“Follow Your Dream”

Everyone says, “Follow your dreams” but not everyone truly follows their own advice. The pursuit for money is almost directly linked to the pursuit of happiness. Many allow the promises of money making to blindly lead them through their life.  This in some cases may not work out to your benefit.  Generally speaking, children in todays society are raised to believe that success means a high paying job, a big house with a family of kids and a spouse, having a nice car and the occasional vacation.  Despite this image, many have yet to realize that this may not be the lifestyle that will be the most gratifying and “successful” in their eyes.

No one wants to be stuck in a miserable career that makes you feel like your life is going to waste.  Time is a valuable thing, so it might be best to follow your passion and not the paper trail.   Think about what you value most in life: is it helping others? Is it belonging to something greater than you? Is it making a difference? Is it building a family? Is it individuality? Etc. etc. Think about what kinds of career options align with your values and principles.  Understand the kind of lifestyle you want to be a part of. 

If you aren’t going to be motivated to do what you are doing then you should take action and find something that truly interests you.  At the end of the day, you will feel more fulfilled and satisfied with your life especially when your career consumes the majority of your life as it often does.
