LIST: These Gen Zs are here to remind you it’s okay to be a work in progress

It can be quite disheartening when the realization of your dreams is taking longer than expected. You put in the work every day, without the assurance of seeing your desired results in the end.

Being a work-in-progress, however, can also be great as you get to discover new things, welcome growth opportunities, and adapt to changes in your life—even when you don’t see them coming. It reminds you that there’s no such thing as perfection and that you still have room for improvement and breakthroughs.

Need inspiration to keep going when the going gets tough? Let these Gen Zs remind you of the importance of trusting the process by showing it’s possible to enjoy your journey to your best and most authentic self. You are not alone in this, after all, as there are tools like Globe Prepaid’s Go+99 with vouchers that can help you transform your dreams into reality.

@thejeffgeronimo

Working full-time on our creative business is an exciting journey. We experience everything from directing video campaigns and designing brand identities to talking with clients and, at times, having no clients at all. This journey teaches us to be adaptive and versatile. One thing I love about being a creative entrepreneur is the freedom to work anywhere I want. While working from home is a breeze, I've found myself wanting to work in cafes or co-working spaces a lot lately. Working outside has its downsides, particularly when it comes to internet connectivity. Thankfully, with the Go+99 from @enjoyglobe Prepaid, I'm able to stay connected and be available online for my clients and colleagues. In today's world, being online and showing up is essential to sustaining the business. It’s been quite a journey, and I’m ready to take it further! Go Lang Nang Go, yan ang mantra natin. #GoLangNangGo

Direk Gen

@directedbygen I always have a heart for low-budget filmmakers because I am one myself.🎬💡 Pag limited ang resources mo matututo kang i-maximize yung meron ka. Dahil mixed ang passion at priorities ko, hindi pa ako maka-invest sa mga film equipments. Pero buti nalang may Lazada vouchers ang Globe Prepaid Go+99, at nakaka-bili ako ng mga equipments sa murang halaga. Let's keep creating and pushing boundaries, no matter the budget! Remember, every masterpiece starts as a WIP. Patuloy ka lang maniwala, lumikha at umusad. #GoLangNangGo self, magiging isa ka ring direktor ng pelikula. #film #filmph #filmmaker #filmmaking #filmmakingph #filmmakersoftiktok #foryoupelikula ♬ original sound - ig:@direkgen

From his college graduation, Direk Gen had to put his film director dreams on pause as he became a father of two. Later on, he realized that it’s possible to juggle family time and his passion for film even with limited resources, which taught him to make the most of what he has. He makes use of the Lazada vouchers included in the Go+99 promo, allowing him to buy film equipment for less.
