After viewing about twenty minutes
or so of the movie “Whatever Works”, we immediately see one of our main
characters, Marietta. When we first see
her, her clothes, her attitude, her hair, just everything about her has a very
distinct southern, stay at home wife feel. She is so caught up in her life and
in her ways that she never had the opportunity to fully explore herself and see
what she really wanted out of her life. After her husband leaves her she moves
to New York to start fresh, and after some time she changes completely. She was
very specific with one of her lines, talking to her ex-husband, when she said,
“I’m a new woman.” It is very clear by her external appearance that she has
become a new person, and just by her mannerisms and the way she carries herself
we can see she has truly discovered herself.
This
concept gives us a few very solid life lessons, we must take the time out of
our busy lives and look within ourselves and we also need to constantly be
networking and meeting new people. You never know when something as simple as a
getting a cup of coffee could be a career changing opportunity for you and your
life. Everyone is busy, but in order to
grow and advance ourselves in this world, taking time for self-discovery is
essential. It may be hard to do but separating yourself from the material
things in this world is one of the ways you can truly find yourself. Once you
have searched and centered yourself, a
goal can then be determined and achieved. In this life it is very easy to get
distracted and stray along a bumpy path, however we must do whatever it takes
to achieve our goals.
