Reaching For A New Dream

Dreams are the fuel that helps us get started, the destination our hearts long for. Dreams give us direction and purpose for every waking moment.

And then one day, you wake up to the reality of the fulfillment of that dream. You've made it!

You've reached your goals and aspirations. I am at the point in my life where my dreams have become a reality.

From a young age, I dreamed of a normal life and nothing too extravagant. I just dreamed of having a happy family and a successful career. I settled and start to build my own family quite ate, already in my early 30's. I have been blessed with two children and a loving husband. As parents we wanted to ensure that we can provide them with a comfortable life and with the best education possible.

In my life's journey, I went through tough times and encountered unexpected trials-and that's life! But life has to moved on, I have slowly reached my dreams. Both of my children are now in college, 2 and 3 years from now, they will be professionals on their own chosen field. An achievements not only for them but for us parents as well. Another milestone in my life is retiring from my work as Administrative Assistant in our family owned company that I loved and served for 20 years.

And then I thought, what's next for me? What lies ahead after reaching your dreams?

Dream a new dream.

1. Going outside my comfort zone.

Aspiring and struggling to learn new skills, I hope to cope up with this high tech and in demand field. My new goal is to try my luck in the world of Virtual Assistance. To achieve this, I've taken an online course for Virtual Assistant with Filipino Virtual Assistance or #FVA. These have motivated and equipped me on my next journey.

2. Motherhood for Young Adults.

Motherhood is a never-ending responsibility is what I have realized and proven right. With prayers, love and support , I am wishing them success on their careers that will bring them immense fulfillment and purpose.

"Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead."

- Nelson Mandela

Each milestone is marked by a moment of pride and celebration . But it's never too late to start a new journey. How about you? What do you think has been the biggest milestone in your personal growth? Once you reach your dreams, are you willing to dream a new dream?

Come journey with me as I reach my next milestone!
