Southpaw

watching southpaw during a plane ride

This is the first time I’m gonna write about a movie. I watched the movie SOUTHPAW where Jake Gyllenhal plays as a World boxing Champion who found himself in a messed up situation when his wife died in an accident and lost everything from his property, career, friends and family.

I highly recommend watching this movie as it tells us that not all successes are permanent when it is driven by our emotions or aggressiveness. True success comes when it is done with the heart and for the purpose of redemption.

We sometimes fail and often times as they say, when it rains it pours. If we let all those darkness, failure, hopelessness and emptiness control our lives. We become a mess, we get lost, we forget about all the other things that actually matters. The people who care for us, our family and friends, their support and love, our inner peace, our calmness, our true purpose. we hurt ourselves and we hurt the people around us. Change must be done when life gives us a second chance to do things right.

Great story, I cried at some parts of the movie because it reminded me of the times when I was feeling down and felt like I am of no value. Knowing and finding yourself first, everything else follows. Once you have yourself together, you are free to accept every challenge that life gives you. I wouldn’t like to use the word revenge, but rather self-redemption. A new revelation will appear right in front of you and a new hope will be given for all your dreams.
