Purpose

God I love a good movie.
I just saw Lady in the Water again, and it is an incredibly beautiful story.

Imagine that you-yes you-have a purpose. Imagine that your seemingly worthless talent or hobby held great importance.

What if it could change your life?
How about the lives of others?

Not everybody figures out their purpose on the first try. Most people in the movie didn't get it on the first time. However, if you keep searching, you will know. It should be obvious if you are where you were meant to be or not.

Just listen to your heart.


There were some great quotes in the movie. Just thought I'd put them on here while I was thinking about the movie.

Cleveland Heep: H-how was the movie?
Harry Farber: Sucked
Cleveland Heep: Oh... what a shame.
Harry Farber: Characters were walking around, saying their thoughts out loud. Who does that? And in a typical romance where the couple finally tell each other they love one another in the rain. Why does everyone like to stand around and talk in the rain in movies?
Cleveland Heep: Um... well maybe it's a metaphor for purification; starting new.
Harry Farber: No, it's not!

"Once, man and those in the water were linked. They inspired us. They spoke of the future. Man listened and it became real. But man does not listen very well."
