Diana T: “I had forgotten that it is still possible to dream.”
Diana T has always been a dreamer. “I always went after my dreams,” she says when we first discuss what she wants to get our of the Dream Builder Coaching Program, “but with time, I forgot I could still dream. I said YES to the program because I felt I needed that reminder in my life”.
From her mindset as she approached each week to what she learnt, Diana shares her experience of being a Dream Builder below.
Week 1: I was apprehensive because I realised I had not sat down and thought of what would I love my life to be. I just accepted my circumstances. At first, I procrastinated, then I took the plunge. I realised that the course is not something to take lightly. You have to go deep and be honest with yourself. You can’t brush issues under the carpet. This ignited something in me.
Week2: This week’s lesson reminded me that I have a lot of dreams that I wish to fulfil. I had forgotten that it is still possible to dream.
Week 3: A very interesting lesson because I had to decide if what I say I would really love is worthy of my effort and time. Would it make me happy? Digging deep is what I love about this programme, it is thought provoking. It’s showing me that the source within is the true power. Don’t looking outwards for things to change, change starts from within
Week 4: I’ve learned that fear is just an emotion and an obstacle. By acknowledging it, I remind myself that I am much more than my emotions. I’ve realised that fear will eventually fizzle away, creating space for my dreams to move forward.
Week 5: Recognising abundance has been a pivotal lesson for me. I realised that while I have the capacity to give, I need to work on my capacity to receive. By staying positive and focused, I've found that my thoughts and goals become much clearer.
Week 6: Learning to forgive myself has been transformative. I understand now that forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or excusing the harm done to me, nor does it mean I have to interact with the person who caused it. Although I’m still struggling with this, I know that with time, it will become easier and will release the negative seed festering within me.
Week 7: I chose to practice "Loving Kindness Meditation." I’ve found it powerful to evoke love and kindness aloud to myself and my loved ones with strength. However, I noticed I do so with less strength towards my enemies, which is something I need to work on.
