I just watched one of my favorite movies of 2015, and arguably the best one of the year--at least that's my opinion, The Martian, for the millionth time. I watch it whenever it comes on one of the movie channels even though I have the DVD. It is packed with exhilarating adventure, danger, inspiration and power. Not to be a spoiler, but the main message of the movie is easily encapsulated by the speech at the end by Mark "the Martian" Watney:
"At some point everything is going to go south on you.
You can either accept that or you can get to work.
You just begin.
You do the math.
Solve one problem, then solve another problem, and then another and if you solve enough problems you get to come home."
Of course, considering the grand scheme of the movie it is the plot outline, lol, but really it should be a plot outline for everyone in life--especially people who want to achieve a goal like weight loss. At some point everything is going to go south on you. You can either accept that and give up, or you can get to work.
BE the Space Pirate!
GET TO WORK.
