It doesn't just mean there is only one ideal dream life to be living. For some people, to create a dream life is to be working at a job that they love, or being able to enter a flow state of mind while working. For others, it's being in good physical health, having a loving family, a strong network of friends.

Living your dream life is often as simple as determining what your own personal needs are and ensuring they are continually met. Honoring your needs is essential for self-respect, because once you claim what your needs are, you can make changes to your life and lifestyle that reflect those needs.
