Resumen del Editor

Not quite where you expected to be? You’re in good company. Now the bestselling author of Own Your Everyday helps you navigate unmet expectations, waiting, and uncertainty with confidence and clarity.

“If you are like me and need practical steps, hard-won wisdom, and a friend to help lead the way into a new season of promise, this redirection resource is what you need.”—Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

Jordan Lee Dooley knows firsthand how frustrating it can be when you almost achieve a goal, almost reach a dream, and almost get to where you want to be, only to land just short of the finish line or watch it all fall apart at the last minute.

Unmet expectations have a way of making us rethink everything. But perhaps rethinking dreams is not always the worst thing. Why? Because it’s in those moments, when you’re not where you expected to be, that you have a chance to pause and consider what matters most to you as well as redefine what success looks like for you in a world that’s constantly telling you what you should want or should do.

Believe it or not, it is possible to cultivate a life you really like—and one where you can succeed—in the tension of the middle, between where you started and where you hoped to be. Discover:

• Practical steps to move forward when your plans don’t go according to plan
• How to clarify which goals are right for you to pursue
• What to do when dreams seem to come true for everyone but you
• The unexpected gains that can arise from unwanted pain
• How to know when it’s time to let go of a dream—and what to do with the space left behind

Life is filled with unmet expectations, disrupted dreams, uncertainty, and in-between seasons. As hard as those experiences may be, they also offer a unique invitation to align your dreams and goals with what matters most. Learn how you can gain greater clarity about what you truly want, why you want it, and how to begin pursuing it.

A book with REAL life stories

This was such a raw and moving book. The author does not sugar coat the realities of life. She did a great job of keeping it honest and being encouraging at the same time. If you’re going through a trial or you have goals for yourself, this book is for you.

Another wonderful book by Jordan

I follow Jordan on social media so I am familiar with some of these items happening that are discussed. But there is so much more that she gives us. I like the game plan idea of the boot camp. Even focusing on a few things a day as we try to mentally work through and get passed a hard time in our lives. I continue to look forward to Jordan releasing more books.

Heartwork

I really enjoyed listening to this - exactly what I needed. Thank you for sharing your story Jordan.

Good

It was good. For someone who isn’t too into the judeo-Christian outlook, just changing “god” to “the gods” it had a lot of good insight,

So great!

Jordan is such a story-stealing queen. Her conversational writing is so appealing and easy to understand while also being deeply full of content. She’s so helpful in this writing in sharing life experiences and giving the best advice.

So encouraging

I feel like a need to buy this book in paperback so I can highlight all the amazing nuggets of wisdom. I loved hearing Jordan read it and have soo many notes. What an encouragement and beautiful reminder of how God uses every season and in between of our lives

Wow, absolutely amazing

I absolutely loved this book, it’s a must read for any woman! I felt like I read this book exactly at the right time and made me feel like I’m not alone in my waiting season. Jordan has a way of writing that makes me feel like we’re talking over coffee and her stories are so relatable. I can’t recommend this book enough!

LOVE!

I’ve read this book a few times now. I loved the audio version of it this time around. Listened to the entire book in a day.

Embrace Your Almost such a great title

I loved this book. I appreciated the concept to celebrate others as they are doing amazing when they are getting the things I wanted for me. Then turning around and trying again and celebrating my "Almost" without being totally defeated. Dooley really puts the disappointment out there and helps the reader handle it. Thanks..

Perfect for someone battling infertility

I felt like I was talking to a friend who really understood. Finished this book in two days. Brought a lot of peace and clarity and renewed hope.
