Journeys in the form of words
"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. With some, you get to take an interesting …
"I have duct tape. Ordinary duct tape, like you buy in a hardware store. Turns out even NASA can't improve on duct tape."- Mark Watney (The Martian) The Martian is another of my favorite audiobooks in my library.

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 …
"The world's a playground. You know that when you are a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it."- Allison (Yes Man) I was not expecting such a profound movie when I walked into the theater to see Yes Man for the first time. It is a Jim Carrey movie. Yes, I know that …
