Are You Living Your Own Dream or the Dreams Society Expects from You?

Changes make you grow.

Oftentimes, the unknown and uncertainty can provide you with possibilities to explore and grow out of your comfort zone. Otherwise, you are living in a predictable reality.

Most of us are conditioned to secure the future in a predictable way. In fact, children in some societies are already drawn to paths that are already built for them. They believe there is no choice other than to compete and win within these paths to secure their future. They are conditioned to believe that it is their own dream. Whether they win or they lose, this is their destiny.

But… Are we really born to dream of high degrees on the corporate ladder or to become a millionaire? Are our dreams merely of having big houses, supercars, and nice holidays?

If you look forward to a few weeks of holidays and getting that ultimate escape from reality because of overloaded work and stress, then it’s probably time to ask yourself whether you’ve been treading the same path as mentioned above.

Don’t be a prisoner of financial gain. You can’t always say there is no choice because there is. And some people have done it. They’ve chosen the road less traveled. They made their choices, and they’re living their “real dreams” instead of what society dreams for them.

The only way you can live your dream is by making a choice regardless of your fears and uncertainty. Every day, you have opportunities to make changes, one day at a time.

What paths are you treading today?
