It all starts this way. One day a great dream dawns on me, a dream so big that I don’t even know where to start, such a big dream that I get excited and I thank God for letting me see it. I promise to enjoy the journey to the destination. Every day I see myself with a smile, living that dream. I am convinced that I deserve to live it and that I’m good enough to live it with God’s help. It becomes that there is no other option in my soul than to realize this dream.

Over time I struggle to remain faithful to the original dream, not to let anything or anyone change it. I may face failure and discouragement along the way, I may want to give up. I begin to fight the temptation to see myself as crazy to chase the dream but I know I’m not alone. In this moment God is my strength. In this moment I look back with a smile living my dream. That strength and vision keep me motivated to give the best of me, to take advantage of every moment and not waste a minute of it. Now my faith is strengthened.

Over time I see that I am halfway to my dream. I have not yet come but the road is not as long as before. At this point I get excited a little, and things get a little easier. I reflect on this now, I thank God and I see how far I have come, I see what I have learned from the journey. I see that I have not only been pursuing a dream but also have been pursuing a transformation towards a better person. I start not just wanting to live that dream, but also wanting to be that person who is at the end of that road. I begin to imagine what me as a person will be doing as I live that dream, how I will act. I see what it will take to be that person.

With this clear vision of the person that I am becoming, I still have the other half of the journey. Gradually I see that the fight for my dream is no longer a struggle, the process becomes natural and even fun, it becomes a game. I have a constant question in my mind What will I repeat or do differently today to get a step closer to my dream? Days, months or maybe years pass, but despite the time my dream is still as alive as ever and I’ve crossed the ocean, I’ve became the person I dreamed so many days.

At this moment when I become the person of my dreams my dreams also come true. At this time the dream is alive in its fullness. I enjoy every moment. I keep thanking God and I am proud of myself. In this moment I’m going through something unforgettable, amazing and wonderful The dream is better than I imagined!

I see that everything was worth it because I not only have the dream, but I also have the testimony. I have not only reached my dream, but have become a better person for having pursued it. So I go from dream to dream. I’ve started and finished these journeys again and again in all their phases. These journeys are what makes life incredible, wonderful and inspiring. So I am not satisfied with less than my dreams. Life can be better than we think if only we dare to dream and travel to those dreams.

2014 has been a year of many blessings and learning for me. Life has taught me things that have touched my heart. First of all I want to thank god for another year of life. Another year of joy, happiness and blessings. I know that this year has had its difficulties but I bring the good into 2015 and not the bad. I bring what I have learned, what makes me a better person in 2015.

One of the most impactful things I have seen in 2014 that has touched my heart and that has helped me to continue on is seeing the big hearts of people that I admire alot. These people have helped and been there for those in need even when they had great necessity themselves. There are many ways in which we can help, since there are many forms of necessity. Sometimes we need someone to listen, sometimes we don’t have a place to go, sometimes we need to renew our spirits in order to continue forward with our dreams…. Whatever the necessity is God can transform our hearts so we are able to be there for those in need.

In life everyone will need help and support, for that we have God and the people that he brings to help and support us. I give thanks to God for those who have helped and supported me on my journey. I hope to continue giving like these people have given to me. Whatever happens we have to be there for each other and whatever happens we have to love one another. These things are unconditional.
