The Office

I'm not a huge huge fan of The Office, but there is a scene in the past episode I find especially moving. It is when Jim's brothers hijack the wedding and everyone starts dancing to Chris Brown's "Forever" (ala - that youtube video), and Pam's sister asks her "Wait, you're okay with this?" Even though her wedding had just been shanghaied, Pam was still okay with it, because it made everyone else happy.

That scene helped me realize - some things are bigger than you. Sometimes, things don't turn out exactly how you want them to, but if everyone else is having a great time, then what is the problem? You have to find contentment in yourself - but if a moment you had always wished for gets ruined by your friends, you have to be able to shrug it off and indulge in their happiness.
