There are a few people in Hollywood who I admire because they are not afraid to include their faith and what they stand for into their work, one of them being Tyler Perry. Faith is seamlessly into his characters' lives, in a way that many movies just don't do. When asked what is the role of faith in work? he answered: " I don't know why is never talked about in films. There are people [making films] that believe, but they do it in the closet. They believe very quietly. There is this huge separation of church and state. I am not afraid to mix the two. I'm not afraid to have a character say "I'm a christian" or "I believe in God", because I think they represent real people on this earth.

I totally agree, and can totally relate to his perspective.

Thoughts...

"You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don't make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you". Maya Angelou

I feel like I have waisted three years of my life being careless, studying and working on something that I have absolutely no passion for. I will never finish thanking the means that revealed to me my purpose and passion in this life, because life is too short to spend it unhappy.

We come to this world with nothing (material), and leave with nothing. We all have a purpose in this life, make it your goal to fulfill it!!

1st example

Everyone who has been gifted or honored with some kind of influence over people should use it for the benefit of the people. A good example of this,would be singer Christina Aguilera, whos artistry has been many times negatively criticized, has done admirable philanthropic and humanitarian work. Aguilera, has worked with National Alliance of breast cancer research organizations, Missing Kids, Do Something, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Refuge UK. Contributes in the fight against AIDS as a spokesperson for MAC AIDS fund and in 2009 became the global spokesperson for World Hunger Relief. She was honored at Variety's annual "Power of Women" luncheon for her charitable causes.

It's about time we stop being so selfish just thinking about all the material things this world has to offer and start sharing and giving back!!
