"Follow your dreams" is the stupidest advice ever.

[PAOerfulone]

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
So, people should just not act upon their desires or goals and do nothing? Be whatever society wants or thinks they should be, what other people tell them to be instead of who they want to be and aspire to be the best version of themselves? What a miserable, unfulfilling experience. I can't imagine anything more depressing than that.
If you want to be a counselor, psychologist, lawyer, doctor, technician, mechanic, artist, writer, entertainer, game developer, or whatever your want to do; If that's what your dream is and what you truly, really want to do, you should go for it. The only point that should be clear and that people should realize is that it is not going to be easy. By any means. It is going to take a lot of hard work, grit and grind, a sleepless night here and there, dedication, and plenty of help from the right people to get you there. And along the way, you have to learn to fend for yourself, take care of yourself, become independent, and a provider for yourself and/or other people in today's society. There's a lot more to it than just whether or not you are naturally talented or gifted at it.
