I was inspired by Will Smith and Margot Robbie in Focus—love does endure all things in life. Photo Credit: Wikipedia.
So I rented Focus, a February 2015 American romantic comedy-drama film starring Will Smith acting, as if, he is Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection and Margot Robbie, acting, as if, she is Jess, a novice con artist. I fantasized along with them as they took me inside the world of deception, crime and glamour to exciting places like Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans and to Buenos Aires, Argentina for fast, exciting and intriguing high stakes race car competition.
I become emotionally involved in their romance as there are twists, adventures, and questions as to what is real in relationships and what is pretend, made to believe and false. This is a common question or fear I have on a lot of levels in my mind and life—does God love me, does my lover love me and way down inside, do I love myself?
Looking into the career of the young and beautiful Margot Robbie, I recall another movie I have seen with her in it. Called About Time, it is a June 2013 British romantic comedy, where she is acting, as if, she is a young and beautiful girl named Charlotte.
I was inspired by Rachel McAdams (Tim’s wife Mary) and Domhnall Gleeson in About Time—we can live each day and relive it perfectly a second time within our beings in our TROML Journals. Photo Credit: WIkipedia.
The film is about a young man (Domhnall Gleeson acting, as if, he is Tim Lake) who tries to change his past in order to improve his future. Tim is told by his father that the men of his family have a special gift: the ability to travel in time. This supernatural ability is subject to one constraint – they can only travel to places and times they have been before. After his father discourages Tim from using his gift to acquire money or fame, he decides that he will use it to improve his love life. And when he does it changes the present and he realizes he can’t go back further in time then when important and good things happen in his life including his marriage and the birth of his children. His father dies of cancer and when after the birth of his third child Tim knows he can never see his father again.
Tim learns that his father has terminal cancer and that time travel cannot change it. His father has known for quite some time, but kept traveling back in time to effectively extend his life and spend more time with his family. He tells Tim to live each day twice in order to be truly happy: the first time, live it as normal, and the second time, live every day again almost exactly the same. The first time with all the tensions and worries that stop us noticing how sweet the world can be, but the second time noticing.
After reliving each day, Tim comes to realize that it is better to live each day once, and appreciate everything as if he is living it for the second time.

Where is the inspiration from Focus?
Nicky and Jess develop a romantic relationship, upsetting Nicky, who was taught by his father to never become emotionally involved with anyone in their line of business. After a Super Bowl con, Nicky gives Jess her share but reluctantly sends her away, leaving her heartbroken.
Three years later they meet in Buenos Aires and Nicky begins pursuing Jess again, and they eventually rekindle their relationship. A smiling Nicky and Jess end up together in love at the end of the movie.
I guess the inspiration is that if we are properly focused in our lives, love does endure everything good and bad, expected or unexpected, whether we will it to be true or not.
Never lose focus…
God works in mysterious ways and yes do love yourself, love God and love, in your own special way, everyone that comes into your life, good or bad, in good times or bad times, the best that you can at that moment in time.

As Tim’s father says, make sure you live every day a second time being sure to notice, take notes, of how sweet the world, our individual and personalized world is… I do this through my TROML Journaling…
Isn’t it about time that you focused on ‘The Rest of Your Life?”
I love that my life makes sense and inspires me through the TROML Process, same as in the movies, whether good or bad ones, or in good times or bad times.
These two movies, Focus, and About Time were two good ones.
Have a TROML Day Today!
