Dreams. When asked about this, most people are silent and can not answer the question: "What are your goals?". If you are one of them, then it's not too late to look for your dreams.

Why should you have goals?

When you have goals, you live your life with a purpose. Without a goal, you will lose your way and sometimes just spin in place. With ideals, you know where to go.

Don't worry, your goals can change at any time. In fact, it is possible to have more than one. More details, we will discuss in this article.

How to set goals

The easiest way is to imagine yourself in the future. Now, take a pen and paper, and write down the answers to these questions:

"When you get old, what do you want to live like?"

Don't let your dreams be just dreams

Can you answer that? Usually the answer is, want to have fun enjoying life, have passive income, don't want to work but want to have your own business, and so on. Are you like that too?

Now try to be more specific about your future:

"When I get old, what have I done?"

The key word is, "when you are old, what have you done?" - that is, when you are old, what have you achieved? You can do your research first, you don't have to answer and think about it first. Be specific and as detailed as possible.

Since we have different answers, let's make an example. Let's just say this is the answer:

Already have their own business, in the fields of design and technology.

Been working for years as a designer. If possible, I want to also have work experience outside Indonesia.

I already have a product (app / website) that I make myself and are used by many people

With this, we have succeeded in finding our ideals and dreams - which we will call: Dream Paragraph

"Want to have your own business in the fields of design and technology, become a designer with experience at home and abroad, and also want to make your own digital products"
