When is it Worth Pursuing the Dream Career, Relationship, Home, and Vacation?

If life feels mundane, it’s understandable that we dream, grasping for something to make life more exciting: the dream job, the dream relationship, the dream home, the dream vacation. 

We may be especially likely to aspire to a dream amid the grayness that the COVID restrictions or disease have foisted on us.

But as a career and personal coach who has worked with more than 6,000 clients over the past 35 years, I’ve seen too many people chase a dream only to not achieve it even partially and perhaps worse, kill themselves to achieve the dream and still feel empty.

In my PsychologyToday.com article today, I make the best case I can for and against chasing the aforementioned common dreams.
