It’s the gap between what you dreamed of and what you have.
Maybe you have less than what you dreamed. Maybe you have more…but ultimately it didn’t give what you the reality you were hoping for.
Either way there’s a gap. None of us dream with accuracy. (And accuracy isn’t the point of the dream)
So what do we do with the gap?
Embrace that there is a gap. Talk about it, write about it, be sad about it, be honest about it. And also be thankful that the dream helped you get this far.
Perhaps the purpose of the dream isn’t to be attained but to help us keep going. And keeping going is a priceless gift.
