Turning your Book of Possibilities into a Book of REALITIES
No matter you walk in life, I think everybody will love this movie - to sum it up, Queen Latifah begins the movie living the same mundane life the majority of people around me live - wake up, go to work, go to sleep. She keeps a book of possibilities with her about the life she WANTS but never does anything to turn these into a reality for her. She loves cooking, is in love with L.L. Cool J. (who plays a salesman) and hates the “cubicle” that her boss keeps trying to keep her in. But she sticks her head down and keeps going day by day, week by week, month by month till the years come packing on. Then… a life altering even occurs - she has 3 weeks left to live!
The transformation
In the matter of a week, Queen Latifah goes from mundane towards living the life of her dreams, blows all her money and finally LIVES LIFE. At the end of the movie - predictably - she finds out her disease was mis-diagnosed and uses that as a stepping stone towards making the rest of her book of possibilities into one of realities.
Why I loved “Last Holiday”
I absolutely love these kinds of movies as they mirror how I live my life - I push until I am exhausted then push some more… I do daily actions to make the life I want a little closer towards reality - I jump in head first - usually into a brick wall but every once in a while - a breakthrough occurs. THIS IS WHAT LIFE IS ABOUT!
I wasn’t born on this Earth to spend half of my day in a 4ft by 4ft cubicle working hard while my boss reaps the proceeds of my hard work… AND NEITHER WHERE YOU!
Imagine… then turn it into reality!
Imagine you had 3 weeks left to live, what would you do? What would you say? How different would your life be? Well… why wait? Everyday that you are alive is one less day you will have to live - think of your life as a highway, you are born and from that moment on, you are driving 200mph straight into a brick wall, the only problem is your headlights aren’t on so you can’t see it coming. Nobody knows how long they really have to live… so why wait till its too late to make lasting and positive changes in your life?
The Bottom Line
It’s up to you if you decide to watch this movie or not - but what I do want you to think about today and every single day forth - is - what can I do today to make my dreams a reality before I hit my brick wall?
