Recently I watched for the millionth time the movie Forrest Gump. Isn’t it such an awesome message movie!! Mentally it was assumed that Forrest was a little behind the “normal” person but actually we learned a lot from Forrest didn’t we? Every challenge that was brought his way he dealt with it head on, no complaining and never taking the easy way out. Everything he did he did with pure intentions, not for selfish reasons or a hidden agenda. He wasn’t fazed by other people’s bad attitudes, he didn’t allow other’s to affect his mood or keep him from doing what he felt was right.

We have allowed ourselves to operate the opposite of a Forrest Gump. We let life’s downs keep us down, we end up making the situation worse with our attitude and we just keep piling the negatives on top of each other.  We allow words such as cant, could of, should of, would of, and never to become apart of our daily self talk. We give up and give in and as a result become very bitter and angry and wonder why? Forrest Gump’s innocence could be looked at as naïve, but it’s the fact that throughout the movie he keeps that innocence and purity even thru some of life’s most difficult  moments. He just keeps pushing threw doing what needs to be done and not dwelling on what could have been, what should have been or that he can’t.  The next time you are feeling down or down about your current situation, pop in the movie Forrest Gump and let it speak to you, that my friend will help this to be A Wonderful Life!!
