The best exotic Marigold hotel

Its a fun film with two of my favourite actors, Bill Nighy and Dame Judi Dench.

There were three particular phrases in the film that struck me. Pertinent and relevant.

The first one: "The only real failure is the failure to try and and the the only real measure of success is how we cope with disappointment. "

I like this one, as I am struggling a little with disappointment at the moment and I don't know what to do with it. Ignore it, fight for something else or move on. This saying gave me the answer. Be successful with it. None of the others made sense anymore. So that is what I am going to do. Be successful with it.

The second one: "Everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not, it's not yet the end."

I liked this one because its funny. It's very optimistic and a great way to look at life. I think I might use this one in a conversation some day soon, on an unsuspecting listener.

The third and final one: "Nothing goes as planned, but it's what happens instead that is more interesting."

I liked this one because it's soaked in truth. The best things that have happened to me were not planned. The exciting stuff most definitely not. Think back, how did you meet you partner? Your best friend? When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried, was that planned? How did you get your job?

So there you have it, the wisdom of a film. So if you have seen it, let me know what you thought. And remember, everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not, it's not the end!!!
