The typical “American Dream”. Is it for me?
What is every Americans dream? That’s a hard question to answer because we’re all different, we all have different interests, different tastes so all that comes into play when asking that question. Most would think be successful in business, have an awesome job, have a family and be comfortable money-wise. But is that really the case? Is that all there is to strive for for us to be happy with our lives?
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my life, where I’m headed in the future and my idea of the American dream. To be honest while all the items I listed above sound enticing; I think I will be pursuing another route. Now when I say that some might think I’m going to be a bum, a nomad traveling place to place, not able to hold down a job or use the skills I have to my advantage. That’s definitely not the case. Over the next few weeks and months I will be exploring other opportunities both personally, emotionally and career-wise.
There are so many things I want to do with my live, with other peoples lives and with the world as a whole. Now don’t get me wrong, I want all those things above and I will strive everyday to get them. But there has to be something else. One thing that tops everything else and makes anything else seem minute.
I’m determined, I know I can make this work and will be doing something everyday to reach my goal. I’m young, I’m eager, and I know I can get whatever I want despite any obstacle. Leave me a comment or write me describing what your “American Dream” is.
