In today’s community, people are more focused on setting goals of their lives. I believe that having a certain aim in life gives a clear pathway. However, it is a negative development because sometimes individuals forget to pay attention to their mental health in order to achieve their dreams.
On the one hand, a person who sets an aim can have a clear vision of the future. As per requirement of any desirable job, he or she can choose the education and training accordingly. As a result, proper guidance and skills not only makes that person more confident, but also opens the wide doors for well-paid desired employment by polishing the skills. For instance, if someone have a dream to be an international registered nurse, then that person will definitely choose a bachelor’s of nursing program and will spend 4 to 5 years in that education to enhance practical skills and to be RN in any other country.
On the other hand, the negative impact of being too ambitious cannot be ignored. In order to achieve the goal as soon as possible, people often feel more stressful. This put a bad impact on their psychological well-being as well as on their personal relationships. Thus, a person can achieve desirable occupation by setting dreams but cannot fix the family relationships and mental status. For example, in order to be in highly paid fields,workers have to pass the tough examinations nowadays, but this often leads to anxiety and depression in them.
In conclusion, even though it is good to have ambitions for a better vision of goals, but sometimes this puts a negative impact on mental health and on social life.
