Strolling to my dream
How does it feel to be a dreamer?
Well I can say it’s great… since I was little, I always have my dreams and imagination. One of the dream that I remember was that I wished I had a twin sister…and no… it’s not happening, my mom never came to me until this day telling me that I had a twin sister :p. There are dreams that only an imagination, and there are dreams that we can reach if we really want it to happen.
Meanwhile I have a lot of dreams that I want it to come true. If I can list it down, here are some of my dreams:
1. Being a writer, write a book or writing that can inspire people to get to the full of themselves and be happy
2. Traveling to cool places in the world like going to Europe, Greece, Israel, Brazil, Africa, Christmas in New York, Tibet, Bhutan, and so many other places :)
3. Touching and feeling the snow also one of my dreams
4. Meeting Paulo Coelho, spending a nice tea time together while discussion about life, and writing a book with Paulo (this is really a big dream :p)
5. Helping the less fortunate people (I might be selfish to put this dream as number 5 :p)
6. Establish a place for elderly people to live happily and at the same time a place for the less fortunate kids to stay and have a family
7. Having my portrait painted by some street artist with the European background
8. Set up my own business
9. Marrying a good trustable guy who has integrity (well it’s on number 9 list, and sound very complicated criteria for the guy) and have great cheerful funny and beautiful kids :p
10. To see my Oma recognizing me again, knowing that it’s me, her favorite grand daughter, and I want to show her by that time that I’m marrying a great guy as I promised her years ago before she suffers from the senility.
11. Being the unseen angel for those who need help :p (well I start by collecting pretty angels in my house)
12. Living in Tuscany for a few months and pretend to be an Italian :p
13. Winning a noble prize for a certain category… which I don’t know yet what is that :p
14. Able to make the best tiramisu in the world
15. and so many other dreams
Well my dreams are going to be just dreams if I never do anything. These days I try to pay more attention to my dreams, and evaluate what I can do to reach each one of it step by step, slowly but sure.
This time last year, I was dreaming, praying and hoping to be able to have my own house, believe it or not God bought me a nice apartment which is only a walking distance from my office. This time last year, I didn’t think that I would have that much of money to buy the apartment, but believe it or not, the one I call Lord or God (sometimes) giving me things beyond my expectation :). He surprises me with a nice apartment at the beginning of this year. I said God bought me this apartment, because by that time I didn’t know that I would have enough money for the down payment, and suddenly I have money enough to pay the down payment. Though I still have to pay the 80% through the loan from the bank, I still believe that every month I’m blessed with the money for paying my apartment.
Another dream to come true… I think I will go to Europe in short time, which I never thought that this would happen as soon as now. I’m so excited, because so far until now everything seems so smooth, I get the ticket, my mom excited to hear me going with a hope that I would meet someone who will be my husband :p (well she’s so desperate for me to get married soon, since my younger sister will get married next month :p), my uncle, my cousin, my best friends… they are all excited and helping me preparing everything. From the winter jacket, the stocking (believe it or not), the route, places to go :), the food I should eat, where to find the street artist to paint my pictures… I’m so excited, though I try to keep it down, I mean in a normal excitement level, since I haven’t got my visa yet, but I cannot help of being so happy like this.
I do really believe when we dream good dreams, a positive dreams that can make our soul happy… those dreams will come true if we want to wake up in the morning and try to make it through. There’s a time to dream, and there’s a time to make the dreams come true.
I always encourage everyone to have dreams, and I love to hear other people’s dream, from the simple one to the complex dreams :). Because I do believe that dreams make people alive in their soul. People without dream looks like a living body but comma in the inside. Sometimes to reach the dreams, we need to leave the convenience stage in life, and learn to step our feet out to the uncertainty, then life will open itself toward us and showing us secrets to reach the dreams we have. Sometimes to reach our dreams, we have to leave all that we have… sometimes we have to leave the precious thing in our life, just to move our feet forward reaching our dreams. Well it sounds dangerous and uncertain, but I believe that’s the art of reaching the dreams.
To reach your dreams sometimes you have to let go things that you have in your hands, once you let go those you grab tightly in your hand, life will send you other things better than the one you hold closely before. Never hold certain thing in life too tight, because if we do so then we will never let other better things to come to into our lives.
I feel like ‘Santiago’ in one of Paulo’s famous book, the alchemist. That we should nurture our dreams, and make it come true, that’s how to keep our soul alive and excited :).
I feel so happy and contented now :)
