When should you stop chasing a dream?
It’s a hard question.

Especially when you’ve poured your heart into it, and have learned to believe that your life depends on it.

After my encounter with Bentinho Massaro at the airport a few weeks ago, I pondered his wise words.

Stop if you’re no longer present.
Stop if you're acting from pressure to succeed.

But don’t stop just because it’s hard.

Or slow.
Or uncertain.

Stay close to what’s true for you in the moment.
Follow your guidance from within.

If you’re deeply connected to your purpose, you will know when it’s time for a change.

And these are my takeaways:

📌 Don’t measure your dream by what it achieves.
📌 Measure it by how aligned you feel while doing it.
