What would it take for you to make your dreams come true?

More often than not we give up on our dreams because our lives don't seem to align with them. For some of us chasing our dreams seems impossible. But if one day you decided to put everything aside and follow your dream, what would you be setting aside? What sacrifices would you be required to make in order to conquer your dreams? For me, I realized that if I want my dream life I would need to give up my job in favor of a better-paying one, despite loving the place and people I work with. I would need to let some friends go, as they will not support me on my path and might even hold me back. I would be required leave where I currently live - the most active city in my country and the place where most of my closest people live, and move to a remote city where rent prices are much lower. To chase my dream would mean leaving behind everything I know and love and start all over again.

I wonder if those things you would give up might not be more valuable than your dream job.

They are a lot more valuable than a job, but those things are what I wound eventually need to put aside in order to live the life I dream of for my future self.

Would your dream be worth all that sacrifice?

@Annaelle Based on everything you've said so far, that sounds like a good plan.

I won't know until I try. But not knowing is also why I'm not making all that sacrifice yet. I can give up on all that right now and live the way I want to live, or I can wait and maybe I'll find a better way... For now I choose to wait :)
