Appreciating life week.

So as many of you have seen on my Instagram page I recently had a giveaway where I asked you all to tell me about your dreams.

I can’t even begin to explain to you how overwhelming and touching it was to read all of your entries these past few days.

It really struck something inside of me and made me think about my life and how much I have today. We tend to forget and take things for granted and I don’t deny that I do that as well, its human nature.

But honestly thanks to all of you, you made me be more appreciative to my life, so thank you for that really.

It was so amazing to read all of your different dreams and stories, so many of them were similar to one another, yet some were so detailed and different.

I wanted to share with you a few of the stories that just show the various dreams that we all have in this world and hopefully it will make you feel the same way that I did and give you a little more faith in this world today.

I think its so beautiful that this girl really cares for her family, I come from quite a small family and so family is very important in my life. I love that she compliments herself and girls really need to do more of that nowadays instead of just bashing themselves with negativity and hate.

It’s awesome that people are really taking interest in learning new languages as well, thats such an exciting thing for me, because I am still learning Arabic as you know.

I can’t wait to see her here in Emirates Airline some day, and congratulate her for making her dreams come true.

I loved this entry because it was the dream of becoming a doctor and well havn’t we all dreamt of being a doctor when we were a kid? I know I did.

Being able to save lives and give people or even animals a second chance in life is just the most rewarding thing that a person could do and I’m so excited for her.

Now this entry was a tad different in that they didn’t really focus on what dream they actually wanted but instead highlighted that we should all just be kind people and be the best person that we can be.

Wanting to help others, working hard and inspiring others well it makes sense that you eventually said you would like to be a cabin crew because that’s a cabin crew in the making!

Thanks for promoting goodness and I can’t wait to shake your hand in the sky!

Wow, this is another one of those big dreams … becoming a pilot and for none other than the prestigious Emirates Airline ( good choice ;). It’s very obvious that you know some information about Emirates and I can see how much you want it.

I truly hope you achieve this dream and get to join us in the best airline in the world.

I know I said that I chose these stories to blog about because they’re different but I just really enjoyed reading this one.

I really appreciate how detailed they were in their entry and it was just one of those that left me with a huge smile on my face.

I’m so proud of this person to explain their dream to the whole world and not only that but to mention how they were turned away from their dream once before due to their weight.

Weight is a daily struggle in our lives whether we admit it or not and I really loved the way they talked about this and the fact that they want to inspire others to fight through obesity.

A marine biologist? Wow, now that is just amazing. I absolutely love animals and so I too have had this dream but it just never happened.

I can’t tell you how excited I am for you and it really is such a fulfilling dream. You get to learn things about the beauty of marine life that most of us have no idea about and get to contribute to the safe keeping of our marine world.

Hats off to you and I wish you all the best!

Last but not least … the pilot dream again but after reading his story I felt like I knew him almost because of his entry. It is such a beautiful tale of him getting his first RC plane off his Dad and then seeing a Boeing 777 for the first time.

I know the feeling and so I could relate to that. Good luck and wish you all the best for your flight career!

So that’s all for this particular blog, I really hope that today my followers and I inspired you to do whatever you need to do to follow your dreams and I hope it made you smile.

For those who entered into my Emirates Giveaway, don’t worry I haven’t forgotten about it, I’m just still putting bits and pieces together for the prizes as well as my personal letter to the winners.

The winners have not been fully decided yet and are not necessarily the people that I mentioned in this blog, just in case you were wondering.

I’m off to Lisbon, Portugal tomorrow which is a new destination for me so I am buzzing from excitement.

If any of you have tips for me about the city then please feel free to comment or message me. And as always if YOU have any questions you would like me to help you with then please give me a shout.

Be safe wherever you are in the world, be happy and god bless you all.

Love Jessica Cairney.
