What Sliding Doors can teach us about big life choices

Sliding Doors, the 90s romantic comedy that everyone can’t stop talking about cough, is one of the best examples of how our lives can change based on a single, binary moment.

Either she makes the train or she doesn’t.

Either you take the city job, or you don’t.

A single moment can change the entire trajectory of our lives (and also Gwyneth Paltrow’s hairstyle).

But just as important as how much our lives can change, is the ending of that story.

At the end, her life is largely the same whether she makes the train or not.

Because we can’t escape who we truly are. And we’ll always find our way back to who we’re meant to be.
