I love that Disney makes movies with a message- if more people turned off the news and put in a Disney movie and took notes the world would be a better place- period.
****News flash- the "news" is no longer about informing people- it's a business enterprise and happy stories don't sell. So if you are working on becoming a positive difference maker in life turn it off, get off your couch, and do something for someone else- it's that easy! Seriously...try it!
Back to the movie...I particularly loved this message because it was about not giving up on your dreams- despite the circumstances beyond your control. In life we cannot control what happens to us; where or how we were born and raised, the winds of life, the winds of change, how long we are here- the only thing we have 100% control of is what we do with our time here. That's all you- baby! No excuses, no exceptions- just 100% results from choices you make everyday. The awesome part is that you have complete control, so if there's something in your life right now that you don't like- make a different choice. BOOM- you've just changed the future, no Delorian required. (yes, just aged myself)
The deeper part of that decision is to pop the top- there is no glass ceiling on what YOU are capable of doing in this life- NONE. It doesn't matter what everyone else in your family achieved or didn't, what everyone else in your town achieved or didn't or what anyone else on this planet was able to achieve or not- with or without your exact same, better, or worse circumstances- NONE OF THAT MATTERS! You were created for an exact purpose that only YOU were designed to achieve- it's not supposed to make sense to anyone else- they all have their own, so don't listen to them when they tell you you're crazy! Crazy is spending your whole life trying to be like everyone else- so stand up, stand out, and do that thing you've been wanting to try your whole life. Write that book, take that trip, start that business, make that call, mend that relationship- what ever it is; create the playlist, put your game face on, plug in those headphones and get to work.
Stop living in the past, stop beating yourself up over choices already made and paths already taken and start focusing on the road ahead and where you WANT TO BE instead of where you've been. The past has made you who you are today, but the choices you make today will determine who you are tomorrow...I have no idea if I just made that up or read it somewhere (most likely) but it's pretty epic, so you may want to jot that one down.
In-your-face Tuesday...yes people, that just happened, but it came from LOVE for all of you!
So what IS your BIG dream?
The second half starts now..what choice will you make today to get started?
