Did Flint Lockwood’s Failures and Successes Encourage You to Keep Going?
In Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, we see how determined Flint is to succeed and create an incredible and life-changing invention. However, no matter how much he worked, his life seemed full of failed attempts. Though that’s the case, he never gave up; Flint just worked harder than ever.
His life before the success of the machine is something we can all relate to. The process of reaching our goals, after all, is tedious and complicated, and it will test your patience. But, no matter how many detours you take, if you keep on going, rest assured that you’ll meet your goal.
At the end of all our hardships, something incredible awaits us. So, like Flint, never stop. Keep moving forward, take one more step, and never allow anyone to dictate what you should and shouldn’t do.
Accept all of who you are because that will bring you closer to your dreams. If Flint didn’t persevere, and if he didn’t have confidence in himself, then nothing would work out for him. Although it will feel like there’s no way to succeed, just believe in yourself.
Like Flint, someday, all your dreams will come true! Pursue your goals, love who you are, and acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses.
