Career goals: Why you should put society on the back burner and go after your dreams

Dreams are a part of everyone's life. They are our goals, wishes, and wants in the world. Dreams are what we work hard for on one chosen profession to keep our lives moving forward and to give ourselves something to look forward to in the future. We as humans have many dreams, want and wish's in our lives, this is what makes us all unique as an individuals and as a person.


Some of us live in a dream world, pretending to live what is not truly ours. We do this to make ourselves feel important to the world, and to feel better about our being on this planet. The ones whom have such big wishes in life are unable to accomplish our goals that we set fourth for ourselves. Is it due to lack of trying, lack of education or just being scared to finally accomplish what we really want in life? Sometimes its lack of money to start that dream business, and when it finally comes to pass greed gets in the way then takes over our judgement.
A lot of us tend to put ourselves in such a situation were we want something so badly but are unable to take the right paths in life in order to achieve those goals and standards that we seek in our life time. A lot of us who dream and try to pretend we are living our dreams in order to escape the realities of life or tries to put ourselves in a better situation than the situation we are already in.
Today's society dictates what we are all supposed to be or do. You need to be thin, you need a good paying job in order to be somebody in today's society and to fit in. You need to do what it takes to make things happen for you such as steal from others to accomplish your own goals in life. You need to have a higher education in order to land that perfect job etc.
All dictation to lower our standards in life and our self-esteem. Some of us strive to hard to be able to accomplish our dreams, wants and wishes because we are living someone else's lives, wants, and wishes and not our own. This puts our own lives in a rut, thus making a boring world as to working for others expectations instead of our own.
We are so pressured from societies way of thinking and their standards in life, that we forget about our own dreams, and muddle through life in a pretend world to make ourselves happy and to be able to feel important to ourselves then, to others as long as we do as is dictated to us. Putting our own wants, dreams and wishes that we set for ourselves aside and on the back burner. We do not live our own lives as individuals as God had intended us
