Setting a goal is not always easy, but this video really breaks down the three core elements of a worthwhile goal. Vishen Lakhiani uses a three part exercise to discover the motivation and meaning in what you believe you can do. He also explains that there are different types of goals, means goals and end goals. We often confuse the two.
Goals are usually broken down logically, but Lakhiani explains that the meaning behind a goal is just as important. If you're going after something, chances are that you care about it, and once you find what experiences, lessons and contributions you can make, you can do anything you set your mind to.
I found this video really helpful in creating a worthwhile goal.
I watched Treasure Planet today. It's been a while since I saw that movie, but I did remember that Silver tells Jim to never give up.
He tells him, "You've got the makings of greatness in you, but you've got to take the helm and chart your own course. Stick to it no matter the squalls, and when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails and show what you're made of . . . well, I hope I'm there catching some of the light coming off you that day."
He tells Jim this, after Jim gives up his dream and tells himself that he can't do anything right.
We all reach these moments in our lives, but it's important to stick to our goals no matter what.
I know it's hard. No one said it would be easy. I know it's tough and the path is not a clear road that you can see, but if you chart your own course and stay true to your goal, anything is possible.
Cheesy, I know, but I live off these beliefs. I live off these dreams. And I believe that it is possible.
This is what makes Disney so special to me, and it's always there to help me push on, even after a rough day.
I will get there. I'll never give up. My course may not be straight forward, but it's there. And as long as I call the shots, I'll find a way to make my dream come true.
Disney is the destination, but getting there is the meaning of the journey.
Don't give up on your dream. You never know what light will shine off you, and how much of a difference you can make in this world.
I saw this film as a going away gift from my friends in South Korea.
It was the perfect story to encounter before I start a new chapter.
Tomorrowland is one of my favorite areas of Disneyland. Space Mountain is my favorite ride, and the entire premise of the "great big beautiful tomorrow" is very inspirational.
The main characters are well rounded and easy to relate to. The action was a bit too much at times ( a lot of trippy camera effects) but it was an exciting ride. The Walt Disney World and Star Wars cameos, along with other SciFi flicks were an added bonus to the nostalgic and futuristic atmosphere of Tommorowland itself.
It would be difficult to describe the story of this film without giving spoilers, so instead, I will share my favorite quote (and an old Cherokee saying).
"There are two wolves who are always fighting. One is darkness and despair. The other is light and hope. Which wolf wins? The one you feed."
This quote, this message, is the core of the film Tomorrowland. And it is beautiful. The power of positive thinking can do amazing things. Positivity creates confidence, and confidence creates motivation.
This is the life of an artist, engineer, writer and just about anyone who has dreams.
I would say that this is the most inspirational Disney film that I've seen in a long time. And it's perfect for the new generations, going out into the world, whether from High School or College.
With that said, Tomorrowland goes deep into a dark theme than you would expect in a Disney film, but there is a reason for it, and once the story comes together by the end of the film, it all makes sense.
The film Tomorrowland asks a question of its audience, and it is up to us to provide the answer. There are so many ways to contribute and create an amazing future, as long as we believe that it is possible.
This going to sound cheesy but: if you have given up on anything, watch this movie. If you've encountered failure recently, watch this movie. It is a creative and bold kick in the pants. I ate it up like a chocolate eclaire.
This song. Everything about it speaks to me right now. I've kind of put my wants and needs on the back burner. Now it's time to step it up. I'm going to go after that dream. I'm going to work toward it, even when I'm tired and depressed. I will not give up on my dream, and I won't let fear control my life. I'm going to live my life. Starting now!
