Am I Living 'The Dream'?

The Virtual Assistant Diary

When I say Live Your Dream, it’s not just about the big wins or flashy success stories.

It’s about the little, quiet victories too! The ones that make life feel full and meaningful.

Before I became a mom, remote work gave me something priceless: time.

Time to chase passion projects.
Time to try things that light me up outside of work.
Time to just be. 

Not always rushing, not always chasing deadlines.

Because I had the flexibility, nagawa kong mag side projects, mag-aaral ng new skills, magpahinga, mag-travel, mag-reflect. 

I had the space to dream beyond survival.

Fast forward to today, now as a stay-at-home mom. My blog and podcast: Live Your Dream took on an even deeper meaning.

Remote work allows me to watch my son grow up with my own eyes and not just through stories or secondhand accounts. 

I get to be there for the milestones, the tantrums, the giggles, the messy, magical everyday moments.

And guess what?
I’m still able to contribute financially at home without sacrificing the things that truly matter.

I didn’t have to choose between being a full-time mom or having a career.
I blended both, in a way that feels right for me.

Hindi ko kailangang magsiksikan sa EDSA araw-araw, mag-ayos ng bonggang-bongga (hindi ko din kasi talaga hilig yun! haha), 

or spend my life caught up in a 9-to-5 grind just to prove I’m “successful.”

Because success for me means having time.
Having energy for the people I love.
Living with intention.

Hindi perfect. May araw na chaotic, may araw na super pagod. Pero kahit ano pa ‘yan, this life is the dream I once prayed for.

And that’s why it’s called Live Your Dream.
Because living your dream isn’t about waiting for the day when everything is perfect. It’s building a life you love now, with what you have, wherever you are.

And if that dream looks a little different from the world’s expectations?
That’s perfectly okay.

Your dream. Your rules. Your life.
