What price would you pay to change your life?

I just saw the movie 'Pursuit of Happiness' last night. 'The story's based on the life of Chris Gardner, who started a successful career as a San Francisco stockbroker 25 years ago after risking everything on a six-month, unpaid internship while struggling to care for his son.'

This is a great motivator for individuals who are stuggling and working hard to breakout of their present situation. The price Gardner is willing pay in order to live the life he feels he derves is encouraging to say the least.

There are many wonderful character qualities throughout the movie that most of us can indentify with including:
  • hard work
  • persistance
  • faith
  • determination
  • relationships
  • and many others

While each of these qualities helped contribute to Chris Gardner's success, it is his values that ultimately influenced his mindset and therefore turned his ability into achievement.

If you haven't seen this movie, take the night off and check it out!

Ask yourself what price are you willing to pay to live the life that you deserve?
