Because ABS-CBN Scriptwriting Workshop didn’t call back…


I always hear people say, “There’s nothing impossible.”, and maybe it’s one of the most optimistic ways to go on and do what you think is unattainable.

We all have dreams. It may look so hard to reach but FAITH keeps us going. By believing that God is on our side and that He has a plan on how will you achieve your greatest dream, is enough to keep that HOPE on fire. And the story of other people who have achieved their dreams because they never stop pursuing it, gives us the INSPIRATION to do the same.

Faith. Hope. Inspiration.

These maybe are the important ingredients we should and must have in order to taste the sweet savor of our dream – That something we really want the most in life; the so-called passion your heart beats for.

But still we must admit that inspite of having these ingredients, there are times we get CONFUSE that most of the time led you to QUIT. There’s a voice inside that tells you “It’s impossible to happen. Come on! Wake up and face the reality that it can never happen! Go for something else. Something you can easily achieve.”

And then you asked God. CONFUSION totally caught the attention of your heart and mind. Maybe you have told God, “Is this really the road that I should take? If so, why is it this hard? Why do I keep on failing? Lord God, what is Your plan? Help me understand the situation I am in. Guide me.”

And despite the voice that pulls you down, there’s still a little HOPE, a little FAITH, and INSPIRATION.

Honestly, I’ve been there and still am running the cycle of Faith-Hope-Inspiration-Confusion-Quitting-Faith-Hope-Inspiration-Confusion-Quitting-Faith and so on…

I may not be as famous as Socrates or Aristotle or any known philosopher whose words were quoted for a million times. Maybe I am no one for I haven’t achieved anything yet. But these I tell you:

Go after your dream, your passion, that something you really want to do. Don’t think of that baggage you have in life, instead give it God. And in times of CONFUSION remember this – God will never give that passion without a purpose. Have FAITH and trust Him. He was the one who molded your heart. There’s a very reason why you have that passion. Besides, life is short to ignore what your heart beats for (nabuhay ka pa kung di mo rin naman susundin ang puso mo!). And if others can, of course you can (Duh, pare-pareho lang tayong tao!). And that might serve as your MOTIVATION. Because you may have all the FAITH, INSPIRATION and HOPE in life but without MOTIVATION how do you think you will move on?

And as for me, no matter how exhausted I get in this cycle, as long as I have this passion… not until I reach my dream, I am not going to stop. I will take some time to rest but I’m not going to stop. I can adjust my action steps but not my dream.

With the Mighty help of God, I am going to be a writer, a creative writer, to be specific. And may God keep my strength.
