The Walter Mitty Life

I went to see the Life of Walter Mitty on Christmas Day (I never knew that many people went to the movies on Christmas Day) and it was a pretty good movie. It was one of those movies that gave me pause for thought. Walter Mitty is King of the Day Dreamers in Literature and now on the Big Screen. What I took from the movie was that it was okay to day dream but at some point and time you have to take the plunge and try to make your dreams into reality. All Walter Mitty needed was a gentle nudge to go out and go after his dreams. That gentle nudge came in the form of a day dream about a woman that he wanted to go out with. In this day dream, she encouraged him to go make it happen. It would be nice if it was that simple but that nudge needs to start from within. It is great to have a supportive partner and someone who can keep you focused, but it all starts from within. Your dreams will never see reality unless you try and put everything you have in to it.
