dream is to understand what it gave you and permit it to end.
