Is it worth following your dreams even if it's a big risk?

[funnyguy11]

My life is strange. I'd like to be a very happy person, but I'm really far from that. I'd just like to be happy and feel like I'm heading towards my dreams because they haven't died yet. I'm still young and want something more. I want to be a comedian. I want to start doing something that interests me, like creating a commercial or a TV series. I'm weird, but I feel like by trying, I can somehow find my place. I have a different mindset than my parents. I don't feel normal. I feel different, and I feel that staying in something that brings me down, even though it provides stability, is very pointless. I want to follow my dreams. I want to do something that will make me happy.

Go for it! Always do what makes you happy. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so wouldn’t you rather do what you enjoy doing? If I’m being honest, I think doing comedy is great. Just make sure that you’re doing something else on the side for money so you’re not struggling while you work on your act. (I’ve heard lots of successful comedians say that they did this)

No it's not. Here's the thing, were raised to admire risk takers, people point out people through history who took risks and reaped the reward.

But 99.9% of them failed miserably. The risk ruined their life, they lived in poverty up to their eyeballs in debt, most died young and forgotten.

You've got to weigh up risks, take good advice, and never risk what you can't afford to lose. People will congratulate you if it pays of but they'll brand you irresponsible if it doesn't.

@purplepoppy What did your parents do to you to make you so afraid of failure?

[Purpleronnie]

I’d say , have a backup plan / fall back and financial safety net if you can beforehand but GO FOR IT !!.


We will all fail many times at many things but you have to keep pushing and living for what you want !



Safety doesn’t protect you from regret , it just delays it

Never be afraid of following your dreams. The biggest risk is getting old before you do what you wanted to.

[AI Opinion]

Following your dreams is definitely worth it, even if it involves taking risks. Pursuing your passion can lead to personal fulfillment and happiness. Many successful individuals started by embracing their uniqueness and daring to be different. Being a comedian or creating content that interests you could lead to a fulfilling career and a sense of purpose. Remember, it's okay to feel different and challenge the status quo. 🌟 Believing in yourself and taking that leap can lead to great things. Keep striving and embrace your journey! ✨

Then go for it. You still have to pay your bills, so have a backup plan.
