"Chase your dreams." I'm sure you've heard this advice before. You might be following it right now. Well, it's actually terrible advice. Following it can be a huge mistake that can make you unhappy and miserable. Here's why.

The point is that just because your heart tells you to do something doesn't mean you should do it. You should still follow your dreams, but definitely not always. If someone's dream is to be a horrible person, just for happiness, should you still chase it?

@PotentialJourney Жыл бұрын

The life we live in this world is like a dream where we create the reality we want to experience. We act out our roles and seek to make them real, to find substance in our desires and aspirations. We dream of a better life, a better version of ourselves, a better understanding of what it means to exist and have value. We define ourselves based on what we perceive to be real and build our entire reality around it. However, we must remember that our existence is already defined by our creator, God. We don't need to build ourselves from scratch because we were already created in His image. In Him, we find the true meaning of our existence, and we know where we stand in the grand scheme of things. We don't lack anything because we are already in the right position of duty. We don't need to recreate ourselves from nothing, but we must essentially build ourselves in what we are already built in and for.

basically, don't stop chasing your dreams no matter how hard it gets, but remember to learn from all the set-backs because that's what sets you up to get closer to your dream.

Hey Jensen really an insightful video. I think when you said you yourself don't know what should we do if not chasing our dream, i believe we should indeed chase them but with some realistic expectations, i personally live on my philosophy that, "leave optimistic or pessimistic thought, one should always aim with realistic approach" like you said in the example on how that person from France gave away everything to fund a short film in LA and got struggles,it was basically becoz he thought of gaining traction with first shot only, while realistically there could be dozens of failure films before coming up with a blockbuster. In this, i find your approach of having a yt channel and making insightful vlogs to be really really better. Moreover the amount of opportunities we can access today through our mobiles, is far greater than any city, college, University etc

good work Jensen! and good insight. I find it's hard to see or think about the process when we live in the world of Social media that focuses on instant gratification, so your insight was very refreshing. It also reminds me of an Indigenous story know as "The Gift Is In The Making" documented by Leanne Simpson. It is my favorite Indigenous story and the title is words that I live by, highly suggest you check it out at your local library.
