Well, its been half-term for us in Nottinghamshire and that has meant the opportunity to spend some time with my Grandson Marcus 🙂
We decided that we would go to the cinema, as Marcus wanted to see The Book of Life. It was a great film, as many of these children’s films are……..but what really impressed me was the message.
The whole basis of the film was to “Write your own life’. How important is that message, especially to a 6 year old? All too often they are fed the same old stuff, conform, work hard, get good grades, go to university etc etc.
What a refreshing change, to have a message in a film that simply says, hang on you don’t have to do what everyone else wants you to do, you can and must make your own choices and they should be based on your wants, desires and passions, then you will find true happiness!
If we can change the mindset of younger people, to be more aware that happiness is so important, and how we go about achieving true happiness – think of the changes that will happen! Exciting isn’t it!
In one of my earlier newsletters, I talked about noticing the change in people, the shift in awareness, the desire if not need for being more mindful, the knowledge we are all craving about how we can actually put this into practice, the necessity for us to be more happy and lead less stressful and more fulfilling lives!
Can you feel the change?
I watched this You Tube clip this week, what an inspiring young man, hope it inspire you too!
