While cleaning and working around the house, I often have the television or music playing in the background.Today it was the TV. I'd been listening to something and then continued work once that was over. While deep into a cleaning task, I stopped when I'd heard part of something interesting coming from the screen in a movie I didn't realize was playing. Luckily, I have a PVR so instant replay works. The phrase came from the character 'Soothsayer' in the animated movie Kung Foo Panda II. The pearl of wisdom dropped before Po, the panda warrior, was stunning.
"Your story may not have been a happy beginning; It doesn't make you who you are. It is the rest of the story -- who you choose to be."
Wow! Messages arrive from the most unlikely places <smile>. Much of this blog has been a journey of self discovery and learning new perspectives. This small line in an animated movie reinforced the work I've done and continue to do. Finding the happiness, contentment, and peace takes effort but it is so worth it. So, I'll leave you with a question today. Who do you want to be?
A great lyric about finding these places in our lives. Stay safe. Enjoy!
