I Decided to Achieve my Dreams and Forget Everything Else. You Can Do the Same!
You might remember when I wrote “What Should I Do with My Life?“. I got plenty of opinions and I’m more sure than ever about what I want from my future. I want to achieve all my biggest dreams and forget everything secondary.
There was tens of helpful comments coming after that post. Here are some of my favorite motivational comments from you, my gorgeous readers…
Motivational Comments from You
1. “So many questions eh? The truth is that you probably already know deep down what makes you happiest. Forget the salary and the big house and concentrate on what you most enjoy. You have to work for a long time and there’s nothing worse than having a job you don’t enjoy even if you’re in a super posh house. We have absolutely nothing, no house, no jobs, no possessions, just each other and we’ve never been happier.” – Jonno
2. “You have to ask yourself what would not feel too much like work when you are doing it and if you picture yourself doing it everyday. At the end of the its what will make you happy. Good luck!” – Agnes
3. “Oh my goodness, you’ve got so much going on at the moment!
I’ve always followed my dreams, so I can basically recommend you to do the same. Yeah, career in medicine pays out well – but then again, if you’re able to find something that makes you happy from the marketing, I can’t see why you couldn’t work hard and earn as much from that as you would earn from medicine. Then again, it’s a tricky question. ” – Jasmin
There was plenty more great and super motivational ones. I’m very honored to have guys reading this blog and following my life! ❤
My Decisions
I will follow my heart and head to amazing life doing more creative things. I’m focusing more on my job in company of my dreams.
I will head abroad as soon as possible. At the summer it will mean a roadtrip around Europe working with my book project. What comes to my job I’d love to transfer to the UK first for more experience. The ultimate goal is still the US. I cannot wait to move back!
I would like to live couple of years in UK, some in Australia and maybe couple in UAE and Singapore during next twenty years. I though want to live most of my life in the US. NYC and Cali / Oregon are in brightest dreams. In general I want a job that allows me to travel a lot.
Since the last post where I was thinking about this I’ve decided to quit studying medicine and make economics my only major. I’ll keep working with my internet based marketing & leadership BBA with goal to graduate within 2-3 years. I’ve already done half of the courses but I don’t want to hurry because I’ll also have a job and this blog to do.
Doing things I enjoy makes me feel very happy and released at the moment. I’ve been doing couple of medical courses during this winter and to be honest it hasn’t been very fun to be there. Consumer behavior and my other economics courses are a lot more interesting.
I’ve also realized that it’s possible to make quite good money with marketing related jobs too. It might not be as good as plastic surgeons’ American salary for most but still. And getting those really big salaries isn’t still impossible though it might require more. Maybe those are possible after writing couple of best selling books, making this blog big and doing job in marketing.
I hope you all can do things you enjoy and build a career around things you love. 🙂
What would you love to do for living? What is your biggest dream?
If there is only one thing we can advise, it is to follow your heart. The Chinese have a saying : “every industry will produce a champion”. So be it plastic surgeons or marketing executives, one can equally gain success. It is hard to make a decision, because there is so much in front of you. Its like a buffet. Where to begin? Perhaps from the starters?

I think many of us feel a bit lost in their early twenties. I kind of knew what I wanted but I wasn’t quite sure if I can do those things. There was quite hard external pressure to do other things than the ones I enjoyed the most. But following your own dreams and heart definitely is the best thing to do in long run! 🙂

My biggest dream is to have a simple life. To have a passive income while I take care of my family. I know it takes a lot of effort and time to make that happen, but for now, the best way to achieve it is to take one step at a time. And yes, follow your heart if that’s what makes you the happiest person then. Besides, life isn’t just about money. What we have here in this world is just temporary. So live life. 🙂
