このコンテンツについて
Recent conversations on the “Follow Your Dreams” podcast highlighted that success rarely unfolds along a straight path. One guest, a former investment banker turned wildlife photographer, described the leap away from a secure career as “terrifying, but essential.” Their journey underscores that what we love can shift over time, and the courage to take an uncertain route may lead to lasting fulfillment—sometimes well beyond financial success.
A 2025 UCLA study found that while 86% of young people still aim for the American dream, most report daunting economic obstacles. In fact, 60% say it’s personally difficult to achieve, and over half want to see more realistic stories about financial struggles and mental health on screen. This generation dreams big but craves honest conversations about the barriers they face—rising costs, job insecurity, and feeling like survival is a struggle.
Pursuing your dreams today demands both imagination and realism. As essayist Heather Havrilesky asks in her latest piece, it’s not just about pursuing what you want, but questioning “what’s truly worth wanting?” Modern culture often spotlights the finish line—money, recognition, status—but true satisfaction comes from identifying what lights you up, even if it’s unconventional or slow to materialize.
Take inspiration from those who’ve broken the mold: a tech worker who swapped code for a paintbrush, a journalist who found freedom on the road, or Paralympic champion Dylan Alcott, who redefined success by blending sports, music, and activism despite societal expectations and physical challenges.
For those listening and searching for their next step, start by reflecting on what activities make you lose track of time. Set achievable goals, remain open to change, and remember—setbacks build resilience. The path to your dreams won’t always be smooth, but each step, each pivot, is a thread in a life authentically lived. In 2025, following your dreams isn't just about ambition—it's about redefining success on your own terms and embracing the adventure of becoming.
