Pursuing Happiness



We thought of relaxing...that will be good. My husband and I took our respective lazy boy, and played this DVD.

Wow! The story line amazingly grabbed us the minute the film started. Chris Gardner's story was so gripping, it will pierce your soul. Denzel played the character so well. Aftet the film, I was in tears...I can't believe what this man has gone through without losing his nuts. He got no money, has no real job, lost his partner, lost his home and has to fight every afternoon to have a space at the shelter. Yet he should be tough enough for his boy. He took a training program without a cent-wage nor a promise of a real job. To get the job, he got to beat the other aspirants.
He is tough cookie, overcoming all the turmoils. My story telling won't do justice on the lessons you'll learn when you read (watch) the story yourself.
Can you pursue happiness? Why is it elusive? Can you say you're content and also happy, do they really go together? If you are content and therefore happy, is there anything else to pursue? Once you feel discontent, you start searching for something to make you feel happy again. So is happiness a real thing, or just a positive feeling? Search within.
Go ahead, be inspired.
