Greetings,
In today's edition of Moral of the Story, let's talk about the importance of finding your purpose as well as some good techniques for doing so and what to do once you've found it.
In addition, keep in mind that you were put on this planet for the reason I state at the beginning of the video - to serve a purpose that betters the world around you.
This is important to remember for those who haven't yet found a cutie mark of their own yet. If you come to a conclusion that's ultimately destructive to yourself, explicitly destructive to others or generally not constructive in a real way - then you should reassess yourself.
I stated in the video to avoid blind trial-and-error when finding your special talent. But if you're like Gabriella and have no idea where to start looking for your purpose, you don't have much else. So that's when it becomes a more viable option. But even still, don't go in blind because you'll end up getting lost. Reach out to your friends and family for guideance.
This was by far the hardest Moral of the Story I've ever written as there were no specific lessons that the story focused on. Even when there's a few, I can pick them out. But here, there were a lot and they were only briefly glanced over.
Some other angles I tried to tackle this script from involved:
Understanding that Gabriella HAD to go through the same type of trial-and-error as the Cutie Mark Crusaders went through in previous seasons in order to come to the same conclusions.
Whether or not you should try to help someone who can't be helped and if so - how much?
The importance of honesty to students and the potential detriments of failing to do so or creating false hope.
...All in addition to points made in the above paragraphs.
They were ultimately cut from the video for time in addition to that I could not expand upon them enough or properly segue them into the more important points. Plus there have been other installments of Moral of the Story and/or Brony Debates where I've expanded upon those themes.
Be sure to let me know what you think.
