An elephant is a big project, goal or dream that might be overwhelming you.

My elephant: recipe updates to every single recipe on the $5 Dinners website. That was about 2500 recipes my friend! A giant elephant.

But guess what? My team and I are taking it one bite, and one recipe at a time! We have a plan and we are going to accomplish this huge task!

It's pretty easy to look back and see that you've accomplished a long list of things over a big period of time.

What's challenging is seeing the day-to-day accomplishments. It's hard to see it when you're in the moment.

Great words from the wall at my gym: "A dream is a goal with a deadline."

Goals need to be S-M-A-R-T:

• Specific
  
• Measurable
  
• Attainable
  
• Realistic
  
• Timely

Writing things down and keeping track of the bites you are taking is super important!

Have a dream. Make a plan. Set some deadlines. Start taking bites.

Think about the different goals and dreams you have for your life, and why you haven't done anything with them. Flip it into a positive that you CAN make it happen. Stop that inner monologue that's telling you it will just never happen.
