Reaching your dreams

When we have a dream or a goal, we will decide the details to achieve it.

-What do we want to do?
-How high can we reach?
-When can we reach our goal?

Of course, we need to be reasonable in setting our goals. We can try to push our limits, but that doesn't mean we should try to do things that are clearly beyond our limits.

Regarding trying to push our limits, if we set too many limits for ourselves, we will unconsciously limit ourselves. We can try to push ourselves as far as we can go. Try testing potential talents that we missed!

Willingness to work

Willingness to work is the effort we put into our work. In this case, the first point we need to think about in order to have more willingness to work is, are we really interested in our goals? Do we want to spend time and effort for the goal?

Just like what we consider when we choose the course we want to study, or the job we want to apply for. There are many factors affecting us when making decision, such as time, willingness, salary, skills need, etc. Our goals may not be the same as what we are really interested in, while we are not sure which is the best choice for us, and whether we will regret for our choice.

In this case, we have to think a question: is there any way that we can achieve the same dream in a different way? Although we may have to go a longer way, spending more time and effort for it, with enough willingness to work, we may even have a dream that is higher than we originally expected. On the other hand, if we try to do something we are not interested in, or even something we don't want to do, it will be bad for our mental health.
