Chase your dreams!

It is no secret that successful people achieve their goals and aspirations by sheer hard work and dedication. Those people are doers. Doers have a vision and they take an active part in achieving their vision. I do think that opportunity plays a huge part in one’s success but if we sit back and just dream without actually planning and creating, the dream remains a dream. I too often see people who are miserable in their job however make no effort to change their career path or their job. I love what I do in my fulltime work, it is a position I have worked hard towards for a good decade and I find it very fulfilling. I don’t complain about my job as I do enjoy it. Writing however is my real passion. And I have known that since I was a kid, but have I done anything towards achieving success from it? Until I started my blog, no.

I wonder how many people have a dream and are passionate about something but either settle in a job that pays the bills or find they are happy with what they do so don’t aspire to chase that dream. Fortunately chasing my dream costs me nothing and the time it requires is time I am prepared to dedicate to it. I love writing. It is as simple and as complex as that. If I aspire to become a writer and do not achieve success in later years I have lost nothing. I enjoy it. I would still enjoy it with or without success. The success of course would change my retirement years (yes I am already planning for that) however it would not stop me from enjoying writing if I did not achieve success from it.

In all honesty when I first started my blog I didn’t really know what to base it on. I see so many amazing foodie blogs, lifestyle blogs, mum blogs, and in the end I realised that my blog would be quite the mixed bag. I love that I can be versatile in my writing however I do wonder if from a reader’s perspective it is confusing to see ‘exactly’ what it is I blog about. I guess it is really just a blog about sharing what I love. And the crux of that is writing.

Chase your dreams people, a life spent wondering is a life wasted. Unless of course you are already happy with what you do. Are you?
