Fulfilling Pursuit

I suddenly recall this movie, The Pursuit of Happyness. Yep, there is nothing wrong with my spelling. It is not happiness but happyness. A real story based on the life of *Chris Gardner.




The will is strong (guess that's why Will Smith is the best candidate to play the character) and nothing ever came in the way can slow him down to reaching success. What really matter is these series of events are actually the stepping stone to make a potentially-successful-person to realize the self worth before really becoming a star.

So life places a lot of hurdles. Is it trying to make us fall; or rather telling us to always keep our head above the level and look ahead, so that we are always prepared to jump higher and farther?

When we touch the ground, is it DEFEATED or PICK YOURSELF UP that really become the only thinking?

I found this:
Infuse life with a sense of purpose which in turn would help to feel the things we are doing contribute to the world in some positive way. Assess which of the activities we are engaged in are actually things that add to value to our life and those of the people around us. Try to take a few minutes to reflect on how the things we do make us feel. We may notice, for example that even though we feel animated by some of your activities, they might not make us feel completely fulfilled. Contemplating this and perhaps even changing what we do could bring an added sense of worth to the way we spend your time.

Becoming aware of what we do with our time allows us to use it much more wisely. Sometimes it might seem like being busy is the best way to feel connected with the world, and because of this we might fill up our days with random activities that ultimately do not have much meaning for us. When we are more conscious of our pursuits, though, we begin to realize that it is much more important to do a few things conscientiously than many things haphazardly. Engaging in things that give our life meaning will truly energize and excite us.


Meet Chris Gardner...
