Hector and the Search for Happiness

Several months ago, I finally saw this movie. I don’t know why but for some reason it really stuck with me. I think a lot of it had to do with the list he creates throughout the movie, as really stuck with me. After watching the movie, I found a webpage that had the list and I have had the tab open on my browser to this list for a long time. I figure I would just add it here so that I could have it and finally close that tab.

  1. Making comparisons can spoil your happiness.
  2. A lot of people think happiness is being rich or important.
  3. Many people see happiness only in their future.
  4. Happiness could be the freedom to love more than one woman at the same time.
  5. Sometimes happiness is not knowing the whole story.
  6. Avoiding unhappiness is not the road to happiness.
  7. Does the person you’re with bring you predominately A) Up or B) Down?
  8. Happiness is answering your calling.
  9. Happiness is being loved for who you are.
  10. Sweet Potato Stew!
  11. Fear is an impediment to happiness.
  12. Happiness is feeling completely alive.
  13. Happiness is knowing how to celebrate.
  14. Listening is loving.
  15. Nostalgia is not what it used to be.

 

Some of these really stick out to me, and I think I need to do a better job of, such as numbers 1, 5, 6, 13 & 15. Regardless I always find it fun and uplifting to look at this list every now and again.
