What do you want out of life? Do you have a dream about what your "perfect" job would be? Do you know what your "perfect" life looks like? There is no such thing as perfection in this world because the world itself is imperfect. Your ideal job and the life you want is out there, you just have to go out there and do your thing.
That dream you have about wanting to own your own business, or be a lawyer, or a professor, or an author, or whatever you want to be is there for you. That dream you have is no dream because a dream is simply something that lives in your mind. A dream is something you talk about with other people and live in a state of mind thinking its going to happen because you fantasize about that life and job. Turn that dream into a goal. A goal is something you shoot for. To achieve that goal one should set up guidelines or steps you plan to take. An example of this is lets say you want to be a doctor. You should ask yourself why you want to be a doctor. If your answer is something like because someone told you that you have to like your parents, or that everyone else you are related to is a doctor then that goal is not your goal. That goal has to come from inside yourself, it has to come from your own soul. Once you look inside yourself and at the core of your being you believe you should be a doctor then go for it. Plan out the goal by setting up your steps you wish to take. Since you now know your goal then now is the time to do research. Research is needed to determine what needs to be done and what type of doctor you want to be. Once you do your research then now is the time to act. You will need schooling, so then enroll in classes and do your best. During these classes you should be studying, working with the professor to make sure you are on the right path, learning from your mistakes and giving your best effort. The world is full of opportunity, you just have to be willing to take it.
A goal is something to shoot for. Because you are going for something does not mean that you will get what you are looking for. You will fail, struggle, feel a bit sad, but do not lay down and call it quits. You are better than that, you are strong and whatever you seek is out there. This goal of yours that is at the core of your being is a journey that is unpredictable, fun, good, bad, extraordinary, terrifying, and just a bit of everything. You owe it to yourself to write your story your own way, you owe it to yourself to see go through each chapter and see how your own story ends.
