Life can be hard when you are trying to reach your goals and fulfill your dreams, and you may have to do what you have to do until you can do what you want. This is not selling out or settling, it is being practical and realistic so that you can achieve what you hope to accomplish and do what truly makes you happy. Many famous celebrities were employed as waiters, personal assistants, and in numerous other low paying positions before they received their big break. Most people do not start life out in an ideal position, being able to do what they love right from the start without ever having to work hard and put in serious effort. When you can do what you want and work at something that you love then it does not seem like work at all, but you may have to do something else until you reach this point.
If you can not do what you want to do this does not mean to give up your dreams, hopes, and goals. It just means that you may have to work harder and do something else in the meantime until you have what you need so that you can do what you love. Remember when you are doing something that is not your dream your effort is still an important part of the plan and is necessary so that you can eventually achieve what you are trying to accomplish. If you stick with it and do what you have to then you will be successful in the future and will finally be able to do what you want and what you love to do.
