Just before Christmas I went to the cinema to see "It's a Wonderful Life" for the first time and loved it. I was aware that it was about a man who was shown what everyone's life would have been like if he had never existed but the way the story was laid out, showing you his ambitions as a young boy to travel and leave the small town that he was brought up in helped you understand the helplessness he felt when life's circumstances stopped him from doing that.
However in his alternative life he was surrounded by friends and family who adored him.
It made me think about how life might not turn out how you expect it but you will still be exactly where you need to be, for yourself and others.
