WHY ARE DREAMS IMPORTANT?
Rich dad once said, "If you want to change who you are, begin by changing the size of your dreams.".
Tayong mga tao, mayroong iba't ibang pangarap. Para sa karamihan, ito ay ang magkaroon ng malaking bahay but for others, it's as simple as being able to eat thrice a day.
Ako, aaminin ko katulad din ng pangarap ng nakararami 'yung akin. Praise the Lord, I was able to achieve that dream of mine by His grace.
Naalala ko isang beses, pumunta kami sa mansion ng isang kaibigan. Everything was so beautiful. His house is I don't know, 5-7x bigger than ours? 'Yung pangarap kong bahay noon, nakuha ko na eh.'Yung pangarap ko noon, naabot ko na. But that experience got me thinking, "Gusto ko pa bang ma-achieve 'to?" "Do I want this?"
In a different perspective, mukhang hindi marunong makuntento, 'no? But to be honest, it wasn't about the mansion anymore.
When I was still in the pursuit of my old dream, napakarami kong pinagdaanan. Kaliwa't kanan ang rejections at doubts. I fell in love with the person that I have become in the process of achieving my dreams. Sure, masaya talaga na nakatira ako sa dream house ko but I realized that what's more important is striving, learning, and doing my best to develop my personal power to reach my goal.
Nakaka-adik pala 'yung feeling na nakuha mo 'yung gusto mo sa kabila ng lahat ng hirap. Ang sarap masaksihan mismo sa sarili mo 'yung pagbabago mo-'yung self-growth.
Masasabi mong nabuhay ka sa mundong ito na walang panghihinayang dahil wala kang sinayang na oras, pagkakataon at oportunidad.
So, to you who's reading this... DREAM BIG, WORK HARD AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Only when your dreams are great can your accomplishment be great.
