When was the last time you did something that you really dreamed about? If you’re struggling to remember any instance like this, it could be time to make a change in your life and follow your own path. When we’re young, we’re told that we can be whatever we want to be but as we get older, the dreams we made in our youth can often be shoved to the wayside in order to make way for responsibility and practicality. After a few years in the workforce, we might feel our individual dreams to be foolish or silly and soon, we could give them up entirely.
Following your dreams is something that should never be too silly, nor too impractical and no matter what they might be, it’s in your best interests to do what it is that really makes you, you. Want to make a better life for yourself? It’s time to listen to your heart.

No one else in the world has the power to live your life, except for you. There might be naysayers and concerned friends but if something feels right to you, it is in your own best interests to follow it through to the end. People calling out your dreams as stupid or dangerous are often just projecting their own internal fears onto what you do. You’re the one dealing with any consequences. It’s up to you what you do.

Something magical happens when people call you out on your dreams; you shine. In the face of resistance, it is human nature to want to prove naysayers wrong and the more that people don’t believe in your dream, the harder you are likely to work in order to make it. The dream doesn’t work out? It doesn’t matter. The lessons you have learned along the way and the creativity you have developed will feed you much further into the future.

Have you ever met anyone else with the same dreams as you? The chances are that they’re out there and better yet, they might be going through exactly the same things as you are. Following a dream project or adventure is a great way of meeting likeminded people and expanding your cultural horizons. The more diverse the circle of people you are surrounded by, the more inspired you might be to make a change in your life.
