Into the WIld (image credit)

in 2007, a movie called Into the Wild was made. It followed the story of Chris McCandless, a searching youth who yearned for something more from his life than a good job, steady money, and a path chosen for him. He decided to live in the Alaskan wilderness. His passion for beauty and the endless search for finding peace eventually drove him to a small bus in the middle of nowhere. As you watch the next scene, what are some of the things you believe motivate Chris in his quest?

Think about some of the following questions. How would you answer them?
1. How do you motivate yourself? In what ways do you find passion?
2. What is your passion? If you don't know, how could you go about finding it?
3. What are some things you can only experience by doing alone? Are they bad, good, or a mixture of both?
4. What are some things that we can learn and use to help motivate others from the movie clip?
