Last night we watched a movie called The Big Year staring Steve Martin, Owen Wilson, and Jack Black. The premise was these three compete in a contest where participants attempt to observe the most birds they can in a single year.
To compete (and this is apparently a real contest), those playing need to strategize (and finance) how to observe over 700 birds in a single year, which necessitates traveling around the world.
While the movie isn’t the best film ever made, it depicts the impact an ambitious, slightly crazy, goal can have in our lives.
By embarking on a big year, for example, each character in the film changes. One finds a new romantic relationship, the other clarifies his ultimate goals in life, and the third identifies a new horizon to explore after his big year.
Could 2024 be a “big year” for you?
Is there an ambitious pursuit, idea, project, or goal you might identify before the new year begins? One that within its pursuit might bring positive changes and even blessings into your life?
