Dreaming Vs. Living

Let me fist start off by saying that everyone has the right to choose what kind of lifestyle they wish to live. If you want to travel around the world and never own anything, or if you want to own 15 houses that is fine. Any lifestyle you choose is ok as long as you are OK with who you are. A lot of people are not Ok with who they are. A lot of people aspire to be rich and famous and always fall short.

If you choose to aspire to be rich and famous then you cannot expect that it will be an easy thing to obtain. Many people today in America assume that they can get rich quick or get away with not working. This is simply not true. At some point you must either work or win the lottery. So much time is wasted in some cases on get rich quick schemes that a lot of time is lost that could have been spent achieving realistic goals.

Lots of people have dreams and you should never give up your dreams. But at some point you must come to the realization that you will never be famous or really rich by just sitting around. So you might as well start working and suck it up.

So many people are afraid to get stuck in a job and provide for themselves successfully for a number of years. They are afraid that they will become like there parents god forbid and have to work for 40 years at the same job and provide for their families. They all want to be like the rich and famous people they see on TV. They keep hoping that they will be rappers, rockstars and actors.

99% of the time this will not be the case and in the other cases these goals will be attained by hard work. You can't just sit around and become famous and rich.

Work must be done to achieve goals.
