SUBTLE SIGNS AND NUDGES







I have always been attuned to the subtle "signs" and gentle "nudges" from the universe. These affirmations often guide me back onto the right path. Some might call this their guardian angel, but I wouldn’t go so far as to claim it's a sign from God; surely, God has more important matters than troubleshooting for us mortals! Haha! 


Lately, I've been overwhelmed with work, goals, daily chores, life’s setbacks, and even more setbacks. I keep piling tasks onto my plate, fully aware that while my heart may be willing, my time is already committed! For the tasks i commit myself to each day, i will need at least five of me! LOL!  

As usual, I ‘meditated’ and asked for a sign. Was I running myself into the ground? Were the sleepless nights, countless sacrifices my family made, and the fear that all this effort is just a pipe dream worth it? Though it may sound melodramatic, the reality is I often find myself adrift in a sea of doubt. 


So, when Zack casually turned on the TV while I was deeply engrossed in my work, poring over books, I quickly said, "I can't watch anything now, Zack. I need to finish this; I won't have time tomorrow." He didn't respond but knew me well enough to leave the TV on. If something truly caught my attention, I would inevitably set everything aside and allow myself to be drawn into the movie.


The movie "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" really resonated with me through its portrayal of an ordinary individual's extraordinary journey. Ada Harris feels like a reflection of so many of us, with big dreams and endless obstacles but an unwavering determination and hope. Her story of saving for a luxury item and experiencing a new world in Paris captures that universal aspiration we all have for a better life and personal fulfillment. This film reminds me that no matter who we are or where we come from, we can achieve our dreams and find beauty and joy in life. 

Ada’s journey feels so relatable. Just like her, many of us are chasing our dreams with passion and determination. While Ada dreams of owning a Dior dress, we all have our own versions of that dream, whether it's making a mark in our careers, pursuing a passion, or simply striving for a better life. Ada’s resilience, as she overcomes financial and societal obstacles to reach Paris, mirrors the challenges we face in our own lives. Her story is a testament to the never-give-up attitude that so many of us embody. 


Ada’s trip to Paris transforms her life, exposing her to new experiences and opportunities. Similarly, my own journey, filled with hard work, collaborations, and evolving aspirations, has led to personal and professional growth, opening up new horizons. Ada’s story of stepping out of her comfort zone to fulfill her dream is so empowering, and it mirrors the journeys of many people who believe in themselves and work tirelessly to achieve their goals. 


What touches me deeply about Ada’s journey is the kindness she encounters along the way. I’ve been fortunate to have the support of friends, family, and communities, and I know how crucial that is. The support from those around us can make all the difference, helping us overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. It’s a beautiful reminder of the importance of community and support systems. 

In essence, Ada’s story, like the journeys of so many everyday people, shows that with determination, resilience, and a bit of support, ordinary individuals can achieve extraordinary dreams. Her journey in "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" is a reflection of the inspiring paths many of us walk. 


Despite the disparities in wealth, opportunities, and circumstances, the desire to achieve our dreams and improve our lives is universal. Ada Harris's story, like that of many average dreamers, highlights the shared human experience of striving for something greater, regardless of the challenges posed by societal inequalities. 

In a world marked by disparity, her story is a reminder that resilience and hope can lead to remarkable outcomes. It inspires me to keep pushing forward, even when faced with significant obstacles. Her journey showcases how persistence and self-belief can transcend barriers. 


The film also emphasizes the impact of kindness and support from others in overcoming challenges. In a world where disparity often limits access to resources, the collective power of community and compassion can help bridge gaps and enable individuals to achieve their dreams. Acts of kindness and solidarity truly make a difference. 

Ada and the stories of many individuals demonstrate how transformative experiences can arise from pursuing one's dreams. They show that even in a world of disparity, opportunities for growth and change are possible, inspiring us to seek out and embrace such moments. 

Her journey reflects the importance of self-determination and empowerment. In a world where many feel powerless against systemic inequalities, these stories encourage us to take control of our destinies, no matter how small the steps may seem. Ada’s pursuit of a Dior dress serves as a symbol of aspiration that resonates with average dreamers. It illustrates that dreams are worth chasing and that with dedication and effort, extraordinary achievements are within reach, even in a world rife with disparity. 


So, suffiice to say, "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" really struck a chord with me. It felt so relatable, especially for those of us dreaming big in a world that often feels unfair. It reminded me that even with all the challenges and inequalities, our spirit to dream and achieve is unshakable. We need to remember that we are all worthy and that our dreams matter just as much as anyone else's.
