The Difference Between Life and the Movies

Motivational Power Quote

The Difference Between Life and the Movies

“The difference between life and the movies

is that a script has to make sense,

and life doesn’t.”

Joseph L. Mankiewicz, director, screenwriter

As I see it. . . . . . . .


The difference between life and the movies


In the movies we can see the coming attraction and know the story line before we see the movie, in life the story line continually changes.


The movie has a natural progression. Many times our lives seem to have no rhyme or reason. What we have to do is continually adjust to our changing environment and remain focused on our journey and the desired outcome.


We can choose the movies that we want to see, but the script is written and won’t change. In life we can’t control all the things that happen to us. But we can choose how we respond to what happens to us.


In the movies we can buy popcorn that’s handed to us but it’s expensive. At home we can pop our own popcorn. Popping the popcorn takes effort, but having the popcorn is worth the effort.


In real life to enjoy a happy ending we have to have to create our own script, stay on course and work hard to achieve a happy ending.

Where There’s a Will There Will Be a Way

“Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it begin it now”

Goethe

As I see it . . . . . . .


Where there’s a will there will be a way


When you have the will to create a result or to achieve a goal there will be a way. That way will not be handed to you. If you want it bad enough you’ll find the way. You’ll have to make a way or find the way but the way is there for you.


You will see the way when you have the desire to create the result and you will make the way when you put the effort into achieving the result.


You have to be willing to begin and step into your success journey with the confidence that you will succeed and consistently engage in the activities that will move you in the direction of your desired results.


Where there’s a will there will be a way when you believe there is a way you’ll find it and you take the actions to active the results you want you will.
