The fish story from Soul

Just something I wanted to keep here for future reference. This is a little line from Disney and Pixar’s new animated film Soul. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest that you do. It’s a great, fresh take on passion, purpose, and and the point of living.

This is the fish story:

I heard this story about a fish, he swims up to an older fish and says:

“I’m trying to find this thing they call the ocean.”

“The ocean?” the older fish says, “that’s what you’re in right now.”

“This”, says the young fish, “this is water. What I want is the ocean!”

How many times have we found ourselves as that younger fish?
