One of my favorite movies of all time is Click with Adam Sandler.  I loved the theme and message behind the story.  Sandler plays Michael Newman, an overworked architect who wishes that he had a remote to control his life.  During a trip to Bed Bath & Beyond, he meets Marty (played by Christopher Walken).  Marty presents Michael with a new remote control that can actually be used to control his life.  At first, the remote seems like a godsend.  Michael uses it to fast-forward through arguments with his wife, the process of getting changed in the morning, and the nightly chore of taking the dog out.  He gradually increases his dependence on the remote and decides that he wants to fast-forward to work promotions and other pivotal points in his life.  Pretty soon, the remote programs itself to start controlling all aspects of Michael’s life.  He quickly becomes alienated from his family and the people who are important to him.  Before long, Michael’s life has passed him by and he is left longing for the memories that he never had a chance to experience.

The moral of the story is this: Life is as much about the moments you would rather forget as it is the moments you will always remember.

Our time here on this earth is short.  Life can pass us by in the blink of an eye.  Always make the most of every situation and value the moments you know are worth holding on to.
