In my quest for personal growth I’ve come across extremely useful information from a number of sources, books mainly. This information corresponded with parts of me that were already aware of the information but had yet to put it into the right perspective. Though I’m quite sure there are a number of ‘self-help’ books that are not as helpful as they claim to be I have found some books which were eye-openers in the areas I needed. This article is a result of information from such a book, “You Can Choose to be Happy” in this case. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone, especially if you find the following information to be as useful as I did when I first read it.
We all have our moments in life where we feel like not all is going as we had hoped it would. Our general emotions may be leaning towards depression. We may feel alone, drained, unappreciated or unsupported. The people around us try to understand and help us but what do they know? They don’t know us as good as we know ourselves. They most likely don’t know how we truly feel.
Have you ever had this happen to you? Have you ever felt like everything was working against you? It’s highly likely that you have. Because sometimes the world doesn’t seem entirely fair. And at times it’s easy to forget the value of everything around you. Everything may feel out of your control and it may seem like your life is living you instead of you living your life.
It’s at times like this that maybe you wish you could be a movie star. The center of attention, the character in the movie that all of the other characters revolve around. Respected and recognized. But that dream may feel like it’s far away, or impossible. You could never fulfill such an important role. Or could you? It’s easy to look at all the depressing things going on and to forget about the things you already have, the things you are. You are the star of your own life!
Think of your life as a movie with yourself as the central character. You are the main character and star. Everything that happens to you is of importance to the plot. The ups and downs in your life define the character of the movie, the central character. And they are all important to the viewer. The viewer wants to watch the main character grow, and keep going no matter how bad the odds. Your growth and development over the course of the movie are the main themes. They define the movie and your life. How are you doing so far?
If you ever do feel down it helps to think of your life as a movie. Every action you take is of importance to the plot, to the main character. Through personal growth a character is born that can face even the toughest challenge. And it will be a movie many would love to see.
