The Pursuit of Happyness

Jennifer and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness over Christmas. The movie features one of my most favorite celebrities, Will Smith. I really wanted to see this movie ever since I saw Will promoting it on Oprah. The movie is based on the true story of Chris Gardner. Gardner was a single father, who became homeless, but rose above his circumstances and is now a multi-millionare stock broker. His co-workers never knew he was homeless. There is so much more to this amazing story. It's truly eye opening to see how other people live and the strength they have. It's an awesome story and well worth watching the movie. As with most movies, I hear the book is even better and includes more details. I haven't stopped talking about it since I watched it. It has touched my heart deeply.

I left the theater feeling a little depressed because the movie's happy ending is reserved for the bitter end. However, I also left feeling incredibly motivated and inspired. And, that is something I just had to share.
