Mike Wazowski in Monsters University

If you have seen Monsters Inc, I’m sure you are one of the
millions that fell in love with the little one-eyed green creature named Mike
Wazowski. Awesome movie, everyone should watch it if you haven’t already…then
came Monsters University. I am always leery to watch sequels/prequels, but
occasionally I give in to the temptation as I did with Monsters University. Although
the film wasn’t up to “Despicable Me’s” impressive animation, I still give it a
thumbs up for the underlying message that comes across.
Quick summary for Monsters University: Mike Wazowski dreamed
about becoming a scare monster since he was in elementary school. He was a
leader & studied harder than anyone else, his blood, sweat, and tears ozed
with an appetite to scare... But in the end Mike was not the right fit for a
scare monster, he just wasn’t scary. Although it had been Mike’s life-long
dream he was able to courageously step down. He realized alone he couldn’t live
his childhood dream, but with Sully and himself working together, they were an
unstoppable force.
If this were real life I would scoop up Mike and promote him
as a CEO! When someone realizes his or her dream has changed, that is something
to be admired. Your dreams can change, and likely should! The more you learn
about yourself, the more you should evaluate your future goals. One of the
first hits I took in my life was giving up architecture. I realized after 7
devout years my dream wasn’t to be an architect anymore, and that was a tough
thing to say out loud. After investing so much time, money, and effort into a
dream it can be disheartening to reassess.
Are you the part? Or are you forcing it?
Mentally and physically there are blockades in the road.
Sometimes they are worth tearing down, sometimes it is best to find another
route. Personally I related to Mike on the physical level. Obviously I’m not a
little green monster, but physically I have every indication for the stereotypical
uncultured, spoiled, young ditzy professional that you might catch yourself rolling
your eyes at. I will be the first to admit I have a young vocabulary, I have a
tremendous amount of growing to do, I look 20, my voice sounds like an 8 year
olds, and at this point if you are an older male it is fairly easy to
intimidate me if you try. But you shouldn’t take your eyes off me because this
façade is hiding a sponge beneath it. I know my limitations right now, but once
I find my Sully, I’ll be something to compete with.
Go find your Sully, whether it be the perfect job, the
perfect boss, a degree, or even a new found confidence in yourself. I’ll let
you know what mine is when I find it, best of luck!
