Just because it's called a "dream" doesn't mean it will happen overnight. Wake up, put in the work, and don't quit. You never know when the tipping point is going to hit for your success.
There's only one thing in life you can control, and that's how you handle all the other sh*t that happens to you. Let go of everything else. It'll fall into place as it's meant to.
Think of your life as a keyboard: Every skill you have is a letter. On their own they won't do much for you, but use them together in the right order and you can tell a story. You hold the keys to your own success. Use them.
You can't skip around to your favorite parts in life, you have to stick with it from beginning to end, taking the bad with the good. When that gets exhausting, hit the pause button, catch your breath, and come back stronger.
