Never Give Up

My husband Josh and I were watching Back to the Future, today. It has been at least ten years since I have actually seen that movie. I was intrigued by the amount of information that I had never realized about that movie, and I actually enjoyed watching it.

It is interesting how children can grow up and learn, and miss things as they go through their lives, and when the come back to it later, they learn so much more from it and maybe enjoy them more. Movies are just one example. There are many other things that this can occur, such as an experience, or a trial. The first time something happens to a person, they may not get anything out of it, or if they do it may be one small thing. The next time they experience it, it can be a totally different experience for them, because their mindset has changed. Or perhaps it is because the person has changed, and even though the experience hasn't changed, they see it differently, because of who they are the second or third time around.

Sometimes people get into a habit of doing something over and over again, and they think that perhaps they will become better at what they are doing, but I might venture to day that they should try something once, and then come back a little bit later in their life, when they have lived a bit more, and then they will see it in new light and with new perspective. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again, but after a little while of pondering or change. Then things will become easier or new, and more able to be handled.

So thinking about back to the future, I never really understood it when I was little, but now that I am older, I can pick up on the subtle hints, of the plot, or just see more small details about how to follow the story. Now Back to the Future, isn't a complicated movie, but perhaps I wasn't able to concentrate very well when I watched it the first time, or maybe I just couldn't see past the first scene. Either way, it can be a good analogy to life.

So, I would say to you, please don't give up on something, just because you aren't sure how to do it. Wait a little bit, live a little, and then come back to it later, as a changed person, and you may be surprised how different it will look from a slightly different perspective.

You might be surprised how much we can get out of something so simple, and then how much more, again and again.
Thank you for reading. Happy Monday!

Cool Huh?
