I was thinking about how our lives are like movies.

Someone on the outside looking in could see the mishaps, the follies, and know it’s all going to work out in the end and that there will be a beautiful ending despite the “scenes” of our lives and all their content. But for us, the “characters”, we can’t step back and see that.

Think about:

• The “soundtracks” of our lives: the music that speaks to us or about our circumstances… 
• The “supporting actors”: our family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances… 
• The dramatic climaxes: experiences building in intensity until at last giving way to the revealing of tried but true friendships, self-reflection, self-awareness, overcoming heart wrenching trials and experiencing heartwarming triumphs, expected and unexpected love…

And all these coming together to create an unimaginable outcome resulting in our own realization that everything has not been in vain and all is truly okay.
