Life-gurus will tell you: "Pursue your dreams".
I have news.
It doesn't work.
Sorry.
Not for most of us.
Many of the things you have to do to pursue anything, you won't want to do. Nagging, cajoling, bartering, dealing with strangers, losing friends, making detailed and consistent plans, re-making those plans time and again... None of that is much fun, I don't care who you are.
You can make it a bit better, though. You can improve things slightly.
I'll tell you how.
Decide to do something you know you should do but you really don't want to. You really don't want to.
If you do that right then everything else you need to do becomes easier. It gains the attraction of a displacement activity. Amazingly, it can even become almost fun.
That's as good as it gets, I'm afraid, but it's better than not pursuing your nightmare.
