“Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014)
It’s human nature to want to be happy, but the question of where happiness comes from and why has caused human beings ponder for centuries. The film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014), based on François Lelord’s novel of the same name, invites the viewer to join Hector (played by Simon Pegg), on his research quest to discover what makes people happy.
There are films out there that inspire and fill our hearts with joy because they help bring meaning to our lives by reminding of us our own exploration of what it means to be human. On this episode, Lisa and Michael share their joy and thoughts on this delightful film which invites the viewer to join Hector as he steps out of his comfort zone to embark on a larger than life adventure in search for happiness. In the movie, Hector learns a beautiful set of lessons and discovers insights that will lead to greater happiness which he records as a list in his notebook.
We are so inspired by the meaningful message of this film that we wanted to share it with you. Hector in Search of Happiness invites us all to become increasingly aware of what does and does not bring us happiness. In the film, Hector searches the globe to find the secret of happiness which ultimately lies more in the contrast of what Hector believes happiness should be, to what happiness actually is. The film is a great reminder that happiness is about discovering what happiness means to you. Sometimes to find happiness for yourself you need to get a little lost, the journey is unique to you but this film is a wonderful invitation to start you on your own an amazing adventure to discovering your own happiness path. We encourage you to make the time to watch the film, and to make your own list of what happiness means to you. Focus on the opportunities that exist daily that are available to you to experience happiness; reflect upon your list, absorb the list, and adopt the principles into your quest to create the happy life you love to live. See every day as an opportunity to be happy, you deserve it!
