I was very fortunate growing up in a big beautiful house when I first moved to the United States with my parents and my brother. My parents had bought the house a few years before adopting us and my dad is an amazing handyman that he renovated and painted most of the house himself! Talk about impressive.
When we arrived, he had painted a beautiful yellow sun, the moon and stars in my room. It was just perfect. My parents decided to move back to Long Island due to missing the family. When we first moved back, we lived in my aunt's gorgeous house for a few years before my parents found a house.
When I first saw the house I thought "what the heck is this?" It was nothing compared to our Wisconsin home and certainly nothing like my aunts as well. It was white and dull-looking to my taste and the outside was made of stucco. For those three years before my mom decided to renovate it into her own liking, I was embarrassed to have my friends over since they all had really nice houses with a pool in the backyard.
Now looking back I feel guilty because at least we had a house for god sake! I knew what my dream house would look like all the way down the paintings on the wall. My mom always told me to work for it just like she did.
Since February Pablo and I have been looking at houses since our family will be growing soon. I've always loved the modern, minimalist look, contemporary, the house has so many names but that abstract rectangular looking houses with the huge stain glass windows, that is right up my alley!
I could talk all day about what my dream house will look like but I wanted to ask all of you, what is driving you at the moment? What are your goals? Where do you want to see yourself in 5 years? Now it's crazy, I've never been into listing a 5-year plan, my dad did that and almost all of what's been on his list, he has accomplished. I'm not saying that it isn't ideal but I guess for me, life is so unpredictable why even try?
Manifestation and doing necessary work is one thing. That's what we've been doing to try and accomplish all of our dreams. I tell you, people, if you had read my other blogs, I discuss in a whole blog the power of manifestation and how it has worked for me thus far. But whatever route you decide to take in order to accomplish your dreams, whether it be writing out a 5-year plan or however many years, or manifesting, allowing the universe to do their part and you do yours, or both!!
I think having a purpose or a drive when it comes to making your dreams a reality will allow the process to be more exciting and fulfilling. It not only will get you motivated to get out of bed and, do the necessary requirements but, the happier you feel when doing such tasks will allow your journey to becoming more rewarding.
As I search for my dream house, or we might take the route where we design and then have someone build what we like, I think about the purpose and how awesome it feels going through the process and the fulfillment I will feel when it actually comes into fruition. You can't just love the end of the journey or goal, you need to be able to love and accept the in-between as well. Just think about a time where you reached your goal, and how hard it was sometimes to get out of bed and go after it, but now you look back, and hopefully, you appreciate yourself more for going through it 100 percent.
My drive comes from seeing how hard my dad and mom worked to get the house they wanted. They both worked their butts off and we all know hard work pays off. Their purpose was not only for themselves but, because of my brother and myself.
Now as I am slowly reaching the goals I aspire to accomplish, I think about my precious girl on the way and Pablo, and of course the luxury of space we will have when we acquire our dream home. I think about when our families will come and visit and how comfortable and proud they will be when they stay at our house! If that doesn't get me riled up then I don't know what will, you know? That's why folks, in order to accomplish anything, please, please, PLEASE have a drive!!
I want all of you, who have not yet figured out their purpose for the next goal you want to accomplish, to come up with some. Whether it be your kids, you're currently working your butt off because you want to become rich, or you just want to live a fruitful life by yourself on your own private island, whatever it is think about what will motivate you to grind every day until you reach your goal.
Always remember "Push yourself, because no one else is going to do it for you."
