She’s the Man

This post is kind of all over the place, however, I promise it’s worth a read :)

We all have those moments where we’re struggling with something significant. It usually fits into one of three categories. Our social lives, our education life, or our work lives.Have you ever noticed that when you’re struggling, you are looking for comfort in something that will bring you.. Happiness?

Enter, my common cure.

“ And when I close my eyes, I see you for who you truly are, which is UGGGGLAY!"

I can’t even begin to explain all the lessons you can learn from this movie. All I want to explain to you though, is how it brings me much happiness to my soul (And yes, I have one).

Quick overview of the movie: It’s a modernization of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night, or What You Will." Viola’s soccer team is canceled, so she goes to a rival school disguised as her twin brother to play, where she meets Duke, who likes a girl named Olivia, who likes Viola’s twin brother Sebastian, who is really Viola. A movie full of hilarity ensues. Lost yet? Good.

The tagline to this movie can really sum up what I’m thinking every time I watch this movie. "If you wanna chase your dreams, sometimes you gotta break the rules."

Now, take that line and switch a word or two and you get.... "If you wanna achieve happiness, sometimes you gotta break the rules."

But Chelsea, what does that even mean?!?!

Simple.

We all know what makes us happy. The only thing that prevents us from achieving our own happiness is ourselves. We put other people before ourselves, or we just don’t feel like we deserve it. Here’s the deal, be selfish. If you happen to make other people happy in the process, brownie points to you, but your main focus should be yourself.

Don’t know how you achieve your own happiness yet? You can either follow along with us on this awesome blog, and get ideas, but let’s just be honest. You know what makes you happy, you just have to decide if it’s worth breaking some rules over. (The answer is always yes.. Unless it’s Illegal.. Then the answer is No.)

Try it. The next time you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders, go rent She’s the Man. You’re Welcome in advance.
