When You Start Pursuing Your Dreams, These 7 Things Will Happen

If you’ve ever thought about making a living doing something that involves you pursuing your dreams, this article is definitely for you. Too many people end up doing things in their lives that they absolutely despise.

When you start pursuing your dreams, these 7 things will happen and it’s absolutely normal.

1. You’ll Be Pushed Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I have said this statement many times, change and comfort don’t always go hand-in-hand. More often than not, you have to choose between comfort and change to be really successful.

When you pursue your dreams, you’re going to have to do tons of things that are new and some of these things may make you uncomfortable. At the end of the day, it’s just a few of the barriers you have to deal with as you aim to make a huge change in your life.

2. You’ll Have Doubts From Time To Time

Making a huge change in your life is never easy. Ask any successful entrepreneur, athlete or musician and they’ll tell you the same thing – they had doubts and things got real tough during their journey.

Nevertheless, having doubts from time to time are absolutely normal. You only truly mess up when you let those doubts run you or dreams. You can’t give up and you can’t let the negatives stop you from tackling your dreams head on.

3. You’ll Find Your True Friends

When you do something unordinary, you tend to find out who your real friends are. Will your friends be your support system or will they antagonize you for your decisions?

It’s sometimes really hard figuring out who your real friends are, but you’d rather know than be left in the darkness about it. True friends are there for you regardless of what happens.

4. You Will Have To Make Tough Decisions

The toughest part about being an entrepreneur for me often times has been making the right decision. Each decision tends to have a huge impact on my businesses and I feel like I have to make the perfect decision.

If you’re best friend is employed in the company, but not producing….what will you do? Will you sacrifice your own feelings above the companies? That’s a recipe for failure. Tough decisions like that will come up and you have to be prepared to take the hard route.

5. You’ll Surely Test Your Patience

There is no one path or road to success. Pursuing your dreams is often difficult and filled with tons of obstacles. If you plan on being an ‘overnight’ success, you’re in for another thing. Chasing your dreams will truly test your patience.

For me, I’ve committed 100% to the entrepreneurial route. When I was younger, it was tough. I was all in on my business while I saw my friends transferring to top Universities and some were even graduating. I had to stay patient and remain focused to see things change.

6. You’ll Learn How Talented You Truly Are

Growing up, I felt like I was really stupid. School bored me and I was disinterested, which caused me to get really bad grades. As a result, I thought I was stupid and a complete failure.

Then, I ventured out on my own and began teaching myself the ropes of business and life. After finding some success along the way, I quickly learned that I was a lot more intelligent and talented than I had ever known.

7. You’ll Wish You Had Started Earlier

No matter how old you are, you always regret starting so late when you do find your true purpose in life. I started as an entrepreneur at 17, which many people are extremely jealous of. However, I’m always regretful I didn’t start when I was 12 or 13.

Pursuing your dreams can be exciting and truly thrilling. Cherish each day and continue pushing to the top.
