Episode 02: Start with the ending of your story (part 2)

If we analyze every story, we ever read or heard, we will find out there is this convention: (1) the beginning hook, (2) the inciting incident, (3) the promise of a big event, and the (4) ending payoff (The Story Grid, Shawn Coyne).

For every beginning, we find out the lead character/s are in a bind, seems like giving up, at a loss, or in a state of mess (this sounds familiar, is it not?). Then there is an inciting incident that will happen - a big loss or a huge win - and allows the lead character/s to gain composure or pick-up the pieces or perhaps change his outlook and direction in life. Then he or she readies himself/herself to a big event, like a performance of a lifetime or a race or a competition where the lead either wins or loses as the ending payoff.

In reality, those successful stories have something in common: that to go from here (the situation they are in) depends greatly on where they want to get to (the ending of their story). So, ask yourself again: "What is the ending of your story?" What is your long-term goal NOW?

No matter what bad situation you are in, how sorry you are for not doing this or that, or how heavy is your burden now because of a failed mission, remember this piece of information: all this is part of your story. All that are happening right now are just inciting incidents to YOUR story. Those are not the ending payoff. In due time, and when YOU are deserving, the ending of YOUR story will be revealed. This ending will become YOUR legacy. This is the only reason you should ever believe in. Forget the many excuses and reasons why this will not work.

If you ask me, I want to get to a life of old age where I have a budget of at least PHP 1,000 a day. It's that simple. No worries, no headaches. Because I see myself living comfortably with a 1,000 peso budget every day. Think about this. The minimum wage per day in Metro Manila is about PHP 500 a day. The government's budget for meals per person is about PHP 150 per meal per person.

But in my case, I sometimes do brunch (breakfast and lunch combined) twice or thrice a week. I spend PHP 130 for to***co for 2 days. I load my phone PHP 300 for a month's call and text. A PHP 1,000 a day kind of life at the minimum is my long-term goal, the outcome I want to get to. At this point in time, this is the ending of my story. But certainly, this is not the whole story for me. How about you? What is the ending of your story?

To get from here (the situation you are in) to there (the ending of your story), I will share information how long or how soon, in Episode 03 "Your Timeline."
