Make It Happen

It’s not a coincidence that I watched this movie-Make It Happen- in Star Movies channel few days ago. And while watching it, some part of my heart was like shaking (it’s kind of like trembling inside thing), because I’ve always loved the movie or the program about fulfilling one’s dream. And make it happen. I didn’t watch it from the very beginning though, all I saw was just the end scenes. But, I was touched by it. The story is about the dancer who works hard for entering a dance college or dance school, but she didn’t make it. Then, she worked in a club instead and her brother came and asked her to continue the family business. That means she has to forget about her dream and let it go. She did it but then suddenly the brother gave the consent to do the audition. And she did it! She got the spot that’s available in the dance school! Yeay!

Besides this kind of movie, I also like watching ‘American Idol’, especially the part of giving hope. I mean that usually the program is featuring a few persons with incredible backgrounds. Maybe they were abandoned as a child, having the cancer or other strange disease but yet are able to get back on their feet. The power of the dream influenced them so strongly. I admire them. I admire those who made their dream come true and really go for it.

Talking about my dreams…

Hmmm, few years ago, in the interview if they asked me what do I want to be in 5 years time? Since I was working as a foreign institutional dealer in a securities company, all I could see was just becoming a sales or sales trader in another five years time. More than that, I don’t know. Really, I have no idea about it.

Then, after going through all the changes that God allowed me to go through, all I could ask was just becoming a good mother, a good wife, a good daughter, a good friend for my closest ones, a good disciple of God, etc. But one thing that’s on top of my list that I want to share with you all is that: I want to become a writer. I tried and am still trying to make it happen until now.

I started to do blogging since 2006 until today. And along the way, I had the chance to read Bo Sanchez’s inspirational writings. He always encourages us to be very specific about our dreams. To write them down and to read them everyday. And work on them , make them happen, and pray for each one of them everyday.

That makes me feel more focused. Even though I don’t have any book published yet on my solo writing, but I’ve made some progress though. And I’m thankful for that.

When you ask yourself and see in the depth of your heart, you’ll find that you’ve got some dreams that you really want so badly. Each time you think of it, each time you think of them, you know that your passion is there. You know that you’re willing to give your heart and soul 100% for it. You even know that you can cry for it (because you want it so much and that’s where your heart is). And of course, we must work hard to achieve it. Because if we keep on dreaming without doing anything about it, it’s not a wise thing to do. Work hard and pray hard. After doing our best, then let God do the rest.

So, what’s your dream? What’s your deepest dream that you’ve already buried so deeply inside your heart and try to let it go? Well, this is the time to dig it and make it happen! And last but not least, “ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
