I still remember the day when I day-dreamed myself as a Motivational Speaker. It was 8 months ago and I posted my vision, my desire on Steemit too. At first I did not know where the dream came from, but then I gave this day dream of mine a deep serious thought. Without any doubt I knew in my heart that I love motivating people, with this I decided to pursue my dream with all my energy. I started honing my knowledge, examining people & their behaviour and improve upon my speaking skills.
To fine tune my public speaking skills, I joined Toastmasters. I had my Toastmasters meeting today like every other Saturday. I go to my club and meet my fellow Toastmasters and all of us together hone our Public Speaking Skills. But today, while sitting there on that particular chair where I always prefer to sit, I had a day dream, again. A very profound serious dream - Open a NGO for Elderly People.
While the speaker on stage was delivering his speech, I was lost in my dream. I imagined a non profit organisation where I am helping elderly people. I imagined a guy driving rashly outside my NGO on a rainy day and dropping his father with a big soggy bag. The guard asks the old guy to come in as it was raining heavily. I am there too inside the building, it comes to my notice that there is someone outside. I asked the old man to come in who is clearly in a traumatic state. The old man starts crying when I looked at him. I call my staff in hassle and ask them to bring water and towels.
Suddenly I hear claps all around because the speaker in real life at my toastmasters club just finished his speech. I came back to the club from my dream with the clap sound but the day dream stuck with me then and there. Since then I have been thinking about it. I had a 2 hour travel after the club meeting to my home town to meet my mum & dad and I just kept thinking about the idea over and over again in my mind.
While thinking, I had doubts of all kind. From where will I bring the money, how would my family feel about it, Where would I open it, I would need a staff. To all the questions, I heard answers coming from inside only- Your family would love you for this and would surely support you in this. Earn the money and start it, God will send some help.
Exactly at the moment, one of the most amazing thoughts I believe in hit my mind
GOD WOULD NEVER PUT A DREAM INSIDE YOU IF HE HIMSELF IS NOT SURE ABOUT YOU ACHIEVING IT. He is so sure that you can do it, why are not you?
Immersed in my serious deep thoughts,I decided that I will make it happen. I discussed it with my boyfriend and he already liked my idea and just said 'Wow, nice, do it little girl'.I promised myself 15 years from now, I will turn this day dream into reality. I have a list of serious things I want to achieve in the next 15 years and I added this plan into my list. Gradually I will start my study around the facts of how to start a NGO, how to run it, what you need and every little detail. I am going to do proper study first and then bring it into execution. I know this dream is not a joke but a very serious responsibility that is why I gave myself good time of 15 years, no pressure but ample amount of time to make it possible without excuses and hurdles of life.
Just to add onto a little background, I am totally parent-lover kind of person. I am very emotional when it comes to parents and not just my parents - anyone's. I have a cousin who beats his mom and dad, and has thrown them out of their own big house. Everyone around has tried every way of helping that mentally sick guy but nothing worked out. I had my heart in my mouth for days when the whole thing was happening. What makes me more ashamed is that he is my cousin and my aunt raised him with so much love.I am quite surprised what went wrong here since I know both my aunt and my cousin. Not just him, I know many children around me who do not care about their parents, about their feelings and their needs. I just feel so bad about the way some children turn up or what causes them to behave like this.
I am stamping it here so that I can come back one day to this particular blog and just feel it.
