Like a lot of people we choose to follow a certain path in life, but along the way we give up. Maybe because of new interests, or changed priorities, or unforeseeable circumstances. But there are some desires and dreams that just don't go away, however much we try to ignore or run away from them. Some of these dreams could be something like pursuing a different career path, trying a new venture, or going after the person we are attracted to. If you find that such thoughts are still in your mind several months, or even years down the road, then it might be worth taking the risk, and pursuing those desires.
The source of your true happiness and success in life may just stem from going after those interests. Something that stays in your mind for a long time, is a lot more than just a mere whim or a fleeting desire. It means that deep down inside, you really want these things, but because of a fear of the unknown, you choose to ignore them. Being the stubborn thoughts that they are, they refuse to go away, and you become a frustrated and unhappy person, because of those unfulfilled desires. Take the risk, plan to start that business venture that you always thought would give you the freedom lifestyle that you desired. Give in to that nudging feeling to switch careers, and see how far it can take you. Go after that girl that you secretly admire, but refuse to admit. Tell her how you feel and accept the outcome, because at the very least you will have your peace of mind.
Do not bottle up your secret desires, especially if they are enduring, because in the end they can consume you. Most of the time in life, the fear of the unknown becomes our greatest roadblock to achieving true success. Most people would prefer to remain with the familiar, staying in their comfort zone, rather than go after what they truly desire. If these secret desires refuse to fade away, then it is time you took the risk and pursued them. It may just be your inner voice trying to tell you to travel a different path, to find true success and happiness.
Preparation and Opportunity
With all the twists and turns on life's highway, being prepared can become a daunting task when we don't know what's waiting for us just around the next bend in the road. Oftentimes, preparation is a benefit we gain through living, losing, and learning what it takes, not only to survive, but to succeed. We learn what unique attributes we as individuals posses, that will keep us moving forward, when our feet get weary and the road gets long.
