Has anyone seen Meet the Robinsons yet? Today is my birthday and for a fun family day we went to go see this movie (in 3D... way cool!). This was such an inspirational movie , particularly considering it was a Disney cartoon for kids. My favorite parts of the movie (don't worry, this shouldnt' give anything away) is that when the main character failed at a task, in front of a family of strangers, they applauded his effort and failure! He was dumbfounded by their PRAISE of his failure. They explained that without failure, success is 'eh' no big. We learn, grow and acheive through our failures!
They were then given the motto of their family (and company business - which is inventing) KEEP MOVING FORWARD! Wow, wouldn't it be great if we could all embrace this philosophy? Wouldn't it be great if instead of mocking, chastising or punishing ourselves for failure we actually had a party for it - a realization that this way didn't work, but I'm one idea closer to success? There is much to learn from this movie, besides having an absolutely fun 2 hr movie going - fun for the whole family - experience.
KEEP MOVING FORWARD stagers....

I totally agree Melissa, especially in real estate! Last February I celebrated my second anniversary in real estate. I was unsure if I was going to make it another year. I was deeply concerned. Now, it looks as if I may have my best year yet! So, keep moving forward. We don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Happy Birthday Melissa!
I also went to see this movie with my kids and it was so much fun. Two thumbs up for this one. Although I swore the moral of the story appied to Real Estate Agents. :) Great message for the adults and kids. Never give up on your dreams
Very cute movie with super cool 3D graphics. Must see it.
Hey Melissa - Happy Birthday!!!
It's ironic that I was watching a segment of the Saturday Morning News this morning and one of the segments was about a motivational speaker and his program (can't remember his name or the course - sorry!) which is based upon developing your strengths instead of trying to work on overcoming any weaknesses. It's an interesting theory.

Get up, dust yourself off,
Happy Birthday!
get going.
