“Always nurture your inner childhood dreams, life will become beautiful.” ~ Invajy
For this blog, I’m going to share a technique on how I keep on with my visions in life. On how I feel lighter and charged for the upcoming heavy days. In this method, I am helping myself to do good and be optimistic during faint times.
As a child, have you ever thought of a dream? A dream that you think you can have without knowing the circumstances, because we are still young? Are you that child who decided to conquer the world with what you had? I was that kind of kid. I had vision and, of course, a dream.
As I grew older, my dreams and hopes did not disappear. The big dreams I had, I kept in my heart and soul. I decided to seal my mind with my goals. Please take note that growing up doesn’t mean that you have to adjust your goals. You can’t just back down from your goal since the reality is awakening your mature self. Don’t compromise on what you think is simple. Be extraordinary and seek adventure through your goals in life.
I have this significant jar that I made during the New Year. It holds my DAG papers. DAG stands for dreams, aims, and goals. I write my wishes and vision on simple paper and make it into a crane origami.
Fun fact: It is believed in Japan that if you make 1000 crane origami, your wish will come true.
This is a way of keeping pace with my goals. This method makes me motivated. Plus, making origami is fun and creative. Everyone in different generations can apply this creative work. A family can create their goals together and bind their hopes in a jar. A group of friends can write their wishes and maybe places and plans they want to accomplish together. This method builds rapport for everyone.

For the jar, I used an old jar of mine that was used in the kitchen. I put some simple design on it, and it’s wholesome. The jar can be anything; just choose the ones that are special to you, or you can even make it particular to your liking. After decorating your chosen jar, you can now put your origami inside, and don’t forget to close it tightly to prevent liquid from going inside. We don’t want our DAG papers to vanish.
Have you guys decided to make it? I recommend this activity be done by kids. Children are surely fragile, and they need the most care. That goes with their dreams and hopes. Children’s vision is peculiar in a good way, and I hope that the world doesn’t bring them down and that they strive for their dreams. So if you have a kid at home, let them try this activity. I assure you, it’s fun and fulfilling.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my blog. I sincerely anticipate for your D.A.G. to become your reality. That's all for now, I hope you learned something.💛
