Would you sacrifice a career/lifestyle to live your dreams? Are you a dreamer or a doer?

Some people dream of doing something like climbing Everest, go on a sea cruise - something that makes them tick, but are bound to material things and end up regretting not having lived at least one dream.

== I think we follow our dreams since we grew up, followed up our education at different levels and ranked the job we got it.
In somehow we could say to ourselves: What else should we do to be well satisfied? == The actual meaning of a dream is viewing our future plan (either real or fancy) in our imagination and trying our bests to perform in several ways, and we can say to ourselves: "We did it, and we can do more".
Sometimes, we cannot build our dreams on reality because either they are over our capabilities to be done at present and the real moment to happen does not come yet, or just they are impossible to occur in any time and simply are fancy ones.
== Everyone who can follow up the whole series of his lifespan till his/her present, will find that he/she caught the best ever choices of career and lifestyle he/she could dream with, and following such one of those dreams in his/her mind at that moment, will be catastrophic to the whole efforts spent in creating his/her present, and to get back what he/she lost before making that dream will be useless and time out.
== While some dreams can be positively motivate the person to raise his/her lifestyle level or moving up to a better career opportunity rather than the present one, and those dreams are the main reasons behind someone's creativity, innovation and eventually success.
== Our life is full of challenges and opportunities, and we should live the reality as it is and direct our dreams in the right directions to build up our future with obvious and forthcoming features.

if we analyze and confirm what we want at a very early age,we can study and work the things we are passionate about.

work will be the road to self satisfaction and dream realization.

find what you love and make it your career,find a company in that field and accomplish your dreams and success at the company you love.

you can do both.

If you have chosen the right career and lifestyle, that would be your real dream.
Anything else would merely be a temporary filler that you would need to discard in order to realize your true dream.
Sacrificing your true dream, however, is out of the question.
As for me it is no.
I make my career and lifestyle my true dream, and I live it every day.
Life is real and practical.
Anything else is unrealistic.

To live in the same house in the same street in the same city and working in one place may suit some people and they may be contented with this lifestyle, but for me there is awhole world out their waiting to be enjoyed - it's a risk but we only live once so if opportunities come up I would always consider them and more often than not I would take them

when you have a dream and you believe in it then you have to put all your effort to make it a reality Practice what you believe , don't expect magic

I sacrificed my dreams to make a career...actually my dreams could've been my career too...i fell short by30000$ or so!! ;) ( After all i had quite costly dreams you see!!)

Now i aspire to make in excess of that amount(and much more) first in my career and within5 years i will live my dreams again, that's for sure!!!

Never too late for anything!!

Living with reality sometimes become very hard for us. we need dreams to projecting our future and happiness. sometime what we cannot achieve or fulfill in our daily life we can achieve through our dreams.

Dreams create happiness and give us a vision to proceed further in life.  we also make sure that dreams are only illusion and we have to face reality. so we must work hard to make our dreams into reality....
