First of all, abandon a dream only if it has lost all meaning and purpose to you, never simply because you are experiencing difficulty, adversity or complications. I have found that I often undergo the toughest challenges just before I'm about to cross the critical threshold between struggle and success. So many women quit too soon just before the payoff of their investment. You always have the best answers within you, so learn to hear that small, still voice. Start to ask for answers and expect to receive them.
Most people prefer the security and safety of the familiar.
What's interesting is that we'd like things to improve and stay the way they are, and that can't happen. To get better, things must change and that's difficult because it means something must end. Remember that every ending is a new beginning. Alter your daily routine, take a detour when you're out walking or jogging, rearrange the furniture, drive a different route to work, order some unusual foods in a restaurant, listen to classical or gospel music if that's not your usual choice, or start a new hobby. Be open to new ideas.
