In Pursuit of Happyness...

January is a really long month, init? It feels like the middle of the month and today is 5th. Grr. Whats up with every Naija blogger writing highly inspirational stuff this week, I guess we are all caught up in the whole New Year New You thingie.
I saw the movie In Pursuit of Happyness earlier this week, and I really loved it. I recommend it. A scene caught my attention though, Remember when he went to the baseball game with the top dog, and he got an Isho/nail, it touched me in a personal way. You know how we get a break and automatically attribute it to God's plan for us, and down the road the road becomes a dead end, we are then on the verge of getting really disappointed with God. Many times God gives us breaks but they never play out the way we envisioned it, most times, especially in my life, God's plans always seem to manifest in the by-products of such big breaks rather than the breaks themselves.
OK at the risk of ruining the movie for those that are yet to see it, I am talking about, Will Smith getting marketing leads from the other less significant guys he met through the top dog and not necessarily the top dog himself. I think the lesson here is to always keep our eyes open, do not get depressed or confused too soon when your big-breaks blow up in your face. The experience and the new individuals in your lives may just be the starting block of your next big break.
