Person #2: "It was good. We enjoyed it but the plot really wandered at times... It was worth watching but was missing something. ...It wasn't worth five stars and well, I wouldn't really give it four stars either. I guess it would be three stars. I liked the storyline, it just wandered..."
Sounds like a pretty average conversation, right? But just this once something jumped out at me. After hearing her response, I thought, "WOW! Isn't that life?!"
How many people are settling for a "three stars" kind of life? It isn't really bad but it isn't really great. It's just ok enough to get comfortable. If it was bad, we might actually be motivated to do something about it. And if it were really great, we would be out shouting about it like we do with all the great films we watch.
Think about what is happening when the plot of a movie wanders. The storyline is missing the point and straying from fulfilling its purpose. Is the storyline of your life wandering? Are you missing the point or are you fulfilling your purpose? How many stars would your film receive?
