Personally, the movie does appear to inspire at its root levels of motivation through the love between father and son, but brings out other dilemmas for us. (1) do we seek our destiny and leave people who might have been with us a long time? (2) should we strive to achieve our success even though we might fail... particularly if those failures mean far more disappointment not just for us, but for people who depend on us. If that's the case, then do we think about the people around us first or pursue our dreams first. I know that sounds pretty either-or in thinking, but I just wanted to throw up some ideas while it's fresh in my mind. In my opinion, Happiness is not running away from us. Life gives us the blanks - we're the ones who fills them in. What are you attracting? Just caught the movie.

In my opinion, Happiness is not running away from us. Life gives us the blanks – we’re the ones who fills them in.

What are you attracting?

While it sells as an inspirational thought, it’s application in real life is suspect and disappointing.

Having wisdom is wealth, having health can make one feel wealthy, spending time with ones family can mean you are wealthy. Perception should be based on what wealth means to each individual. First step in all wealth is loving oneself. How wealthy one is, can often be overlooked and forgotten because the word is totally associated with money.

In the US, people living at the poverty line are often better of than people in some other countries by several orders of magnitude. It seems like people's perception of themselves is more important than their actual situation. It is very easy to forget how wealth we really are.
