The Value of your Dreams

"Big people have big dreams, and small people have small dreams. If you want to change who you are, begin by changing the size of your dream." This statement from Rich Dad is something that I will never forget.

Five months ago, I resigned from my work in eTelecare as a recruiter. That was the time when I decided to pursue my dreams. Before I left, I asked them what their dreams were. Someone told me that he wanted to have a car. Another one told me that she wanted to have her own junk shop business in Tuguegarao. Most of them were not able to answer.

Then someone asked me, "what's your dream? why do you have to resign? The salary and benefits here are quite good." I simply smiled and told her, "I just want a simple life." When she asked what a simple life looks like for me, I just enumerated what I wanted.

My Simple Dream
a. Lots of time with my family
b. a white two-storey house on top of a cliff overlooking the ocean.
c. below the cliff, there's a white beach resort
d. a white yacht
e. a private jet

They only understood the first simple dream.

So why am I shifting from being an Employee to becoming a Business Owner? Why am I ready to take on the challenges and all the pain that this will bring? What keeps me going?

These simple dreams propel me.

My simple dreams left my friends' in a state of shock and disbelief. I don't know what will happen to them when they know of my big dreams.
