The whole movie, really, is a perfect metaphor for how a lot of us feel when we have to tackle a new challenge, especially starting a new business.

In front of us is a huge ocean to cross. We can’t even see the faintest hint of our goal ahead. How the hell are we going to get through this?

With persistance and some help from others we eventually do.
