Stop Chasing the Wrong Dreams

There is a popular belief that success is about finding the right path or following in the footsteps of someone who has already succeeded. While it's true that successful people can provide valuable insights and guidance, the idea of "chasing the dream" can be misleading.

The problem with chasing someone else's dream is that it doesn't really align with your own aspirations and personal goals. It's like trying to fit into a pair of shoes that are not your size. It may look good on the outside, but it will never feel comfortable.

Many people get caught up in this pursuit of someone else's dream, and they end up jumping from one thing to the next, hoping for quick results. They never take the time to truly ask themselves what they want in life, and as a result, they stop digging just a few feet from the gold.
