Here is another in a string of new theatrical releases I've found to be extremely motivating. The latest is called Source Code and is a thought-provoking story addressing my passion for alternate reality concepts and exploring quantum realities. It also has a powerful, repetitive message that says: Everything is going to be okay.
Source Code 2011
The movie Source Code is about US soldier Capt. Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) who wakes up in the body of another man riding a commuter train. After it explodes Stevens discovers that it is his mission to keep repeating the train ride until he uncovers the bomb and the bomber.
This film is a cross between Groundhog Day and Inception which are among my favourite movies. They can both entertain AND get your mind percolating on new ways of viewing life and alternate realities. They can also help you see the repetitive situations you keep experiencing in a whole new light.
What unfolds in Source Code are intriguing questions like "What would you do if you had one minute to live?" or if you knew you could change your life for the better would you take action to do it? This movie speaks so much of my mindset to always remember that it IS POSSIBLE to change the negative circumstances of whatever I face.
"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily."

I truly believe that repetition of positive thinking, words and affirmations are key to keeping you motivated. The posts of this blog may seem repetitive to some readers and yet, for someone feeling stuck, may find a golden nugget to lift them up and put a smile on their face again. Imagine someone feeling down and seeing the title of this blog post: Everything is going to be okay.

You are so on, Emmanuel.
ReplyDeleteExquisite movie with exquisite themes.
Loved the forgiveness "feel" with the Dad storyline.. everyone will be able to relate in some capacity..
Loved the surprising ending, was moved by the characters' ability to love.. beautiful movie, beautiful review.
Thank you for this message. Coincidentally, I saw the movie Sourcecode last nite and truly enjoyed it!

I saw this Emmanuel and was pleasantly surprised. Ironically Groundhog Day came to mind too.
ReplyDeleteYou have a real talent at seeing things about a movie that most don't see.
Thanks as always for your insight.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this quote ... and your brilliant use of it to show that our seemingly innocuous actions - bathing, affirming, how about smiling - can provide positive even life-changing results.
Thank you, Emmanuel.
