Following your own American Dream

                Have you ever thought about what you need to do to achieve your own American dream, or what the American dream means to you? Well since the American dream is often seen as a generalized idea not everyone looks into deciding their own, taking steps to follow it, or to what the American dream personally means to them. The way you decide your own American dream is by finding what your true goals are, and what you want more than anything to achieve.

                After you have decided your view of the American dream, and begin to follow it there are basic steps to take. First make an outline something to follow. A basic outline that has room for change will be a basic guide for your, so that you may stay on the right path with minor changes. The outline should consist from start to finish, and everything in between. Start with what your dream is, then what path you should take life wise to reach it, and at the end your achieved goal. Now with the outline you want to make approximated times that everything will be done. With enough room that it is able to deviate that way you can follow your path without being pressed from time or stuck on a tight schedule for your life.

                After the outline is done try to keep your life going along it. Attend any specific school or programs that aid toward reaching your goal. Plan out collage and jobs so that your American dream can become realized in the future. Part of this should be finding the smartest and you’re most preferred schools, and jobs. Do not go to a collage or job that you do not like because they are cheaper, or pay better. With that also do not do the opposite by going to a collage or working a job where you love more than anything, but puts your dream or lifestyle in jeopardy.

                With this you should be able to define what the American Dream means to you, and how to use that to make goals for your life and follow the path to achieving them. You can now break from any generalization of the American Dream, and let it become what you want and what you need to be. This is how you lead a good, happy, well preserved life. This will keep the future going strong and fresh, and stand apart from society and generalizations about people.
