Making your Dreams a Reality

By Julie Takamatsu

“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” --- Mark Twain

Reflecting back on my life, I do consider myself to be extremely lucky. Fortunate enough to be able to wake up to paradise every morning, the opportunity to travel the world, a great education and a supportive husband, but there are times that I am a bit lost. Life is not a yellow pave road as in fairy tales and there are definitely struggles that I endure on a daily basis. Road blocks, a never ending battle and the constant frustration over things can drive one up the wall. Not to mention peer pressure, family obligations and the downfall of the economy. Trying to figure my next steps can be overwhelming.

For the many times that I was screaming for help, my prayers were answer with the introduction of Lisa. Who is she? Lisa Michele Fonseca is a life coach. Not a therapists or a psychologist who prescribes drugs, but a coach who directs, instructs and trains people like me to achieve my own personal goals in life. Her sessions are typically 1 hour that can be either arranged one-on-one in person or over the telephone.

I first met Lisa at a coffee shop located minutes away from my condo. She walked up with a beautiful smile and we instantly hit it off. Having an excessive background in Human Resources Management, Lisa's inspiration is drawn directly from her life experiences and the passion to help other people succeed. There were definitely intense period of tears and moments of laughter, but what I found was truly a friend who really cares.

With each and every person she meets, her assessment will be catered to your needs and the directions that you are seeking. For me, I was told to look in magazines and put together a collage. During the process, I found things that I didn't even know about myself and remembered long lost dreams that I once had. All in all, I walked away from the sessions a much happier person as I followed my heart, found my true calling and learned not be too hard on myself.

We all live in a every changing environment and a different era that requires us to keep up with the fast pace and do things that we no longer enjoyed just to survive. Our dreams are put on the back burner. Don't worry. Things can all changes and it starts with you. Whether you are deciding to change careers, go back to school, get married or any other personal achievements, make it about you and seek support for it. Lisa definitely can help you with it.

Thank you. ;)

The land of regret is a place for people who do not look back and see where they failed - they look around themselves now and see where they are failing - and do nothing about it.

I do get so tired when I read about people saying that "If only I had done something different . . . ." - they didn't and they can't go back!

The most regrettable aspects of the lives of most people is when they act upon the advice (well meaning or otherwise) of others. They abdicate their own responsibilities to themselves but still try to apportion blame elsewhere.

It is about time that some old fashioned self confidence was instilled into our young people so that they don't start needing therapy as soon as they realise that the world isn't always 'nice'.

Interesting view point.
Confidence is very important, but sometimes we are at a point where we need a bit of guidance to point us in the right direction.

Thank you for sharing this reality, Julie. Most people need help at sometime in their lives.
Keep up the good work.
Best wishes.
Frederick

Yes. Thanks for encouragement.
Glad to have wonderful friends like you.

Boy, I don't think that I could say it any better than Arthur and Frederick just did. We must hold on to our dreams.
