they say that we've lived our whole life to prepare for this moment. each moment. each brand new day. but often times, kind of like new year's resolutions, we end up taking it for granted and wasting it away by getting consumed in the pettiness that lurks around every corner.
we all know better and sometimes it just takes something or someone to whack you over the head and get you back on path... well over new year's, i got whacked over the head. so much so that i want to share it with you too.
my parents, husband, and i sat down one night to watch a movie and came across this documentary, I AM. we watched the preview and decided to watch the whole thing. from minute one until the closing credits, i was sucked in (and this is HUGE, because anyone who knows me knows that i tend to fall asleep in pretty much any movie i watch at home).
I AM is inspiring, it's smart, it's enlightening, and downright amazing. yet, it's so simple.
everything in this world is made of the same stuff and we're all connected. we have more power to help and to change than we think we do. so be kind. be a community. cooperate. love. it's all we need to make a difference.
so, as you sit down to write your new year's resolutions. i encourage you to watch this movie and embrace it's message. I AM ready, are you?
Fantastic movie! What got me most was how humans are the only species that takes more than it needs. Very eye opening. Thanks for sharing.
