WEEK ONE:
THE MONTAGE OF YOUR LIFE
"We'll never make it to our milestones if we can't make it through our moments."
-Beth Moore
Montages are a series of short video clips edited into a sequence to condense space, time and information in cinema. They are usually included in a film to portray the progress achieved by a character over a given amount of time. Five months of hard work can be summarized in an inspiring five minute clip, keeping audiences at the edge of their seats and rooting for the hero to succeed.
What people tend to forget is that a montage is only a representation (often misleading) of the amount of time and work needed to achieve results similar to those of the characters. The real work includes the moments when you don't see any changes in your life, but you still forge on. Moments when you feel discouraged. Moments when you fail and try again, having become all the wiser. And moments when you finally make it and rejoice. All of those moments combined produce the milestones that you will look back on and smile. So decide now; what is your montage going to look like?
