Starring.... in the Movie of Her Life

The Sartorialist's posted a picture today of a gentleman on the streets of Milano, with the header "Starring in the Movie of His Life". How brilliant!!! The picture is great, of course, effectively and magically capturing the moment (the gentleman was definitely well dressed, God bless him); but Scott Schuman hit it on the nail with the header.

Aren't we all... starring in the movie of our lives???

So if you were the director of the movie of your life, how will it look like? What's the setting, the mood, the pace? Will it be cinematic? Will it be more Quentin Tarantino (mine will be for sure, with all my morbid thoughts and bloody dreams!), Roman Polanski, Steven Spielberg, Danny Boyle, Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou, Pedro Almodovar... or Tim Burton??

What will your story be like? Who will be the protagonists and the supporting actors/ actresses? Oh!! And how will your soundtrack sound like (that's a thought!)? What will the storytelling be like?

Koks and I had an interesting conversation in the car today (between dropping of Marrybrown, getting our travelling backpacks and Macdonald's Nuggets..), about believing in that nothing is impossible. We are lucky to be in the position where we have options, and are able to achieve what we set our hearts on. We genuinely believe that the world is our oyster, and that the only limiting factor or obstacle to us making the movie of our lives a blockbuster, is ourselves.

I hope to always have this attitude, yet to have my head sit firmly on my shoulders.
There is not that much more meaning to life!
