My dreams for the years to come
I’ve always been a person with big dreams. But you have
to put into consideration that, that could be all that it ever becomes, nothing
but a dream. And that’s something I always figured, was not to keep my hopes up
for something that is so hard to achieve. Like when I was a kid, I wanted to be
a professional bmx biker. But that’s beyond my capabilities, and it’s the same
thing as when a few years ago I wanted to go pro as a mountain biker. Dreams
are great to have. It’s nice to dream big, but you also have to be a realist.
Life isn’t going to give you all that you want, especially if you don’t work at
it. Going pro as a mountain biker would be amazing, but why make a hobby a job?
When you do something as a job it kind of takes the fun out of it. Not saying
that is always the case, but it is a times. So I have set my sights on something
more realistic, and that is to become a therapist for people who feel like they
just need a friend and someone to talk to. I’m a very easy person to talk to. I
will speak what I think is best for someone, not what they want to hear. But I won’t
do it as a jerk, I just want people to look at things other than how they want
to. It is the best way to help people face their problems. And that’s something
I enjoy doing, helping people. And it will be a good way to support my family
and give them a good life. 
I totally agree with everything you've said here. Having your hobbies and your job separate can be a good idea because you can do what you love on the side and then focus on professionalism in your career field. I also agree with the idea of balance between dreaming and realism. Dreaming big can be a beautiful thing, but also setting realistic goals is rewarding.
ReplyDeleteI'm writing a lot here, but I am wanting to be a psychologist or a therapist myself. I've been to therapy, and it is such a wonderful way to express yourself and not have any filters on what you are saying. I don't care what I do in the future, as long as I help people.
Keep doing what you love!

"Dreams are free," or so my dad always told me. I understand where you’re coming from about being a realist rather than an idealist. I personally, am a big picture thinker, an idealist, a dreamer. Sometimes it’s a good thing, and other times it is bad. I also relate with your comment about not wanting to make a hobby a job. I really wanted to work at Qudoba, but I was afraid it would ruin it for me.
