I've noticed a theme in movies that actually works in real life. It seems that a lot of movies have a character who thinks they want one thing, only to find something even more meaningful instead. And, even though they lose, we count them as winners.
Take Rocky for example. (Spoiler Alert) He loses in the first movie! But, it's OK, because he has Adrian. Kylie has been watching Enchanted, and the same thing happens (although, you could see it coming from a mile away).
What do we really want? We think about what we want, but I'm not sure it's what we really, really want (cue Spice Girls music). We think we want money, but we really want security. We think we want excitement but we really want something meaningful.
This Sunday, I'm talking a bit about this. How we must lose these things in order to get gain what we really want. The questions is, is it worth the trade-off?
