Romans 12:2

 

I'm not overly religious but I believe in the words of the Lord. I live by the verses daily and recently, I just cant stop thinking about this verse. I've been wondering what this means to me and my life. 

Once a church pastor asked me, "What is YOUR dream?"

Of course my answer was "To finish my studies. So my family can be proud of me."

All my life I thought that was my dream. But he begged to differ. He told me that getting that degree is my OBLIGATION to my family. And MY dream is something I really want to do or become five years from now.

He had me thinking. For a long time. 

What is MY dream?

I've been lost and don't know where I'm going with my life. 

But now, as I'm writing this blog, I know now. I know what I want. I want to do it now. 

I want to start my business and just do what i love. 

I want to turn my hobbies into a business.

I WANT TO TURN MY DREAMS TO REALITY. 

And when I'm successful with my business, I'll go abroad, chase another dream, study, EXPLORE, DREAM AND DISCOVER. 

As simple as that. 

BUT What if, 

What if my obligation is the only thing holding me back from chasing my dreams?

I do want to make my family proud. But I can't do it as long as I'm tied to that obligation.Maybe that's why I'm not doing well in school. I'm not making excuses. Its just how I feel. 

I just feel like getting a degree is a requirement to society.

Its a standard in this world we live in. 

And I am very much aware that getting a college degree is imperative to my success. 

"Education is the KEY. But what if education is the key and school is the lock?" -Suli Breaks

Okay, to make the long story short, let me just share the video where I got all these mind boggling thoughts. Take time.

I WILL get that degree. I swear. 

But for now. Like, right now. 

I JUST WANT TO CHASE MY DREAMS. 

I just want to forget the standards of the world and be myself. Be who I want to be. Be the kind of woman God wants me to be.

I do have a dream. All I need is support and monetary aid. HAHAHA :)
