Each man should frame life so that at some future hour fact and his dreaming meet.

Wanting something and building toward it are separate activities, and it is easy to keep them separate for years. The point of a hope is that it eventually touches ground somewhere, on a particular day, in work you actually did. That means arranging the ordinary parts of your life so they lean in the direction of the thing you say you want.

Look at how your next month is already committed and ask which of it serves the thing you are hoping for. If none of it does, move one commitment. Convergence happens by small alignments, not by a single leap.
