Click (2006)
I really thought I posted about this movie a while back. Turns out I didn’t. This is more of a Hollywood type inspirational movie, but it’s a great one.
It’s a movie that you can watch again and again. It contains humor and also a very important life lesson: Don’t fast forward your life!
It seems that in today’s world everyone is just desperately waiting for something for them to truly start living their life. Either waiting for the weekend to come so that they can relax a little bit, or for the next vacation, the next promotion, the next… something!
People are constantly putting their life on hold… or.. trying to fast-forward through most of it to get to the ‘good part’… Why not create a life in which you can have the ‘good part’ all the time? Why not enjoy everything in your life to the fullest while you’re having it?
Things will never be the same, so start living life all the way, not just in little bits…
Ashton Kutcher Inspirational Speech
A great short inspirational speech by Ashton Kutcher at the teen choice awards. I especially liked the thing he said “Build a life, don’t just live one”.
Check it out and let me know what you think,

Brown eyes and blue eyes Racism experiment
Here is an interesting video I saw lately. It’s about a racism experiment conducted with children. The reason why I think it’s an inspirational video is because of the way the effect the experiment had on the children.
But first I’d like you to notice how the teacher uses pseudo-logic to rationalize why blue (and later brown) eyed people are better than the other. This kind of fault logic is what’s going on every day with people – when people focus on the mistakes someone makes and the categorizes them into being ‘inferior’.
However this doesn’t just happen with strangers. It happens to ourselves as well. We make faulty logic of ourselves based on our mistakes.
Now what I really want you to notice is how the feeling of them being intelligent, just the simple fact of having a belief of themselves being more intelligent made them do that test or game they were doing in a better way, and in a faster way. Just notice how much impact a simple belief – even if it’s in the context of a game – can have over their performance.
So I want you to think right now, in what way are you stopping yourself from succeeding by not having the right belief in yourself?
Something to think about,

The BIG Secret Nobody Wants To Tell
A talk by Bruce Muzik – The BIG Secret Nobody Wants To Tell. Very interesting insight about the hidden lies we all tell ourselves and to others and how it can deteriorate our relationships and our life.
It’s A Wonderful Life (1946)
I’ve started looking in some older inspirational movies. This black & white movie really is a gem. You should check it out. An angel helps a compassionate but despairingly frustrated businessman by showing what life would have been like if he never existed.
Here is the trailer:
You could find it to rent it if you search for it, but I have also found it posted on YouTube.
Check it out (the full movie):
