“Giving up on dreams” is an oxymoron.

It makes no sense.

 

If you love doing something — why would you give it up?

Your life would have to force you to give it up, yes?

How does life force you to NOT do something?

If you must support yourself, then do. It doesn’t mean you must give up on something else.

 

This preposterous idea of having to give up on dreams, or conversely, having to sacrifice for your dreams, it’s rooted in the notion that your “dream” must be some kind of an achievement, some kind of an arrival.

There is no arrival.

There is only action.

It’s either something you want to do — or not.

Then you do it.

“Dream”?

What is dream?

You think the DREAM is something you don’t have.

It’s not.

The dream is to DO WHAT YOU LOVE.

YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU DO. LOVE WHAT YOU DO TO LOVE YOUR LIFE.

This is the dream.

 

And if life doesn’t let you do “whatever you want” all the time,

it certainly doesn’t prevent you from doing “whatever you want” some of the time.

Most of us agreed to sacrifice what they LOVE for the hopes of some achievement, some arrival, which would be the dawn of their completion, dawn of their happiness.

Turn this paradigm around.

Give up on everything you hate. It brought you nothing.

Reconnect with what you love.

And chances are, mind you, that you figure a way to do what you love, to live your dream, more often then not.

Because most of us “give up”.
