Passion vs. Practicality: Balancing Dreams and Realities
“Dream big — but remember dreams without goals are just dreams, and they ultimately fuel disappointment.” Denzel Washington
I remember asking my daughter after she graduated from high school what her short term and long term plans were. Like millions of other teenagers she shared her passion for music and said she wanted to audition for American Idol, win, get a record contract, and live a lavish lifestyle like Beyonce AND plan b was to be a social media star making millions like Mr. Beast. After a lot of reading and therapy I tried to support her, but there needs to be a balance between pursing your passions, dream, and realities. It’s a dilemma that many of us grapple with at some point in our lives. As a firm believer in the power of pursuing one’s passion, I understand firsthand the challenges and the importance of finding a balance between passion and practicality.
Passion is a remarkable force that propels us forward, fuels our creativity, and fills our lives with purpose. When we pursue our passions, we tap into a source of inspiration and enthusiasm that drives us to overcome obstacles and reach new heights. Our passions ignite a fire within us, compelling us to pour our hearts and souls into our chosen pursuits.
