Writing Prompt #9

If you could create a movie of your life, who would you cast and what would the story be?

I would most definitely cast Angus T. Jones as me!! That kid rocks. I would cast Sandra Bullock as my mother and Daniel Day Lewis as my father. They are both amazing actors and I would enjoy watching them. I would cast Jennifer Lawrence as my wife and Meryl Streep as my neighbor (they would play themselves of course). I would probably cast Tom Cruise as Aaron and Will Smith as Nick, but I might have Russell Crowe on standby if Tom Cruise does not work out. I would cast Dakota Goyo as my son and Quvenzhane Wallis as my daughter. The film would be set in 2020, and Jenn and I would be working on a new project together with the oh-so-famous Harvey Weinstein. The movie would be about my family's new life living in a home with a rich architectural pedigree. . .specifically the Crespi Hicks Estate.

All of these pictures mean a lot to me in some way, shape, or form, but the one that I really like is the one that says “BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.” I love impacting people through little things whether it is a smile going down the hallway, making someone laugh, or helping someone out. They are all little things that make a huge difference in someone’s day. It is easy to get discouraged if you are not a part of something “huge” in someone else’s life, like helping someone with cancer, starting a fundraiser for someone who is less fortunate, or doing a large project for your community, but you don’t need to do all of those things to make a huge difference; whatever YOU are doing for the people in YOUR life is all that is needed from you. “Be the change you want to see in the world”, whether by going out into it, or impacting where you are right now: your family, friends, and the strangers you pass on the sidewalk. The first step you take into someone else’s life is the first step they take in another person’s. You may not be the full wave of change in the world, but you can choose to start a ripple-effect.
