Why You Should Give Up on Your Dreams
Dreams.
We all have them.
Some of us want to be movie stars. Some of us want to be musicians, or writers. Some of us want to be teachers, or doctors, or lawyers.
Or maybe, your dream is to not do anything at all, but to live life sitting on a beach with a fruity drink in your hand.
Dreams come in all shapes and sizes, and almost no two are alike. Even if two people share a desire to become an astronaut, then it’s quite likely they will have very different reasons and motivations.
We begin to dream at a young age, with each of us receiving varying levels of support from friends and family. Nevertheless, we all grow up with something— whether it’s spoken aloud and acknowledged, or a secret kept inside and hidden from the world, and possibly yourself — that we desperately hope of becoming, doing, or achieving in our future.
In the end, though, the sad truth is that many — probably even most — of us never see those dreams come to fruition.
Instead, we live our lives hoping that our deep desires will someday come true, all while feeling stuck or trapped in the job/marriage/home/etc. that you end up feeling like you “settled” for.
