Private Valentine

When life hits you hard and you realize no one can understand how or where exactly it hurts, then you'll understand that the motivational speaker's words only took you to an extent.


A movie I've grown to love with the rest of my family is Private Valentine, a 2008 action-comedy. It's about a celebrity who joins the army after facing a series of emotional stress.


Everyone felt she didn't belong there and it stuck to her brain that she couldn't succeed. It took just a pep talk from a Sergeant and everything changed. Well, she understood that she had confined herself in a wall of comfort and that it was impossible to break free.


But when the scales fell off her eyes, she realized she could be anything she wanted to be. As the conflict of the story set in, no one could motivate her.


No one understood, no one was willing to.


But she pushed herself further and guess what happened? Go watch the movie.


Step out of those walls you've protected yourself in, you can do it. Yes, you can. Try again, trust again, and do it again.


Cheers to your productivity.
