My Life in Five Minutes

Usually, a human life last years, decades, sometimes even a century… or more. However, life is so repetitive that it takes a set of incredible actions to make it stand out. Famous people, unforgivable people, heroes, artists, etc. made and make a difference. Legends are born and other persons talk about them. Generation after generation, the knowledge is passed and they become immortal.

In most cases, when they were alive—in their time—they didn’t feel any different; quite the opposite, most were rejected or couldn’t fit in the society at the time. Of course, there’s the other side of the coin, some lived great lives and enjoyed every minute of it… did they?

And then there are movies.

“What about the movies?” you may ask.

There’s this way to make the immortal more immortal, a picture is not enough. A motion picture can be a powerful way to teach us about these famous people, yet, these movies are usually two hours or a little less.

If famous people lives can be captured in film in two hours or less, how long would it take to show my life? This triggers several questions:

Is my life interesting?

Am I one more sheep in the herd?

Am I living life to the fullest?

Can I make a difference?

And the list goes on… and on… and on.

But, think about it, how long would the movie of your life be?

That’s a question that only you can answer…

That’s why I think the movie of my life is five minutes long…
Or more...
Or way more...
It could be less too...
