Journeys in the form of words
"It won't always go your way, so you can't get trapped in this idea that just because you've imagined a possibility for yourself that you somehow deserve it. Your entitled mind is dead weight. Cut it loose. Don't focus on what you think you deserve. Take aim on what you are willing to earn."- David …
"Don't walk into a place like you wanna buy it. Walk in like you own it."- Matthew McConaughey (Greenlights) I know that Matthew McConaughey is not for everyone, but if you can look beyond his movie appearances and on-screen personas, the man is a wonderful philosopher. Greenlights is a glimpse into the life of a …
"I never considered my dreams wasted energy. They were invariably linked to some form of action. When I dreamed about having a lemonade stand, for example, it wasn't long before I set up a lemonade stand."- Ray Krok (Grinding It Out: The Making of McDonald's) I have no way of knowing what kind of personality …
"Don't be in the business of playing it safe. Be in the business of creating possibilities for greatness."- Bob Iger (The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company) I have been through many different memoirs, biographies, and autobiographies.

"I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real."- Wade Watts Ready Player One Ready Player One is the audiobook that changed my entire world. I enjoyed reading long before this one ever came out, but it was this …
I have been doing a lot of thinking about where I want this blog to go next. There are a lot of things that inspire me beyond movies. I love books, TV shows, and video games, and I know that not everyone enjoys movies so this will be a win-win for all. Starting soon, I …
Yesterday was my 100th inspirational movie post. Rather than taking a break, I thought I would take a moment to reflect on those 100 days and what has happened since. So many things have changed and there are so many things to be grateful for. I cannot give all the credit to these movies or …
"Destiny. It belongs to the underdogs."- Dick Vermeil (American Underdog) I thought, for my 100th post, I would return to the movie that started this journey toward inspirational quotes from movies. American Underdog is not my all-time favorite movie, but I would be lying if I said I didn't think about it almost every day. …
"You want to see a miracle? Be the miracle."- God (Bruce Almighty) That is right. I am hitting everyone with another Jim Carrey movie. Why? Because I chose it that is why. Bruce Almighty was another one of his projects that was one of his better comedy movies that ended up morphing into a story …
