I finally got to see the family friendly movie last night, and while I basically knew what the plot line was going to be, I genuinely loved it. The idea of radically changing your life to embrace the mere idea of change, ie, "why not" is rarely seen as a good thing.
While I haven't been blogging much, I have been trying to validate my own case for change. The reason for both, is simply that it hasn't been as smooth as I had expected. Not only does routine get in the way, but my own fears, thoughts (positive and negative) and the assumption that I am in it alone, has hindered said change. It's funny, the easiest changes were to see everyone else differently, the hardest changes have been to see myself. It's a strange paradigm to have to stand up to one self, when that same self is also the bully.
It was nice to see something outside of myself embracing change last night, and while it was a feel good movie, it really was inspiring. It pointed out how the big changes were do-able and often not a choice, but the little changes in one's self is hard, frightening, and even painful sometimes. So while these are not new lessons, that are in need of embracing again, and I will continue to try hard everyday and make the most of it. I hope you do to.
