I saw this new surfing movie last night and it really put some things into perspective for me.  The main character, Jay just has such a giving heart.  Reflecting on this movie, there were 4 points that were re-emphasized for me:

1. Invest in the relationships you have and love the people who are close to you, don’t worry so much about knowing everyone.

2. Don’t complain so much, be content with what you have and use it to the fullest
3. Look for every opportunity to help someone else or make their life easier
4. If there is a goal or a dream that you want to reach, it’s going to take hard work, probably much harder work than you anticipated, but you just have to take a chance and “drop in”!
