I can't say how many times I have watched it. One of the best scenes is where Will and his best friend Chuckie argue over the fact that Will wants to continue his life in South Boston despite the fact he is a math prodigy (on top of a lot of other things). Chuckie tells Will: "You don't owe it to yourself, man. You owe it to me. Cuz tomorrow I'm gonna wake up, and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this shit. And that's all right. That's fine. I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. And you're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit. 'Cause I'd do fuckin' anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin' guys. It'd be an insult to us if you're still here in 20 years. Hangin' around here is a fuckin' waste of your time." In some ways, Chuckie is speaking to all of us—we all have our own lottery tickets, yet we are afraid to cash them in. We continue doing what we are doing rather than doing something different—even though it would mean creating the life we want. And don't tell me you're not a math prodigy. You got through law school- you have incredible talents. It is time to show the world how "wicked smart" you are and go after your dreams. What can you do today to move forward?

I like the part of that where Affleck/Chuckie tells his best friend "You know what the best part of my day is. for about ten seconds. " It's about 2:30 in from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv7eeMikM_w Setting the stage for this scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49TeSoo4Sx8

I absolutely agree!! I, too, love this film and have watched and enjoyed it countless times. It continues to inspire and teach me. We must gather up our courage and step outside of our comfort zones to share our unique gifts. We must.

So true - particularly this from your post: We continue doing what we are doing rather than doing something different—even though it would mean creating the life we want. Thanks Sheila Murphy

What a great &*(ing movie. I love so many moments, including the exchange with Robin Williams, the exchange at the Harvard Bar about "Robert Wood." Today, I have a day long intensive with a client. We were due to start work at 10 am, but the rain has delayed everything. She is on the west side highway somewhere. So my growth today is "we will make it work" out of my control

I just re-watched this movie earlier this week. We stand in our own way. Once in a while we all need a "Chuckie" to remind us that.
