This is an important point at which to pause as so many of us think we are failing when actually we are simply not in alignment with what we really want, and we are instead pursuing the dreams and goals of other people. For you, these inherited dreams might come from a parent, a teacher who inspired you at school, or something you heard a friend say once. But ultimately, we inherited that standard or marker of success, we did not choose it and it might have overridden our own internal guidance system.
