It's a wonderful life

What does this movie mean to me? Something special? No idea as of now. May be time will tell, whether this movie continues to inspire when in deep abyss of depression or just a butterfly which sparkles my mind for tiny moments.
George Baily appears to be a simple man of high ideals, with lots of dreams in his eyes. His dreams continue to elude him and dragging him to apparently distasteful daily routine. But probably the inner voice keeps him into business of helping poorer section of the society. No single time however, the fact strikes his mind that he is doing it any great service to his society. In fact he swerves through dilemma of making money, keeping his family into worldly wealth or keep doing what his inner voice tells him do. His brother, friends & many others around him achieve the great success in their lives, keeping him wondering sometimes if he was a failure. The day comes by in his life, when the hell breaks loose for him, making him believe he is not worthy of living a life. He is more a dead than alive. The cruel reality breaks him & forces him on the brink of committing suicide. Now here he needs a miracle to turn his life upside down, a guardian angel bestows upon him, showing him what the world around him would have been without him. There he understands the impact of his life, which happened to touch so many lives around him. He may not have achieved presidential decorates & medals, but has earned colossal respect, love, care from all the society, who stands by him in his disastrous times, making him truly a richest man known.
Either the inner conviction that keeps men like him going on and on, doing their duties without even thinking about themselves, or its sheer nature of the warm soul they possess. Is this movie an inspirational movie? I don’t know. But what it entrusts is belief in myself, belief in the path that this life has laid out for me and belief in values I behold. No matter how my life unfolds unto me, my trust would not quiver. This is probably much more that I had ever anticipated a movie can give me. Yes, more than quality time and subject to think. It re affirms me, it’s a wonderful life.
