Last year I decided to write in my agenda everything I wanted to do, all the places I wanted to visit, because, you see someone told me that if you write it and absolutely believe nothing can stop you from reaching those goals you set, then those things you wrote, will come true.
Well, I can certainly tell you now, almost a year later, that they do come true. First, came the travelling part of my wishes and then, the things I wanted to do. Not everything has become reality yet, because I haven't stopped writting, but I have checked many things and places already.
I was in Japan a year and a half ago - a country I absolutely love, a country that fascinates me, a place I don't think I will ever get tired of. I only stayed for 10 days and I didn't get to see everything I wanted to see in that trip so in July last year, I wrote in my agenda - Japan 2012 - here we come! because we were supposed to be at least two people going. I tried applying to some programmes for foreigners at Universities in Japan, but they didn't turn out well and I was almost at the point where I was thinking - yeah, ok! so I'm not meant to go back again. But I kept asking myself - why? if I want so much to go, why can't I go?
But I had forgotten something: there is a time and a place for everything. And that time has come for me to go to Japan - in two days, my plane will take off for Tokyo. I'm going to Japan for two weeks of sheer bliss!!! Found a great offer at a tourism agency a month ago, borrowed some money to pay for the whole trip - as it was totally unexpected, I didn't have enough money in my account - signed the contract and today I packed my bags!
After signing and being sure I am leaving for Japan I also asked for the means to get the money to pay back my debt - they slowly came. I haven't gathered all the money, but amazingly enough, I made more in three weeks than I used to make at my old job in a month and I am sure that after I return, the rest of the money will also come. Of course, this doesn't mean they just appeared out of thin air, I had to work for it - but the chances to work for the money I owe came after I asked for them.
So, make a wish and strongly believe it will come true. Because sometimes, they do. It's important the energy with which you make the wish, how you make it. I believe we are the creators of our own reality and I am happy. I feel like crying every time I think that I am really going to Japan! My wish came true!
Why don't you make yours too? Today! Now! Never stop reaching for the stars!
