Things I Learned From A Movie

Yesterday I watched the movie Peaceful Warrior. The acting was average, and the script was pretty cliche at times, but the overall message was really fantastic. Here are some examples of things that I learned from this movie. My goal now, is to apply them like an insecure girl applies makeup… generously and without shame, for they lead to happiness.

“There’s no greater purpose than service to others.”

Life has just three rules: Paradox, humor and change.
Paradox – Life is a mystery. Don’t waste time trying to figure it out.
Humor – Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. IT is a strength beyond all measure.
Change – Know that nothing stays the same.

“Death isn’t sad. The sad thing is: most people don’t live at all.”

“Those who are the hardest to love, need it the most.”

“The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.”

These truths are simple and easy to remember. But putting them into practice is the trick, and I daresay it could change your life and make you… happy. And what is better than that?

Watch it. Thank me later.

    I met a kid (19-20 yr old) on a plane who’s mom had just died. We bonded and he recommended this book to me. I’ve been meaning to check it out.
