Question:

Are you doing what you really want to do?

There are a lot of things that I always wished I could be, an architect, fashion designer, writer etc... But, instead I do secretarial work. It seems that some people just have a knack for making their dreams come true. Fear of failure always holds me back. I'd love to know if there is anybody out there who has pursued their dream and made it happen. If not, what holds you back?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I made a dream come true - it took five years and complete and utter focus. Tunnel vision, if you like. It also took self-belief and persistence - I kept my dream to myself, so I didn't have to listen to nay-sayers. Even if you don't believe in yourself, believe in your dream. Start reading biographies of architects, fashion designers, writers, etc. to get you inspired, then create a list of goals to get you to where you want to go. Collect as much information as you can about how to make your dream come true. Start small, but be persistent. Doing a little bit every day to achieve your dream consistently is better than doing a whole lot at once and burning out. Everyone has 'a knack ' for making dreams come true - you do too. Take considered action to make your dreams come true today. Good luck!
