I am trying my best to achieve my dream. I have sacrificed a lot for this and yet I am not even close to achieving it. What do I do?

You’d better off being more specific. How long have you pursued your dream? 2 weeks? 2 years? 20 years?
 
If you’ve pursued your dream for less than 2 years, you are incredibly immature to even ask the question. If you’ve been building your dream for 10 years, well, it’s time to ask yourself if that is really your dream or if you’ve been chasing something external.
 
If you dream has a money target – if I make $1M a month I will be happy . . . well, no you won’t. You have a dumb dream.
 
Based on the lack of clarity of the question, this is either a BS question or you don’t have a real dream, you just want something.
 
The more you WANT it, the less you can HAVE it. Wanting puts in front of us the stark reality of what we do not currently have. Give up wanting  and do the things you are called to do daily so you can simply have what you desire.
