We all have our dreams. Some are working hard to achieve it, while some are living their dream. Most of the people are just dreaming. They don’t take it seriously. Although it’s there in their minds and sometimes they mumble it to their friends or beloved half. At the end of the day, it fades along with the light of the sunset. Dream is a vision of hope. It provides us the necessary belief to go on in spite of hardships and obstacles in life.
Imagine yourself dreaming in a rocking chair – your feeling is so good that your face is smiling without you noticing it. It is because your dream is so big that you can embrace it right at that moment. After that, you go on with life doing the same thing and wondering why your life didn’t changed? It is because you’re probably living a life in the JUST A DREAM stage. Very few people are moving towards the stage of WORKING HARD TO ACHIEVE IT until they attained the LIVING YOUR DREAM stage. It’s because staying where you are is a lot easier than moving forward to a new direction. Even though the promise of moving forward is so huge and beneficial, we are still more afraid of traveling the journey than staying in a place of familiarity where fear and uncertainty exist.
We are satisfied on wishing our life to become better someday or hoping to hit the lotto jackpot even if the chance of winning is the same as being hit by Korean Airlines twice in the same spot. We resort to these kinds of wishes, simply because we don’t take our dream seriously. We find ways to escape the responsibility of pursuing it by finding lots of reasons…because I don’t have time, I don’t have money, I don’t have the skills, my friends don’t like it, they don’t support me, I’ not rich, I’m not good looking, etc ….People are notorious for reasoning, we always find faults to others. We blame everything under the sun except our selves. This should stop. We need to go and move on in life. We need to see ourselves as the navigators of our own lives. We need to stop finding faults to others and work hard, so hard that we could almost see ourselves living our own dreams. We need to live our lives with passion. Start looking ourselves like ultimate warriors, ready to conquer the earth and turn every rock of obstacles into liquid of hopes and achievements.
Just like every ordinary people on this earth, the Americans, Europeans and Koreans, we are Filipinos. We could do everything if we believe in ourselves, if we believe in each one of us, if we stop complaining in life and be open to the possibility of doing more than you can achieve. Have you ever asked your self, hanggang dito na lang ba ako? If not, THINK AGAIN! No matter where you are at this moment, no matter how disgusting you look, how poor you are, how broke you were, how fat you are…YOU CAN STILL LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH PASSION. This is how God created us, to make the most of ourselves and be a blessing to others. If you want your life to change, you need to change the way you think. As Hugh Prather said, ”Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.”
Start now. Don’t procrastinate. We will only live once in this world, every hour and day that will past is a day and hour of lost in our life. You could never pull it back to use again. So if you are here in Korea at isa kang istambay na walang trabaho, happy go lucky or one day millionaire kind of guy - mag-isip ka kabayan. There must be something wrong with the way things are going in you. You are losing the golden moment of your life…the opportunity of every OFWs to work hard and wisely save for their future as fast as they can, to be with your love ones and live with them as fast as you can. Don’t let the experiences of other OFWs become your sad story too. Our lives change the moment we decided to. We all have the power to attract to ourselves what ever we focus on in life - focus on important and on the things that matter most. If you think being with your friends won’t help you achieve the kind of life you envisioned, find additional friends who have the same vision and dreams like you. People of the same personality and prospective attract each other. Being with them will help you steadfastly move to the same direction.
Be responsible to yourself. Stop blaming other people. I’ve seen a lot of OFWs in this situation where people blame others for their failures. They blame everybody except themselves for not having enough savings….Kasi malakas ang gastos nila sa bahay, kasi mahal ang bilihin sa Pilipinas, kasi yung mga kapatid ko pinag-aaral ko pa, kasi hindi sila nagababayad, kasi nagamit ng mga magulang ko, kasi kailangan bumili ng ganito at ng ganun, kasi ang abu sayyaf, kasi si Gloria, kasi magnanakaw ang mga politiko, etc,. Unless we find ourselves responsible to every things we do and to every decisions we make, our lives will never change. “If you are not ready to alter your way of life, you cannot begin to heal.” Hippocrates (460-377 B.C).
Life is so good for us to waste and just let it past. Start pushing yourself towards a higher quality of life. Wipe away the dust in the box of your dreams. Create a system in life that will help push you past your obstacles, achieve your goals, take consistent action on your ideas, and ultimately help you redefine and improve the quality of your entire life. So get started now and learn how to start living your life with more passion, more happiness, and more fulfillment than ever before.
Ask yourself, does your dream will bring you happiness and satisfaction in life? If so, what’s stopping you? Make a commitment today to hold yourself accountable for your personal growth. Create a plan of your dream - write every detail and the things to do in order to accomplish it. Focus your time and energy in achieving it. No matter how afraid you are, do it anyway…along the way, you will find help and things you needed most from the people whose lives were designed to help you accomplish your dream. Stop wishing and start living. Move your feet and make things possible. Remember, there is no such thing as impossible, only laziness made things impossible. – END
