Recognizing When You Are Still In Love With Your Dreams

For a long period of time I tried to forget about my dreams. The dream that I worked hard for, and felt like was commissioned to me by the God almighty. I am not a materialistic person, I am contented with what I have, and happy to have enough, but there is this planted vision in my heart, that keeps going back to me, no matter how hard I try to forget. I guess, it will always be impossible for me to stand back. I feel like I am betraying the youth that I promised of a possible change in my family. The ripple effect of empowerment. Imagine all generations in the family, need not to worry about how they will finish their schooling. There will be no one left behind, everyone will have a chance to have a bright future.

In my effort to help, I am now in a situation, where I do not know if I can recover. All I wanted was to help! One to two person, would make a difference already. How does one turned his/her back into a vision that you see while hearing the words of God inside the church. I envisioned it through him, inside the church; while hearing God's words. He will make it happen. I saw the vision of orphaned kids having the chance for an education. This is why I always ask, why me? It is such a big vision, for someone as little as me. I was grateful to have the help, and realized this could be the reason why I was chosen. Could it be that through me, there will be a ripple effect of change that could happen?

I already made a difference with one, with the help of an Aunt, who has always been self-less to also help us when we were young. I am sure my niece, who successfully finished her schooling will also make a difference by helping in her sister's education. This was all I wanted, to help, and make a small impact through this business venture. I never got to use my degree in Business Management, and so I thought it could be this leading me to it too. It was just too painful to hear at times that some of the members of my family would not have enough to get by. The family expenses is okay, but the education part felt important for me. I felt the need for change, bridge in the gap between the generations of EHLSSA'S to help their cousins, and the future generation of the family through the business. It won't take that much to help!

So when do you know you are still in love with your dreams? When ideas are naturally flowing into you, at the moment you wake up. It becomes a part of you, that it constantly reminds you not to give up. Though, most of the time, you do not know how you will make it happen. Keep it simple, keep it happy! Maybe start really small too!

How can a dream be taken away from a heart and soul that envisioned it from the very beginning? It is at my core, it was my heart, and my faith was my guiding light! Lovely Ehlssa, is a product of "love". It can never be replicated, as it is my "LOVE" for my family that brought it. My love for dress designs, and my heart that "cares". The same heart that cares that we mostly see with everyone.

Circumstances may change, but once a vision is planted into you, it will be hard to turn away from it. So how does one easily forget about his/her dreams? I guess it will never be easy to do it. Time will tell where everything may lead for me. One thing I only ask for from God, I hope it would be a positive one. He knows my heart's intentions. May he bless me always, and lead me to the fulfillment of my dreams. A dream that is not for me, but for the youth that will be reached by the Lovely Ehlssa Youth Empowerment Program.
