You're pursuing big goals.

Whether those goals are to have a beach house in Hawaii, to bring your kids on vacation, or to feel like you can pay your bills comfortably, you know that when you reach those goals you're going to feel amazing.

But what about right now?

Most of us who are pursuing big goals are willing to sacrifice a lot to get there. But if you're trying to reach your goals at any cost you have to stop and consider if you're sacrificing too much.

If you're sacrificing being truly happy right now in exchange for the belief that:

Someday, when I reach my goals, I'll be happier

I recently came to this realization so in today's episode, we're talking about how to be happier today while still pursuing your big dreams.
