This week I discuss:

  • Why I think this relentless pursuit of your dreams is unhealthy.

  • I’ll lay to rest with a fitting memorial the Campaign 08′ update (it just wasn’t working the way I envisioned it)
  • Finally, I’m talking 3rd party politics and why they are a joke.

As always if there is something you’d like to hear please shoot me an e-mail.

So much for that idea

Posted by Will Young

I wrote on July 3rd about I finally decided to pursue my dream of a career in radio broadcasting. I was going to attend the CSB School of Broadcasting and they even offered me a 1/2 paid scholarship.

Unfortunately I learned this morning that there is absolutely no way that I am going to be able to come up with the other half. I’ve tried every outlet imaginable and it’s just not going to happen.

So…so much for that idea.

I believe that sometimes we’re not meant to pursue all of our dreams. I think if we WERE meant to pursue every dream we had things would be nuts. We’d probably all be in financial ruins and life would be completely abnormal. I know that most would disagree with me. Most folks believe that you should passionately pursue all of your dreams until you achieve them. Come on folks, the reality is my pursuit of this dream would have left me in financial ruins. I’d be in deeper debt than I already am from the loan I would have (if I could have gotten approved for it) had to take out, I would have spent years working my way up a ladder making next to nothing (thus pushing myself in further debt), to one day attain my goal in this particular field, still not making a whole lot of money. Sure money isn’t everything, not when it comes to pursuing your dreams, but honestly, bills HAVE to be paid, food HAS to be bought, fuel HAS to be put in the car, debt HAS to be paid down and a home is NEEDED for survival. So sure, money isn’t EVERYTHING, but it sure does play a significant role in everything.

Anyway, I don’t know whats ahead. I’ll still podcast, which gives me ample opportunities to live out parts of my dream. I’m also contemplating starting a production, or DJ business on the side and teach myself different aspects of the trade. Who knows. My dreams not dead, but this avenue of pursuit more than likely is.
