I think most people have dream some are serious about it some are not. The effect of dream shattering seem to differ from each person depend on how strong their dream was and wheter it is suddenly broken or slowly broken.
I'm trying my best. There are 1. sudden shatter dream 2.slowly shatter dream
examples of sudden shattered dream
- I want to enroll to Harvard (dream shattered after knowing the score wasn't pass the minimum requirment)
- I want to win olympic gold medal ( then lost to another competitor)
- I want to get promote as CEO (co- worker get promoted instead)
- I want to have success in MLM (dream broken after learning the hard truth that it is very unlikely )
- many many others dream that the dreamers are close to archive or strongly believe that they would archive it then they don't .
After these people failed their dream they might be shocked , feeling depress, empty, lost life purpose for a while, turn to alcohol, unable to do anything or even suicide.
Example of slowly shattered dream
- I want to become successful entrepreneur
- I want to gain financial abundance
- I want something......
Most people have their dream broken slowly like this. Perhaps they don't even realize or feel shock about it . People that dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur broken their dream by learning that (they develop an excuse for it) it's not easy, it's unrealistic ,it's a childish dream or they may find something else more interesting or more significant. Then they stop following their dream.
The effect of slowly broken dream seems so little. The dreamer may live the life just as they been living. They may completely forgot about it. They may just accept or having pleasure for what they are now... (I'm sure you see a lot of these people around you )
