Life lessons in a movie

Recently, I went to see a movie called Bridesmaids. It was hilarious, and well worth my time, so much matter of fact that when it comes out I'm pretty sure I am purchasing this. Through all of the humor, friendships, adventures, and love that took place during this movie, a particular line really grabbed my attention. A line that stuck home with me, and I'm sure with a lot of others it can too. The line went a little something like this, "We are our own problem, and we can be our own solution too." I don't know about you, but that simple line screams a shit ton of truth. Don't worry I'm not going to ruin anything of this movie for those of you who are going to watch it, but this line happens when the main character feels she completely lost out on everything; her best friend, life, and love. Then another character in the movie comes by to slap some sense in her, and drops this line.

Too many times do people sit and wallow in their own failures, and own let downs in life, thinking about everything that went wrong, how its never going to be okay, and about all the other factors that caused this. The blame is ultimately on us, but its a lot easier to push our problems, our temporary failures and set backs on everything else but the one person they stem from....our self. Its true, we are our own problem and we sure as hell can be our own solution. We need to step up and tackle these problems head on, and become the solution that we need to see, the solution that we are capable of doing, and the solution that will make life better for us and those around us.

Its time to make that change, and turn everything else around. Just like the movie, maybe we need someone to push us around so we have to start fighting back for our life, instead of sitting there watching everything fall around us. Lets start to be our own solution! TODAY, lets start the fight for our life back. After all we deserve it, and we can only be as strong as the weakest link, and right now the weakest link seems to be our self.

Peace
