Have you ever started a project before with well-thought-out plans and, half way into the project, encountered unforeseen circumstances that got your vision crumbling? You have envisioned how your future will look seeing that project flourishing; you have dreamt bigger and better; you have had high hopes knowing that you are working towards achieving financial freedom but met unfortunate situations beyond your control. Well, this is my current true-life experience at the moment.
I didn't know there would be a day I would talk about this until I saw this contest topic. I would have loved to share my win after working out things, but here we are. Human beings have needs and wants. The more we achieve dream one, we keep heading to dream two, dream three, and so on. No wonder the saying that human needs are insatiable. I have lived in Lagos State, Nigeria, for 8 years, and one of the greatest achievements I have achieved so far with my husband is securing a land property and building our own house in it. This was our first dream in order to escape the high cost of rent in the state, and I am grateful to have achieved that for over two and half years now.
We moved into dream two which is establishing a lucrative business aside salary job, that will help us pay bills at ease and give the kids a good life as well. We have had a business idea in the past years which is building a functional table water factory 🏭. While we were securing the land for our residential building, we put this business plan into consideration and thus our choice of location and land size. We commenced the factory project two years ago. We made plans for funds plus other areas we hoped to get more money. The factory building project kept going smoothly until we were done with the finishing touches. The building was set and some materials for water treatment gotten. All of a sudden, things started changing from good to bad. Bad news from left and right. This factory was specifically made for me to take charge instead of looking for jobs elsewhere. This will give me the chance to look after the kids but my dreams keep crumbling since building was set. I may not be too open here but the summary is that my husband later lost his job and we couldn't continue. Each time I open the factory, walk around the places, I shed tears. The money required to put things in place is still huge and nowhere to be found for now. Equipping my factory and seeing it functional is the most expensive thing I really need at the moment.
This will not only put smiles on my face but create job opportunities for workers in the factory. I understand that things don't usually go as planned sometimes, but I am not giving up on the dream; it's something I can still achieve in the future, hence the plans below on how-to accomplish it.,
- Savings: Of course I know that the money involved for this project is a big one, but little drops of water make an oven. I have started saving gradually for this half-way project to turn into reality. Whatever I save at the end of the day, I will add it to my option two here.
- partnership: a relative has already shown interest to partnership with us in the business, and I am seeking professional advice on how best to go about it.
I need it but can't afford it, but I see this dream actualising soon..
In conclusion, there are some things we may need but obviously can't afford at the time we want them; however, I believe that with adequate plans and determination, our dreams will turn into reality.

#fox was here..
Awwwwww 🥰🥰🥰🥰
My foxy ...I love your well thought out comment.. thanks for your kind words
Much appreciated 👍
You are welcome, you just have to keep on believing and all will be well soon 🔜
Living in Lagos is not easy mostly when one doesn't have a house of his own. Having achieved that dream is something anyone would be so proud of and I know you are. Just like you said, giving up on any dream is not the way forward when we encounter difficulties. I'm so sorry for the way things turned out but keep pursuing that dream and it will soon be a story to tell with huge beaming smiles.
My dear, I am grateful for the ones achieved so far and I would keep pursuing this particular dream hopefully it will be a reality one day
Thanks for stopping by
It will surely be as far as you don't relent on what you want to see out of it. Do have a wonderful night rest.
Thanks for your kind words Marynn
Hmmmm this is huge sis I pray God bring help to you and your husband so that you guys can complete the project
I also had similar case I had it all planned not until I couldn't make the shop to what I have dreamed off but God no go shame us anyways
My dear..it can be demoralising not reaching a height planned earlier but we won't give up. I encourage you to keep striving
We must not give up
We move
In order to achieve great results, you should be constantly thinking about how you can motivate and inspire yourself. Few months ago a friend recommended a great book that has been a source of motivation and inspiration to me and am glad to share some of the quote i got from the book with you, i know they would motivate and encourage you my dear friend.
“You become what you think about most.. But you also attract what you think about most".
“When you want to attract something into your life, make sure your actions don’t contradict your desires.. Think about what you have asked for, and make sure that your actions are mirroring what you expect to receive, and that they’re not contradicting what you‘ve asked for. Act as if you are receiving it. Do exactly what you would do if you were receiving it today, and take actions in your life to reflect that powerful expectation. Make room to receive your desires, and as you do, you are sending out that powerful signal of expectation.”
― Rhonda Byrne, The Secret
You could read the book for more motivation. Thank you dear
Awwwwww 🥰.
This is lovely flora
Thanks for taking your time to drop this motivating messages. The book is worth reading
Thanks for coming through 👍
Thanks dear
You have the same dream as me. And one of the most annoying part is that when you stay in someone's house as a tenant he treats you as an animal. I'm fed up staying in someone's house.
Hmmmm
It's well oo
Thanks for stopping by
If you can imagine it, you’ll surely have it someday. Thanks for sharing
Aww 🥰
What a word
Thanks so much
A water factory is a very lucrative business in the world today and I felt down reading how much this would have meant to you if things had worked out as planned.
You are a strong woman and I believe that very soon, the place will be operational. Everything we go through in life has a purpose, there might be delays but not denial, things will definitely fall in place for yoy and your husband.
Awwwwww 🥰
I can't thank you enough for your supportive comment. Thank you so much George ❤️
I hope your factory will be equipped and start to run very soon. Be positive and keep the faith.
Best of luck to you for it.

That dream 2 of yours is amazing and a great one. It would definitely yield a lot of money for you when the business starts boosting. I am happy you have your own home now. This is also my dream in the future with my husband. Don't worry, God is in control and will help you finish it. Keep trusting in God, Momma 😘
My princess is here 🫂
Thanks so much for your nice words
i.love them a lot
Thanks for coming through ❤️
Sometimes life can be so tough and other times it can be really cool, one thing I want you to know is that no condition is permanent. That is why we have day and night. It's same with life, the only difference it has with what happens to man is that day and night comes and goes naturally but for man we work ourselves with the help of God out of difficult times.
Things are going to be fine, you are going to come back big, I am just so happy because I know you are a tough woman too. Don't let the unfinished project break you down, instead let it spur you to work more. One day that water Factory will be functional and it will provide job not just for you but for others as well. Keep working mom, keep gathering those little drops of water, it will soon full the bucket. God will see you through.
Awwwwww 🫂🫂
Thanks so much for this deep word. They made my night already. I am really grateful for your kind words and I say a big Amen to your prayers
Smiles.. thank you too mom.. a bigger amen.. when I finally visit you I would come and see you already using that factory..

Ouch. The frustration of seeing a plan sit idle because of lack of funds. Awful.
I know the feeling all too well (I have big plans but things keep getting roadblocks put in front of them).
All I can say is Good Luck!
My dear, the frustration is real but
My dear..the frustration is real but I won't give up. I will keep working towards achieving my dream
I sorry about the delay. I understand what it takes to start a project and not see it to the end.
I pray God grants you your heart desire and establish you. ♥️

Lol I have decided to also consume more long form content. I spend a lot of time on leothreads because I hardly find decent articles to read but this was nice. 🙃
Oh...I see
I read long content daily more than threads... you are the OG in Leo threads 😂
Thanks so much for your compliment ❤️
Hmmm I love the idea of the factory ma, I had one too but it's not yet time to establish

Kudos in achieving you desires ma, it would surely be achieved

With the right attitude, dedication, hardwork and praying, nothing can be insurmountable.
With time, you will achieve your dreams.
Great idea👍
