Create Your Dream

I was very impressed with this decoration


Was at the mall a few days ago.

Occasionally, when the concourse is vacant, it looks really bland. However, this time round, it was very nicely decorated to promote an upcoming movie, Alice in Wonderland.

Which made me think. Isnt it the same as life? It is up to us to achieve our dreams, to make it end or move or live the way we want?

We are always surrounded by people who moan about the mediocrity in life. But when we share about how to improve, we are given the 'nah, that's not for me' or 'nah, that's too much work'

Same like the FitLine business. Yes, it's a lot of work. But I believe sincerely and wholeheartedly that all the sowing will eventually reap rewards BIG TIME.

Dreams Do Come True

Why are dreams so important? It gives you HOPE. HOPE is the mental food for the brain, just like we need to eat for our body. (Of course HOPE without action is mere delusion)

And without hope, our sense of existence is just existence, waiting for time to pass. HOPE you gives you the fuel to keep your desire burning, day in and out even when the going gets tough.

With this, I would like to share this video clip which truly outlines the meaning of HOPE. Where there is HOPE, there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. This video is a classic case of Hope. (Bring out the tissues, please)

And I also believe that when your faith and desire in your hope is so strong, the universe will bend backwards and see that all is fulfilled (in this case, Charisse gets noticed by superstars like Oprah and Celine)

So, there is always HOPE and dreams DO come true.

Be confident of yourself

I recently attended a money management talk conducted by a local author. I always enjoy (especially when it's FREE) going for talks to see what I can learn from the author and also whether the person is suitable to become my business partner.

Of course, at the end of the talk, I did learn one or two things. However, what shocked me was the way the author degraded herself. Since it was a money management talk, I expected the author to be confident of herself that she was on her way to financial freedom.

Instead, she kept on trashing herself that she is poor.

I understand that the initial years of an entrepreneur is tough. You are just scrapping by to pay the bills. However, those who succeed, have a burning desire to fulfill their dream.

This author has big dreams too. However, I found that she contradicted herself by saying that she doesnt have to be rich. Or should I say it's not necessary to be rich. During the talk, I voiced my opinions that I didnt agree to certain things she said.

Anyway, at the end of the talk, I approached her to thank her for the talk. And lo and behold. I could feel that her energy level is SO low as though she has lost her confidence!

Hmmm...how do you achieve big dreams if you dont have energy and confidence?

Dreams

I managed to watch the rerun of Oprah Winfrey's featuring 16 year old singing sensation, Charise Pempengco from the Philippines.

Charise discovered she had a talent for singing at the tender age of 4. Ever since then, she entered every singing competition and has won each and every contest. The contest was a way of helping her mom to bring food to the table. Charise and her mom had to leave their violent father and started life anew.

Armed with nothing but a dream and faith in God, she kept her faith that ONE day, she will sing with her idol, Celine Dion. She kept drawing, visualing herself, on the stage, singing with Celine Dion.

And the day, did arrive, 12 years later. Someone discovered her on youtube, and mentioned it to Oprah. And everything else is history. Oprah has the ability to help anyone's dream come true. And she did.

What did I learnt from this 16 year old diva? You have just got to protect your dream. It's your dream, and only you, can make sure it's kept alive. And coupled with strong faith, the right people will just enter into your life and help to make your dream come true.

So, believe that your dream will come true. Because, dreams do come true.

I know and I believe that with FitLine, my dreams will come true.

Dream Stealers

Today, I had lunch with an old friend. Someone whom I havent seen for ages.

The first thing she commented when she saw me was 'You lost weight!' (That shows how long I havent seen her. I have lost my weight and maintained the weight loss for more than a year now)

We started talking about our careers, how our mutual friends are doing and finally she asked exactly what I did to lose weight.

I told her I went on the FitLine Weight Management Program and have maintained the weight loss via daily exercise and now, preparing for my Mount K trip.

She then commented 'Eh, you sure you can manage the climb ah? It's very tough one you know...'

I was practically speechless for a split second the moment I heard this. I have known this friend for more than 10 years and THAT remark was the least I have expected from her.

I then proceeded to tell her that I have been training diligently for the past 3 months for Mount K and I'm sure I will succeed climbing the highest mountain in South East Asia.

I was also thinking. THANK GOODNESS I didnt share with her my dreams. My dreams of achieving financial freedom, my dreams of being of service to others, etc. She would be one of the many dream stealers lurking around.

Sad isnt, that a friend has regressed in mindset? But that is life. Not many choose to adjust their sail to arrive at their destination. They just rely on the wind to take them wherever.
