Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Not only because it is funny or has a good story, but because it is full of great messages.

The part of this blockbuster production that hits me the most is the running journey.

For those not familiar with the movie, one day Forrest Gump, the main character, stepped out of his house and started running for no particular reason at all.

As he ran, he found joy and freedom, and he kept going because he enjoyed it so much.

It became a journey for him, a way to see the world and experience new things.

Forrest's running wasn't about winning a race or achieving a goal; it was about the pure joy of running and the adventure it brought into his life.

To me, that is the way that I see my career. I have been in this journey for almost 26 years now and I still feel the pleasure of “running”.

However, through these 2.5 decades I learned 3 things about keeping going through our long days in broadcasting:

• It is great to enjoy what we do, but is also okay to stop. Making a pause is not only nice, it is necessary.
• You will last longer in this business as long as you have a purpose, or as long as you enjoy the ride.
• Just like you started in this business you can decide to get out of it. Remember, Forrest suddenly stop running and that did not make him less.

You might be thinking that movies have nothing to do with real life. In many cases, you have been going for years with no satisfaction, just the need to fulfill your economic needs.

If that is your case, you might want to check if it is time to put yourself first and find something that you could do for the rest of your life, non stop.

Making that change won’t be easy but the more you delay the process the more miserable you will be.

If you settle for what you have right now in your broadcasting career, make sure that is something that fulfills you.

If not, you will find yourself running, wanting to stop but not being able to do it.
