'Uptown Girls' Taught Me To Live My Life For Myself
This is what the movie Uptown Girls has taught me, and what it can teach others.
Do you remember when you were a child and you had all sorts of dreams? Do you look back and think to yourself and realize some of those dreams are crazy? Like the old sang goes there is no such thing as a stupid question, well there's no such thing as a stupid dream.
Sometimes life needs to get crazy and chaotic for us to find our path. The movie 'Uptown Girls' teaches us this great moral lesson between two different people. This movie is a classic between two different characters. The characters Molly and Ray are at different stages in their life. Opposites I would say. The eight-year-old Ray acts like a sophisticated adult, while the twenty-two-year-old Molly acts like an eight-year-old. Along the way Ray finally budges and learns that she needs to break free and not to be so uptight.
No matter how different our paths are in life we can find friendship and we can build each other up.
To be successful in life does not mean having money and being rich. Being successful is reaching our dreams, big or small. In the words of Rachel Hollis other people's opinions don't matter. Live your life you don't have to have other people's permission to live out your life. We live in fear and thinking that we need permission to live out our dreams. The truth is we don't. We will learn that the people that stick by us will support us and the ones who don't will slowly drift away. We need more people in our life that encourage us and keeps our motivation going.
That is what this movie teaches us. It teaches us that we may want a lot of things in life like money and love, but we need to work on ourselves first.
Everything starts with a dream.
