#1: Not all dreams are impossible
Okay, so there will be those dreams that are pretty much unachievable. If you have ever wanted to marry a prince, ride on a unicorn, or fly to the moon, then you might never get the opportunity. This is especially true if you are still holding out on the hope that unicorns might be true! However, not all dreams are pipe dreams. If there are places in the world that you are desperate to visit, you should start making an effort to save your money. If you have ever wanted to master a musical instrument, you could hire a tutor or take an online course akin to Piano in 21 Days. And if you have ever wanted to become famous, perhaps now is the time to get started, perhaps by beginning that book you have always wanted to write, or taking acting classes, or whatever else it will take to get you noticed.
So, think about your dreams. If they are achievable, start to make them happen, in whatever way necessary.
#2: You aren’t getting any younger
Sorry, but it’s true. You aren’t getting any younger, and if you continue to hold off on following your dreams, you might one day be unable to achieve them, especially if you have fallen prey to certain age-related health issues. So, while you still have your health on your side, and while you still have the capacity to work on making your dreams a reality, start to make a plan now. You might only regret it if you don’t, especially when you’re past retirement age and looking back on a life with dreams unfulfilled.
#3: You will enjoy life on a greater level
Let’s face it; life can sometimes be a chore. We go to work, pay the bills, manage our households, and take care of the needs of others. Entire weeks and months can go by without much thought towards making ourselves happier. But as we only have one life (open to debate), we should make more of an effort to pursue those dreams that could help us enjoy life more. Even when we’re in the planning stages, our mundane routines will become less intolerable when we have something to look forward to. And when we do get to live out our dreams, we will start to enjoy life on a greater level, whether we’re living the life of a movie star, relaxing on a sun-soaked beach, or (and if they do actually exist) riding on the back of a flying unicorn!
So, don’t put off following your dreams forever. Do what you need to do to turn them into a reality, as you will be proud of yourself once you do.
Take care, and thanks for reading!
