How can I devote myself wholeheartedly to my dreams?

How can I devote myself wholeheartedly to my dreams?

When work collides with dreams, how can we devote ourselves to dreams? Here is what I bring to you: how to devote yourself to your dreams.

Since the publication of "What positive changes can you bring to your life by writing casually", it has aroused heated discussion. Many old and new friends have left messages in the background saying that they have always liked writing, hoping to accumulate their own progress track through simple records. But many people are interested? Write what? And then what? How to start, from 0 to 1? There are many doubts, and I will share some with you slowly in the future.

There is also a common confusion: should we put aside our career or boring work and devote ourselves wholeheartedly? Writing? This business. I want to share my personal views with you here.

In an ideal situation, if you are engaged in a job that you like and are good at, it is simply a blessing from heaven! In most cases, we love something, but we can't take hobbies as a career.

In recent years, there is a popular view that if you like something and have a dream, you should quit your job in minutes to do it, practice it and have it.

? You dream of opening a small cafe, you'd better open one every minute;

? You dream of becoming a writer and then quitting! Then immediately go online and register the code word with a pseudonym that gets up early and gets greedy, ready to become a great god.

? You dream of being a photographer, so quit! Then travel around and open a photography studio with parents' money;

? You dream of becoming a baker and then quitting! Immediately move an oven in the rented room and start making beautiful cupcakes.

What we actually see is that we often pursue our dreams too rashly, and most of the results are jumping around in the street.

During this period, the most painful loss is not that you have wasted time and money, but that the dream you rashly invested in is lost in reality. You will find that dreams are neither romantic nor interesting, and they are more anxious than work and study, and finally even the dreams themselves are lost.

The pursuit of dreams and hobbies should not be a lantern, rising at full speed, and rising wherever it can. Instead, you should fly a kite in May, step by step, from the cost you can afford, fly in the wind bit by bit, and finally gradually enter Qingyun.

I have a relative whose family is an architectural family, but he studied business himself.

From the moment he was admitted to the university, he told everyone that his dream was to be an architect in new york until he entered the investment bank. Recently, this dream finally came to an end with his marriage. His new dream is to get financial freedom as soon as possible and travel around the world with his wife.

Relatives said he finally understood? Go to new york to be an architect? This is not his dream, but the label he put on himself to distinguish himself from others in the financial circle.

The dream of being an architect can make him look cool, stand out from the crowd, and even have a certain artistic temperament in the circle of fame and fortune, and he has been narcissistic for many years. So it was not marriage that shattered his old dreams, but maturity that made him face reality:

First, if he really wants to learn architecture, he should take more classes in architecture in his spare time or read books on it.

Second, over the years, his understanding of architectural design has been stuck in? Just saying? In fact, he knows nothing about what he needs and what the price is.

Third, he can only accept being one? Success? Architect, and can't accept being one? Failure? Architect.

Based on the above analysis, he understands that architects are not his dreams, but his fantasies.

No matter what attitude you take to pursue your dream, you must first distinguish between your dream and your hobby, and also distinguish whether it is a real dream, a fantasy you made up to avoid your efforts, or a gold-plated label that makes you look better.

Each of us will have a different understanding of ourselves and life at different stages of life.

At different stages, we will have different visions, goals and ideals, and reality will prompt us to prioritize these visions and ideals according to realistic conditions.

But if it is a real dream, you will find that no matter how you organize it, you will always touch it intentionally or unintentionally, move forward towards it and work hard. I really dreamed that I got out of the gap in reality, greeted you with mini buds and waved to you, although it was still far from the full version.

I used to think my dream was? Being a fashion editor? Since middle school, I like to cut out colorful newspapers and magazines and make newspaper clippings in different categories. I also like to look at those beautiful clothes and matching photos online, and I like to know about brand knowledge. When I was about to graduate from college, I received an admission notice from an English university. A few months before I went abroad, I worked as an intern in a French fashion magazine.

When I went, the editorial department was not very good, and there was not even an extra seat for interns in the office, so my career as a fashion editor began with a sack.

A month later, I began to emerge, because I can read the minds of brand owners and write beautiful soft articles. The editor-in-chief gave me a promotion, and I began to have my own seat and desk, helping fashion editors shoot cover films, learning professional collocation knowledge and planning some small topics?

A few months later, when I finally got a job offer as an assistant fashion editor, I immediately refused and fled the industry.

Although I only stayed in an unknown fashion magazine for a few months, it can show me the face, characters, efforts and income of this industry better than everyone's hard work and thousands of words: this industry not only has clothes, high-end parties, beautiful shapes, a lot of gorgeous clothes to choose and match, but also needs you to pull a photographer like a dog to shoot on the street in front of a high street shop on a windy day. Like migrant workers, they carry big bags and small bags to borrow goods from well-connected brands, nervously choose topics with the editor-in-chief, and explore, win over and motivate good authors, sign contracts with them, calculate tax points and urge manuscript fees. If they fly to so-and-so fashion week, they have to fight without sleep and have pimples all over their faces.

Although the internship experience was short, it gave me great gains, which made me understand that fashion editing is a hobby for me at best, and it can't be my passion.

So, when you have the seed of your dream in your heart, you can try to take care of it part-time for a while, and let time and frustration tell yourself whether this is really your dream.

When others are brushing Weibo, WeChat and watching videos with a smile, it is a test for anyone who claims to have a dream to stick to his humble little career. Those who can't persist, it is better not to pursue their dreams full-time, because that is not our dream at all, but a means to escape from reality, which has nothing to do with full-time and part-time jobs.

In real life, only a few lucky people can immediately put everything down and devote themselves to their dreams. We ordinary people need to create conditions under the constraints of reality and practice our dreams in limited time and space.

People who do small things in a limited space, if they really bite the bullet and stick to it, will really get one step closer to their dreams and have good reasons to stop and plan carefully:

Should I stay part-time or full-time?

Full-time, how much does it cost, and what corresponding opportunity costs will you pay?

Make a time plan for yourself, how to go every step, what goals you can achieve in a month, half a year or a year, and what to do if you don't achieve them.

If someone can still love this career unswervingly after all the efforts, setbacks, hesitation, anxiety, it is really called embracing dreams.

Real dreams don't blow around like strong winds blowing from south to north; It will be like the land where we belong. No matter how we go and in what direction, we are all in it.
