Stop Pursuing Other People’s Dreams

And instead, live life your way.

Rich, famous, popular, powerful, with big houses and fast cars, luxury, wealth, abundance, carefree and success.

These are just some of the ‘life goals’ and dreams we are sold and told we should strive for.

But are they really what you want?

For some, yes.

Most definitely they want to live the Hollywood experience. A lifestyle of the rich and famous is exactly what they want, and more.

But for the rest of us regular, ‘normal’ human beings, I feel our REAL life goals are much more humble.

A happy, healthy family. Enough food on the table. Financially secure enough to enjoy a comfortable life. And with enough free time to spend with the people you love.

To me, that’s much more appealing than the ‘lavish’ life.

So, let’s stop chasing the goals we’re told we should care about. Let’s stop pursuing other people’s dreams.

And instead let’s focus on living a life of happiness and contentment, doing the things we love to do regardless of whether or not it boosts our bank balance, social status or material wealth.

Thanks for reading.
