Has anyone seen the movie Into The Wild? It is the true story of Christopher McCandless. After graduating from Emory University, he leaves everything behind to venture off to his ultimate destination, Alaska. During his 2 year journey, he encounters people from all walks of life, living on his own terms.
His story can be perceived as one of selfishness, because he does not inform anyone of his departure nor contacts anyone during his journey OR one of self-purpose. A man who wants to experience life, living off the land as our forefathers once did.
The movie is based on the 1996 non-fiction book by the same name authored by Jon Krakauer. You will appreciate the passion Chris has for taking the direction of his life in his own hands. He donates $24,000 to charity (his life savings), cuts up his credit cards, destroys his ID documents and eventually loses his car.
Chris was a man set forth to control his own destiny, not letting anyone else tell him how to live. He didn't want someone else to control the outcome of his life, he did it on his own.
Here is a glimpse of Into The Wild. It is a must see movie, especially if you want to control your own destiny!
