About This Quote
In this quote from the movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the protagonist, Edmund, says to his brother Lucy: “I’ve decided I want to contribute. I want to do something instead of watching the world through my well-guarded window.” This is an idea we often come across in life: “If I don't do this, I'll never do anything.” That's not true. We all have a plan for our lives that we hope will give us great joys or great successes. If we never take that first step toward our goal, we will still accomplish our goals in some way. The best thing about doing something is that you're doing something, and you're not watching the world through a well-guarded window somewhere in your home.
