This is Day 369 of the COVID-19 pandemic here in Toronto, Canada.
Eddie Murphy was recently interviewed on The Drew Barrymore Show where he recommended to Drew to do a victory dance for when she is feeling down. It was about envisioning that you’ve already won life’s challenges and to do a victory dance every morning! This was an exercise in self-love. To me this was also about believing in a positive vision of your ideal future.

Having a vision or practicing creative visualization have always been a big part of my life, not just as an artist and illustrator but for getting me out of difficult times and managing depression. Some visions of my future, like happier relationships and improved health, have come true and some still need time to percolate and manifest. I will continue to persevere in my vision of these remaining areas.

Movies have also been a primary tool for developing my skills of visualizing. And there is a fantastic film that allowed a filmmaker to fulfill his artistic vision after it had been taken away from him. Fans lobbied for years for the film studio to release the “Snyder Cut” and, after several years of perseverance, it actually happened!
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
The superhero action film, Zack Snyder's Justice League , is Snyder's definitive director's cut of Justice League originally released in 2017 under another director's vision, Joss Whedon. This four hour version restores Snyder’s original vision of the team formation of Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and the Flash (Ezra Miller).

This new movie was a spectacular, cinematic experience! I was in utter awe with just the first chapter (six chapters and an epiloque). And the tone, look and feel is completely different from the original 2 hour version. The pace was poetic and the new movie soundtrack and songs elevated the heartfelt moments and stunning action sequences. Wonder Woman’s new introduction action sequence is so breathtaking and thrilling!
The film is a true work of art and I’m so happy that Snyder, who wasn’t paid, was able to complete his original vision. The film’s completion was also thanks to countless fans who persevered for years with their own vision and efforts of seeing this version released.
Having a vision of the future you desire is the very first key to achieving it. Having a vision also takes you out of the negative mindset that see your current challenges as hopeless or impossible to break free of. Find a film today to inspire you to see a brighter version of yourself and a more exciting and thrilling future!
