We're taught to strive for financial security over anything else. So we sacrifice our dreams. Â Â People give up on their dreams for different reasons. Especially as they get older. It shouldn't be a surprise: many things happen in life after high school or college. People get married, have kids, and start a career. So they put their dreams aside and move on towards different goals. Did that happen to you, ? If so, it's not your fault. We're all busy. While big dreams require sacrifice. And we're taught to strive for financial security over anything else. So we sacrifice our dreams. It seems rational. And, if you only look at short-term consequences, it is rational. Chasing dreams is kind of a luxury. However, in the long run, your dreams are much more important than you think. If you have a chance of pursuing them, please do it. Otherwise, you might be disappointed later. But that doesn't mean you should burn yourself out. Chasing dreams while you have other responsibilities can be exhausting. So what you can you do instead? My best advice is to seek out harmony between your responsibilities and dreams. Try to find a way to merge those two. If you need to support your family, don't just quit your job. See if you can use your current job to support your dreams in any kind of way. I did something similar with Lifehack. When I started Lifehack, I was also working as a software developer. Since my income was well above average, I was able to outsource some parts of running Lifehack even though the blog still wasn't profitable. And only later, when Lifehack started growing, I quit the job. In my book [The Full Life Framework]( I talk about this period at length. But not just that. I'm also sharing lessons I've learned. You see, I've got from an overworked software developer to an entrepreneur with a beautiful family and fulfilled life. Many things have changed in the meantime. Most importantly, my mindset. Before that, I believed that you have to choose. Choose between family, career, health, and social life. But now I know it's not true. You can have all of that, and more. [If you want to read more about my journey and the lessons I've learned, click here to check out the book.]( You'll be surprised how easy it is to live a fulfilled life. Without sacrificing financial security... OR your dreams. Your friend,
