Every dream starts with
a dreamer. A person needs to possess the strength, the passion, the
perseverance, and the courage to pursue them. A dream does not come like magic
which happens in a blink of an eye without any conscious effort. Any dream, big
or small, can do come true.
It has been many years
that I’ve been so curious about Cebu and some of the remarkable places there
that I see in pictures or read in books. What ignited my interest in visiting
the place is that it is very close to my hometown, Siaton, Negros Oriental, but
I haven’t had the chance of being there. Now that I’m already working and
earning on my own, I have realized that many things are already within my reach
since I have a little bit of resources to suffice my simple, little dreams.
Last year (2012), my
sister, my mom, aunts, grandma, and I booked a trip to that beautiful island
well-known to many tourists. Another realization that came to me was, in order
for you to achieve your dreams, there will be people who will serve as
instruments to make the ladder to your dream easier to climb. I am grateful to
some of my relatives who have been so supportive of me and my family. Another
realization I had was that, for a dream to be realized, one must have the patience
to wait. It does not come in an instant if it’s not yet the right timing.
Early this year,
January, 2013, we had our most-anticipated family trip to Cebu. Two weeks
before the trip, I had to make the itinerary (at least, list of places) to
visit there. I listed most of the well-known places close to Cebu City where
Cebu Business Hotel is located.
While listing, I came across this picture of some historical landmarks
in Cebu… (I told myself, “I shall take pictures of these places when I get
there.”)
While collating my pictures after the trip, I noticed that I was able
to take snapshots of the places (with ME on it) I listed and posted a week before the trip.
This simple illustration of a dream come true may be too shallow yet it
gave me a strong impact. Dreams do really come true if we make ways to achieve
it. And, as I said earlier, a dream starts with a dreamer. There is indeed no
impossibility in realizing the desires of our hearts.
Dream big! ^_^
