Movie Lessons

Posted on November 28, 2012 by taraleigh

Soul Surfer:  “Don’t take any wave that comes along. The greatest surfers all had this 6th sense. They knew when all the best waves were coming. They can feel it. It’s a gift. You have that gift.”

Lesson:  We all have that gift. Don’t just take any wave life gives you if it doesn’t feel right. If it doesn’t feel like your wave, wait. Be patient. Your wave is out there waiting for you to ride it and you’ll miss it if you are busy catching the wrong waves.

Thelma and Louise:  “You get what you settle for.”

Lesson:  What we put our attention on is what we attract into our lives. If we put our attention on what we don’t want we will get more of it.  Where do you want to focus your attention?  What you want or what you don’t want?  The choice is yours.

The Pursuit of Happiness: “You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something? Go get it. Period.”

Lesson:  When people feel insecure or threatened by your greatness, they may try to bring you down.  Don’t listen to those people.  If you want something…don’t let anyone or anything stop you.  This is your dream.  Not theirs.  Go get it.  Start now.

Harold and Maude:  “A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They’re just backing away from life. Reach out. Take achance. Get hurt even. But play as well as you can. Go team, go! Give me an L. Give me an I. Give me a V. Give me an E. L-I-V-E. LIVE! Otherwise, you got nothing to talk about in the locker room.”

Lesson:  Wake up and live!  Don’t be afraid to succeed.  You may get hurt.  You may fail.  It doesn’t matter.  Hurt and failure is way better than never trying.

Hitch:  “Life is not the amount of breaths you take. It’s the moments that take your breath away.”

Lesson:  Don’t play safe.

Almost Famous:  “It’s all happening!”

Lesson:  Open your eyes.  It’s all happening right now in this very moment.
