inspired by greatness

When someone says they are having a, "Guys Night Out," they should know that by placing that label solely for them, in the end, it won't turn out to be just a guys night out. Let me explain by telling you a story... 

I may have just ruined guys night out the other night by inviting myself to see a movie. I know what you might be thinking, but lets be honest, when you are one of those girls who grew up with brothers and would rather go wrestle than put on a tu-tu, why wouldn't you want to barge in on guys night out; especially when they are going to see Warrior. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you stop whatever you are doing and head to your nearest theatre to watch. All those rumors saying how intense, powerful, moving, and brilliant the movie is are all true. In fact, they couldn't be more dead on. It is one of those movies you are sitting at the edge of your seat the entire time. It is one of those movies where you have to contain yourself from yelling or cheering for whatever may happen. It is one of those movies that everyone can apply themselves to. 

I love those feel-good movies where in the end, you are inspired to go out and do something in your life or someone else's to make a difference. You are inspired to work harder then you have ever worked. You are inspired to feel a passion towards something that you have never felt before. You are inspired to feel greatness; and I can promise you, you will feel greatness 

after watching these films. 

REMEMBER THE TITANS

"This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men. I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family. You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other or not, but you will respect each other. And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men."

SANDLOT

"Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong."

ROCKY IV

"Going in one more round when you don't think you can - 

that's what makes all the difference in your life."

RUDY

"Were gonna go inside, were gonna go outside, inside and outside. Were gonna get 'em on the run boys and once we get 'em on the run were gonna keep 'em on the run. And then were gonna go go go go go go and were not gonna stop 'til 

we get across that goalline." 

COACH CARTER

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence 

automatically liberates others."

WARRIOR

"My life is simple, my food is plain, and my quarters are uncluttered. In all things, I have sought clarity. I face the troubles and problems of life and death willingly. Virtue, integrity and courage are my priorities. I can be approached, but never pushed; befriended but never coerced; killed but never shamed."
