The easiest way to fail to achieve your goals is through lost motivation. A busy schedule, fires that need to be put out (more pressing needs) or just having a bad day or week can disrupt your progress toward any goal. When you reach the point where you feel the need to “refuel”, one good way may be to relax and watch a good movie. But don’t just watch the latest version of “Jackass” (I’d rather have my fingernails pulled out - wait, probably a poor reference here!), turn to a list of great movies that’ll also leave you ready to attack your world again. Here’s a short list of my favorites:
The Pursuit of Happyness, Will Smith, based on a true story
Rudy, Sean Astin, based on a true story
Invincible, Mark Wahlberg, based on a true story
Invictus, Matt Damon, based on a true story
The Blind Side, Sandra Bullock, based on a true story
The Power of One, Morgan Freeman, based on a true story
Running the Sahara, Documentary
Remember the Titans, Denzel Washington, based on a true story
Glory Road, Josh Lucas, based on a true story
Radio, Cuba Gooding, Jr., based on a true story (see a trend here?!)
In all of them, it comes down to the second rule of SmartGeorge: Life ain’t easy! (First rule of SmartGeorge: Life ain’t fair) All of these movies show that reaching your goals only comes from hard work and persistence, and they’ll give you some of yours back.
What are some of your favorite inspirational movies? Let me know!
