What Get's You Going....Willing to Pay the Price?

What do you want most?...what is that get's you out of bed everyday and motivates you? Do you have a passion, a dream, a goal?.... In Black Swan, we see a very talented young lady so ambitiously pursuing her passion that she ends up paying a huge price for such a quest. Black Swan is a powerful, dark, physhological thriller. For sure entertaining and thought provoking at least for me. (Big surprise). The plot made me think of how we go about pursuing our goals, the pressures, expectations others have of us and the ones we have of ourselves and ultimately the price we pay for it along the way. When your a student, the price paid typically is lack of a social life and little money. As we leave the comfort and safety of academia and face the real world with all that is has to offer, what will the challenges and the pressures be and do have what it takes to succeed. What are we willing to give up and what will we gain. More importantly though, I think is this ....has a passion been indentified in your life?....is there something that motivates you to the point that you are willing to take the risk and venture out regardless of the cost. Going back to Black Swan, she took all the risk and paid the highest price. At the end she did have a wide smile as the lights faded to black. At the end of the day is that not what we all want? To end our days with a wide smile??...
