Was watching this movie in the afternoon. By the time I switched to this movie, it has probably started half way.
However, the moment I saw it, I knew I have seen it some time before. In fact, it was a very long time ago...
Funny how the mind works. I started to remember the interior of the house, the theme (which is bare minimalism), colour scheme, the sand-blasted main glass door, the Porche 911 that's parked outside, coming back to an empty home... (this was the beginning I missed but remember vividly).
What I recalled all those years back was how cool I thought the character was. Successful, independent, living in a contemporary house with a 2 door sports car.
I wanted to be like him!
Well, plus the fact that he's Bruce Willis! My favourite star since Moonlighting TV series.
What I have missed out then that I picked up this time round are things I never thought at that point in time would matter to me.
It made me realised what an arrogant bastard I have been.
Blinded by greed and desire. Thought I could do no wrong, could control anything and everything, at any given day and time.
Money, position, perks, recognitions were how I measured my success.
I truly thought I was successful!
The part that I watched before but did not relate to the last time came pounding on me hard this time round:
It's about opening up instead of keeping it all in.
The past is history we can't change.
The future is how we want it to be.
The present matters as it shapes our future.
Most important of all, success comes from the heart!
This year has been rather challenging for me with my health. It was a life changing experience for me as I finally comprehend the fundamentals of life.
This movie just reinforced to me the true meaning of success.
My definition of success:
Being able to make positive changes to people's lives through my believe, my work, my life.
Life Live. Transcend Life.
