What You Choose Is What Matters

Saturday night and there was nothing much to do at home. Left with grown up kids at home who have their own things to do, I was left with no choice but to decide how I would spend my night away.

At first I seem can't decide what to do, either watch a movie or read a book. I opted for the first. After a hard day's work I needed the rest and respite. Yes, Saturday and I was still working. I have a project to do and meet deadlines on the work I have set out for myself.

I needed something light, I thought... something really entertaining. The list of videos I have contains some heavy stuff, luckily I found something - Kung Fu Panda 2.

It was really a nice sequel to the original with the story revolving how the identity of Po came about. Where he came from and how he end up being a son of a goose up to the point he understood what happened to his real parents. The realization of what his life is meant to be.

There is a  moral lesson I picked up from the movie. It may be made for children and the young ones, but thinking deeper, it really have some moral teachings you can pick up.

"Your story may not have a happy beginning, but what matters is the rest of your story." This is a very strong statement. The choice always falls on our shoulder how we intend to finish each stories in our life. In every day we live we can choose how we end up our day - winning or losing.

Every instance of our day is a story on its own that keeps on adding to the big picture that is our life. Always there is a chance and the hope to attain a happy ending, in spite of a sad beginning.

"Your story may not have a happy beginning, but what matters is the rest of your story." How you choose the ending of your story is what really matters.
