How can dreams and goals be a part of life with the hobbies we already have?

Dreams and Goals in life are hobby enthused

By Louise BarracoPublished 12 days ago 6 min read

From the time we are little to the time we go away to college for our careers what happens? We have fun, we have goals and aspirations and things that we want to go after. Hobbies and the like, if that is what you want to call them. When we have goals and dreams, how do they come to be, is it because we try to do the things that we enjoy and the more we do them the more we get out of them. Or is it because we want something in life so much that that is what we go after, in terms of a dream and then set a goal to attain it by a certain point? Yes it could be, and for most people it probably is. Dreams and goals for people can be the same thing if that is what they want it to be. So can dreams and goals be a part of life with the hobbies we already have? Yes they can, and actually are, when we think about it. The reason for this is, when we do things as hobbies that we enjoy the more we do them the more we can make them a part of life through a dream and get to where we want with them. Take writing for example, if you want to be a writer you have to practice, well the same goes for blogging or playing a sport and getting to what I like to call the big leagues when it comes to sports, if you don’t practice what you want in life you won’t get it. That is how I look at it anyway.

When we live life we are doing so through the things that we enjoy, we do things to help us relax and or get better at certain things. That is doing things that we enjoy and what some people like to call hobbies. If you dream of being a writer you have to start somewhere right, you have to start with blogging or writing short stories. Or if you want to be an athlete you have to start at little league of whatever it is you want to be an athlete at and go from there putting in the work all the while. So if you have a hobby that you want to turn into a dream job or a goal you want to pursue into a job you have to put in the work to do so and in doing that you will get better and better at it. Writing for example I have always wanted to be a writer and I started with trying to write novels and kids books, then turned to blogging and that is what I am doing now. My goal is to make my blog writing a job that I don’t need to take a vacation from yet I can make good money at. So yes at first it might have been a hobby but now it has turned into a job.

Dreams and goals can be a part of life because that is essentially what life is, made up of. With life being made up of dreams and goals, as we add our hobbies into it life gets better and better. The way that life gets better and better with the dreams and goals we do and the hobbies is it just becomes so much more fun and we get so much more out of it. For example blogging can be a hobby yet a dream job and a goal to make money off of and if we work hard enough we can make money off of it and get so much more out of it. That is what my goal is anyway and I will work hard enough to get to where I want with it as well as living the life that I want to live.

Dreams and goals can be a part of life with the hobbies we already have because the hobbies we already have is what pushes us to further our dreams and goals in a way that works for us. This could be anything from being a professional athlete to a famous writer, actor or blogger. The list can go on and on. So this means, find a goal, make it a dream for yourself, go after it and see what happens to your life while you are putting your hobbies into it while going after your dreams and goals. My dreams and goals were hobbies first and then they turned into dreams and goals because I just loved writing so why not make it a dream and a goal to make a living off of it and see where it goes.

When we do the hobbies that we enjoy while living life and dreaming, how much of that turns into goals for living life in the future? Have we ever thought about that? Most people probably have it because when they think of their goals they use what they enjoy doing for example their hobbies as reference. That is what I did anyway and that is why I am doing what I am doing today. What about you? When it comes to your goals, dreams and hobbies, how did you go about coming up with wanting to pursue them?

So yes our dreams and goals can be a part of the life we already have. We just have to put them all together in our lives and make them all work. When we do that, we get so much more out of our lives by doing the things that we enjoy. When this happens we do more and more of our hobbies and we get so much more out of life. At least that is what it feels like to me. What about you, does it feel the same way to you when you go after your dreams, goals and hobbies together.

Dreams and goals are always a part of our lives with the hobbies we already have because that is what makes one work with the other. If we didn’t have dreams, and goals we wouldn’t do the hobbies that we do, since the hobbies that we do are something that we enjoy doing to help us relax. When we do the relaxing hobby things we get more out of life because doing these things whatever they are helps us fulfill our dreams and goals.

When we go after the dreams that we want, do we think of the hobbies we did to get there or do we think of our hobbies at all? Most of the time we don’t but we really should? Why should we think about our hobbies that we do when we go after our dreams and our goals? Well because our hobbies are what gives our lives variety and relaxation and even purpose. So if we put our hobbies into our lives with our dreams and goals we will get so much more out of life because our hobbies will make our dreams and goals that much bigger. That is what I notice anyway. What about you?

Dreams and goals are always a part of life , we need to remember that especially with the hobbies we already have. Since our dreams and goals are what formed the hobbies we do now in the first place. That is how I look at it anyway, what about you, have you ever thought of it that way? This is how dreams and goals can be a part of hobbies and life because that is what makes life what it is.

How do you think that our dreams and goals can be a part of life with the hobbies we are already doing? Think about that and run after your dreams, goals and hobbies together. You will be so glad that you did and you will get so much more out of them.
