When things get tough it is really easy to throw in the towel and give up. The movie unbroken gives a good example to follow.
Life will get hard and there will be days were you feel you cannot possibly continue on. When these difficult situations crop up it may be difficult to stand up for what you truly believe in. In Unbroken Louie teaches us to stay true to who we are even when the situation gets tough. Louie started out as a trouble some kid and then turned into an Olympic athlete and then decided to serve our country. It is extremely clear that Louie believed in this country and would never stray. Louie was offered more comfort if he would talk badly about the United States. But in the end he chose to for go comfort and stay loyal to our country.
In the world we live in today there are some instances where there is a lack of commitment. When you commit yourself to something you must follow through. Today many people abandon things they have committed too. Louie would not give up on this country even when it seemed to have forgotten him.
I learned an important lesson from this movie. Life will enviably become difficult. You will fall and be worn down by life. Your falls do not define you. What defines you is how you respond and get back up. Do not give up. You are stronger than you think. You cannot allow people to intimidate you to change, you must stand your ground and not give up.
How strong are you? Have you given up lately or have you risen to the occasion?
