You are likely one of many young Americans with big dreams. Maybe you want to become the next big influencer or start the next big tech company. Or maybe you have small goals. Maybe you want to have a family, work and retire. Whatever the goal, most people have dreams.
You have probably been told to follow this dream and follow your heart. Hollywood, like its favorite stars, teachers, and idols, wants you to think so.But whatever it is, its dreams, its ambitions, lurk beneath the sweet surface of perceived goals. It can be deadly poisonous.
Remember a celebrity who recently got depressed? What about others who died of an overdose? Isn't your hero the one who accomplishes the most? Instead of following your heart to follow your heart, first ask yourself what your motives are. It's not hard to understand that fame and money won't satisfy you.I think everyone should be rich and famous and dream and see that this is not the solution.

Instead of setting goals to get rich and famous, set goals to achieve what you want to achieve. Do it to express yourself, not to make your music or art famous. Also, ask yourself if your mind is lying to you. Contrary to what your idols tell you, your heart does not always tell the truth. That is the infallibility of human nature.
We are not perfect creatures. When I look back on my life, I often find myself wanting something, but when I finally have it, it feels more empty than when I started.
Mind your heart, it is often wrong. You're likely one of many young people with big dreams, and maybe that's okay. Not all dreams are bad. But listen to the voices demanding that you get what you want. Hard drugs and alcohol are tempting, but just because you want them doesn't mean they're healthy. .
