Tip#1104: Passion & Perseverance, Part 12 – The Untouchables

PASSION: A very powerful feeling about something such as love, hate, anger, or other emotion; A strong belief in something; Boundless enthusiasm

PERSEVERANCE: Steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state especially in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement

No matter what mood I’m in, especially when dealing with clinical depression symptoms, I am still passionate about creating content for motivational movie tips and foodie photos to inspire others on my social media channels. It’s like a joyful built in inner drive method for enjoying life whenever I feel lost, stuck or alone!

I’ve been wanting to reach more people around the world who could benefit from my content and personal experiences but haven’t reached my goals yet. No matter what I still persevere despite whatever blocks a keep hitting. On a beautiful sunny Saturday recently I was feeling stuck on the next step in my motivational work and sat in silence in a coffee shop with my iPhone in hand.

I then felt the urge to review my photos to post on my Film Food Friends Project page on Instagram. I started writing the motivational text for the posts with related hashtag words so others could find the post and was fully aware how much I loved doing all this. I could feel my passion for what I was doing and realized I just have to keep persevering with what I love doing! See: My Instagram

The Untouchables (1987)

The drama film, The Untouchables, is about Eliot Ness (Costner) forming the Untouchables team to bring crime kingpin Al Capone (De Niro) to justice during Prohibition in 1930. With an outstanding music soundtrack, this highly stylish and beautifully photographed movie has many memorable, iconic scenes and engaging performances by De Niro, Costner, Sean Connery, Charles Martin Smith, Andy Garcia and Billy Drago. See: movie trailer

I remember seeing this film when it first came out in 1987 and immediately loved it. I was already a big fan of director Brian De Palma and loved every carefully choreographed scene especially the famous stairway shootout in Union Station. The music by Ennio Morricone was also so memorable for every scene kicking off with the cool opening titles!

When I recently watched the movie for the first time in decades I was struck by the passion of Eliot Ness and his team. I could recognize they each had a strong belief and boundless enthusiasm for their work. This was their passion that helped form strong leadership and teamwork and drove them to persevere whenever they got stuck or hit roadblocks. And though some don’t make it to the end they still accomplished their goal and helped make history.
