How To Know If Your Dreams are God's Dreams By Bo Sanchez

I just finished reading Bo Sanchez' book " How to Know if your Dreams are God's Dreams" and I could relate well with how the book has explained in knowing what God's dream is.

I have dreams that I have been able to achieve, one of which is being able to buy a house and saving up for a business when we got home here in the Philippines. But I also have dreams that are yet to be achieved. I haven't given up on achieving those dreams but there are moments that I feel like I don't really know if I can still achieve my dreams. You get into that feeling of loosing hope because you just keep on failing with everything that you do in order for you to achieve your dreams.

When we decided to leave London and go back here in the Philippines, I was so excited and I could see myself becoming a successful entrepreneur. But it did not happen. My husband and I wanted to put up a restaurant but I knew then that we did not have the enough capital yet so I opted to go for a franchise opportunity which is a food cart business. But after a few months of struggling to keep up with the business, I just had to accept that I've lost 500,000 pesos from our business. It was so hard to get over it but being the achiever and the dreamer that I was, I looked for another business opportunity that will help me recover from that financial loss from our previous business. That's how I got into MLM or network marketing. I was so decided at that time that it was the fastest way that I can get back what I have lost financially. I have been using the products anyway so I might as well learn how to do the business. But I failed again. What can I do? It was my first attempt in learning the MLM business and I was so naive with all the things that is happening in the MLM industry. As a newbie, you are told to follow your Upline because they already know what they are doing and that's what we did,only to find out that we are being used by our Upline for his own personal gains.

But you know what, it did not stop me from jumping to another MLM business opportunity. Though feeling devastated at that time, after loosing more than 300,000 pesos from the previous MLM company, I did not want to give up. I wanted to prove myself in this field. I wanted so hard to be one of the MLM top earners and be known. I wanted to be popular and see myself being praised by newbies in the MLM for earning millions and having tons of followers. 

I didn't realize at that time though if it was what I really wanted. I mean, I want to earn millions but not just to be popular but because I want to secure the future of my family especially for my children. I wanted to be in that position where I could be a leader because I want to help other people succeed as well. 

Reading Bo Sanchez book has made me realize all of this. According to his book, here are the three most

important things you need to become a great success in life: Desire, Belief, and Action.

Desire

You need to want your dream from the depths of your

soul. How intensely do you desire your dream? How

deeply do you want it to happen? Many people don’t

achieve their dreams because they don’t want it bad enough.

Belief

Belief is nothing else but a feeling of certainty. The more

certain you feel that you can accomplish your dream, the

faster you can make them a reality. Many people don’t

achieve their dreams because in their heart of hearts, they

doubt they can really do it.

Action

Albert Einstein said, “Nothing happens unless something

moves.” Successful people aren’t the most knowledgeable

people on earth. But you can be totally sure that all of

them have a bias for action. Many people don’t achieve

their dreams because they know but they don’t act.

It made me realize that I was able to achieve my dream of buying our house because I wanted my kids to have a home. And I never stopped until I was able to achieve it because badly wanted it for my family. And my family is the most important thing in this world. I don't know where I would be right now if I don't have them. You know what, while writing this, I have tears flowing down my eyes because there are so many things I have been realizing and they are coming into my thoughts which makes my heart cry. 

With so many things that I have learned with all my business ventures and loosing huge amounts of money that could total to more than 1 Million pesos, I have certainly found what I want to do and how to do it so I can achieve my dreams for me and my family and be able to help other people as well. I love reading, writing and talking so I am using this gifts from God in achieving my dreams. I am still into MLM businesses and I have learned to venture into other types of business that allows me to have multiple sources of income.

For a time, I have lost myself and I really don't know what I want in life. I felt so confused because I am so afraid to fail again and again. But God is really good, He never failed me, He always made me feel that He's just beside me. And I think that is one of the most important lesson that this book has taught me, that my dreams should have a deeper reason why I want to achieve it and that it should be connected to my life's purpose of being able to help other people and not just myself.

If You Believe It, You Will Achieve It

When you dream and you visualize it and you never stop thinking about it, you are able to get it. And I can attest to it.

Way back in High School, after seeing Citta Italia from afar, I said to myself, I will definitely buy a house here. I was so determined to fulfill that dream that even after graduating from High School and College, I never forgot about it.

But I knew it would take me long enough to fulfill my dreams of being able to buy the house just by working here in the Philippines. I was working as a call center agent jumping from one call center to another trying to land on a bigger salary offer. So when the opportunity came for me to be able to go to London, even if I knew that I would be leaving my husband and my son for a few months before I am able to bring them to London also, I took the the chance because I knew that it was the decision that I have to make to change our lives the fastest way that I can. It must have been a hard and painful decision since my son was just turning 2 years old at that time but I had to take the courage of thinking for a better future ahead of us. All I know is that I was going to give myself just 5 years maximum of working abroad and in such time, I should be able to buy my dream house at Citta Italia and save up for a business when we go back home in the Philippines.

I kept thinking about this everyday. I would always be on the internet looking for different house models of Citta Italia making myself feel that I am on my way choosing the right house model for my dream house. Until one day, I knew that from the salary that I was earning, I could finally start buying my dream house in Citta Italia.

Here are some of the pictures that was sent to me while we were still in London after our house was built.

Seeing this pictures really made me feel so proud that I was able to make one of my dreams come true. If you really want something in life, you just have to go after it. Take all the necessary steps that you have to do to make your dreams come true. 

This house was built from hard work and from the dream of being able to live inside Citta Italia. I never let go of that dream even if it took a while and I had to make a hard decision, that hardest decision that I ever had to make really paid off. 

I feel so proud with this achievement. It is really true that "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve". So for those who are reading this, and have lost hope with their dreams, you still have a chance to make that decision to go after your dreams. Keep dreaming but also keep on making actions that will make you realize your dreams.

My Inevitable Dream

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable."Christopher Reeve

I think most of us even when we were still kids have imagined what our dream house is.  Our dream house might have changed while growing up or because of the situation that we are into, we might have forced ourselves to forget the dream house we used to look forward to that someday will be ours.

When I was in High School, I saw this place Citta Italia in Cavite and I told myself, that I will buy my first house there. My life was not really such a success. I worked as a call center agent and moved from one call center to another trying to find the right company and right account to handle. I tend to easily get bored with a a routinary job so I keep on changing work. And the salary is not that big enough for me to save for the house I wanted to aim for in Citta Italia.

Fortunately, since my parents were in London at that time, though I was denied for my first visa application to go there, I passed the second application. I was able to bring my husband and my son as well so it wasn't really such a painful sacrifice of leaving the Philippines at that time.

I told myself at that time, I will make use of my time working in London to save up for my dream house at Citta Italia within 5 years only. I didn't really intend to stay for long working and living in a different country as I really don't feel comfortable with the idea. 

But God was really good that He blessed us with work that enabled us to save up for the house and finally we have come home to our house here in Citta Italia. And we have been living here for the past 2 years since we went back home here in the Philippines.

But as I have said, change is the only permanent thing in this world. While we are happy living in my dream house, it does not stop there. I ought to have the right to dream more especially for our kids as our family is growing.

I saw this video and I literally went to check the house how it looks like for real and how it feels like to go around the house. I knew that feeling, like how I felt when I said to myself firmly that I wil own a house in Citta Italia. I know right at this moment that whatever it takes, I will own this house in 2014 and I will celebrate my 32nd birthday in that house.

I know some of you might be raising their eyebrows while reading this, some might be inspired to have such strong conviction of one's self to declare something like this. But I can't be bothered really. I know I will do whatever it will take for me to get this house for real!

Like most of you, there is no charge to dream and make it come true. Just go for it!
