Saturday was to be a busy day. I had work to do on a couple of projects. So naturally I went to a movie instead. But not just any movie, one that you may thank me for recommending to you.

If you’ve subscribed to my list for long you know that I respect when that “Intuitive Click” clicks. It’s not always generated by some urgent or pressing situation. Sometimes it’s just a gentle nudge that directs our attention to something “better.”

I saw an online trailer for a film, “The Blind Side,” starring Sandra Bullock. Instantly I knew I wanted to see it. I’m not a big sports fan and this looked like a football movie. Believe me, it’s not, though the sport is central to an amazing outcome.

Anytime Hollywood makes a story they call “true,” I know how unlikely that is. Truth is usually bastardized versions of of some kernel of an event that really occurred.

But, true or not, I went. I am so glad I did.

Bullock stars as real-life Leigh Anne Tuohy, a wealthy white, politically conservative woman in Memphis. Though brought up by a racist father in the deep south, Tuohy became known for her philanthropy that was colorless in race conscious Memphis.

Michael Oher was hardly raised so much as he was allowed to exist in the ghettos of West Memphis. His haunted memories of being forcibly removed from his crackhead mother’s apartment to a series of foster homes followed him until he could will them into repression.

At 16, 6’4” tall and weighting well in excess of 300 pounds was an almost unbelievable sight to behold.

“The Blind Side” is how Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy eventually found this homeless young man and how under near miraculous circumstances, raised him and nursed him into an incredible success story.

Tim McGraw plays her wealthy and understanding husband, Sean, with a good-natured self-confidence, who along with their two decent children, seem to live the idyllic life in an upscale Memphis.

After exiting the theater with a tear-stained crowd, I read a lengthy excerpt of the book, “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game,” by Michael Lewis. But I would caution you to avoid reading this until after you see the movie.

The film seems to be true to Lewis’ documented facts, but narrowed to fit in the focused story necessary for any two-hour film.

In reading interviews with Sandra Bullock, who I think gives a terrific performance here, and other Goggles about Leigh Anne, I’m led to believe she’s authentically portrayed, which makes her a true force of nature and the story all the more compelling.

In the Lewis book he describes Michael, wonderfully portrayed by newcomer Quinton Aaron, this way, “. . .his life experience was so narrow that he might as well have spent his first 16 years inside a closet.”

Why I’m Recommending This Film To You

To discover the true life results for Michael, beyond all odds from this film and the book are thought provoking and a powerful testimony to the ability of the human being.

More than that, “The Blind Side” is about the power of the human spirit, the potential of decency, and the ability that we have all been given to effect and shift change to conditions thought by others to be unimaginable.

I’ve long been a student of not just human potential but human nature. The latter is not, in my opinion, set but optional to conscious humans at any point in their lives.

Free will is the optimal phrase here. The ability to shift one’s destiny.

The track we are on is leading us to a place certain unless we change it for the good or for the worse.

We may not see the cliff before we run off of it, but sense it. We might not know that the “City Of Gold” is just over the hill on a different path, but something tells us to change direction just in time.

The inspiration of true life stories like Michael Oher’s and Leigh Anne Tuohy’s and so many others are the excuse killers for those who find excuses not to progress beyond their circumstances.

To find inspiration is like finding gold, to be inspiring is like creating gold. I think this film will provide you with both. You’ll likely be inspired to create some of your own inspiration, if nothing else, just by recommending this film!

But forget any messages here, just see this film and love the potential there is for kindness and great inspiration that exists in this world.

When is it too late?

A member of my list wrote to me saying that, at 59, didn’t feel that he’d ever had any real financial success. He wanted to buy his wife new clothes, give more to his children etc. He wondered if it was too late?

59 is not to late. It’s never too late until we have no more ability to inhale.

Harland Sanders, while living off of Social Security, started Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 65.

What you do have to begin looking for are those patterns in your life that both serve and undermine you.

For example, I had one client who wanted far more than her menial job could ever give her. She read books, went to seminars, etc. But, her pattern included coming home at 6, fixing TV dinners and then plopping down in front of the tube for the rest of the evening.

She never took meaningful action beyond the “feel good” level.

She shifted slowly. She began watching TV an hour later, then had at least one action item per day that she could do to help her improve. Then she paired her watching down to just 2 hours a day, etc.

She worked on other patterns, established new ones, then began seeing remarkable events. It didn’t happen overnight but our lives as we know them today didn’t happen overnight either.

At the age of 52 she began seeing the successes she’d been hoping for.

Another client, a major entertainment celebrity wondered the same thing! Was he too late in making the “right choices.” Good news, it wasn’t too late. It is never too late!

A conscious purposeful action plan can speed up anyone’s life toward more of what they want far faster than it took to get into the positions they find themselves in now.

When finances are tough and there doesn’t seem to be enough time, there is always time to look for the solution. What other option is there if you’re not willing to accept your present situation?

I wish you all the best in your search and I can visualize your future celebration of achievements!

How do others get unstuck? Some of the most successful people I know have been some of the most “stuck” people I’ve ever known.

The difference is that as a part of their success patterns they have a system to get unstuck. They expect it to come.

Life’s difficulties are often described with various forms of being “in hell,” or “going through hell,” etc. How many times have you described a portion of your life in that way?

Hell, is ultimate punishment in a variety of religions. It’s damnation and eternal. Our own personal hell on earth may be financial, health, war, or even a horrific job. It’s certainly subjective and it needn’t last

Like you, I’m sure we can look back on those times in our life when we might have described our situations in that way. I don’t know about you, but there have been many of them for me.

All were ultimately learning experiences. In retrospect, some are now funny, but not most of them.

In almost every one of them I was guided by someone, whether formally or by a fortunate turn of events. Almost every effective guide, coach, mentor, or trainer in my life made what they did seem almost effortless.

When those roles were a part of my work with others, it may have seemed the same to them too. When you’re tuned in, it is.

One of the most powerful compliments I’ve had in my coaching career was from a very prominent individual who said, “You were my guide of out hell.”

This was someone who would have appeared to be leading a charmed life, yet had challenges, both personally and circumstantial that the National Enquirer would have paid a fortune to know about. Fortunately it never went public, and life again became more normal for this person.

As I reviewed my work in this situation, I remember thinking how amazing it was to feel a combination of high concern, yet such an effortless flow between us. It’s truly a natural high in every respect.

While I don’t do as much business, spiritual, or intuitive coaching as I used to, I realize how much I miss it at times like that.

So, I’d like to offer a free coaching session to one of my readers. All you have to do to be considered is fill out a brief survey form. I’ll choose one for a live session. While others will be invited to listen in, the person chosen will be anonymous with no obligations except to show up.

You can apply by clicking or pasting the email link below. If you only want to listen in, you’ll be invited to do that too. Watch for a follow-up email.

In the email subject line, please put “Apply.” You’ll immediately receive your instructions for the brief application.

Disappointment often arrives on the back of an expectation. “The Men Who Stare At Goats” didn’t meet any expectation that I had, except one. It was a farce.

As you may know from my interview with Col. John Alexander, the man supposedly portrayed by George Clooney, alerted us to the fact that while the book of the same name and the movie are based on some factual situations, that was pretty much the stop point for any further reality.

While I didn’t expect much in the way of facts, and there were precious few, or more like, a precious one, I expected humor. Unfortunately most of the laughs contained in the movie had already been viewed in the trailers.

The truth about the research and activation of numerous mental powers that the military conducted is stranger than fiction. And that’s only what’s been declassified. There is so much more.

It would be a real waste if the uninitiated in this area wrote off their interest in this subject without looking deeper into it.

The movie is intended as a farce and it’s truly farcical, but not in the way you’d want to spend your money on.

Every organization has plenty to laugh at, and the military is no exception. From the crazy comedies of the ‘50s to MASH and beyond, it’s an orchard of ripe humor.

That said, and during these times, I feel we need to acknowledge the work ethic and bravery of the men and women who truly do serve their fellow citizens. Thumbs up to them. In fact, when you see a man or woman in uniform, don’t feel embarrassed to tell them that their service is appreciated. I always do. I always fee better after.

If you have any curiosity about the film then wait until it comes out on DVD. Then get it only from one of those $1.00 Redbox things, because to spend more than a dollar would also be a farce.

Be an open-minded skeptic and learn to listen to your intuition.

If you’ve been on my list for any amount of time, you’ve seen those phrases before.

I’m not a health care professional, nor am I qualified to make a judgment or even a suggestion about what you should or shouldn’t do with your health.

But the CBS News report below, concerned the hell out of me. Before you read the rest of this, please watch for the few minutes it will take to possibly open your mind to your health options concerning the H1N1 Flu scare.

Nobody’s selling anything here, but we all need to balance this hysteria with other research and decide for ourselves what’s best for us and share what we discover with others.

Watch CBS News Videos Online

I’m deeply concerned about any media or political hysteria. I kept feeling that what’s being reported isn’t what it appears to be.

As I was considering whether to write this I found a front page article in my local paper today that said that only 44% of all health care workers in the US would willingly get the H1N1 Vaccine. What do they know we don’t?

The CBS News reporter kept getting stonewalled from the CDC (Center For Disease Control) and I don’t know why. The more I read about the pharmaceutical company’s promotional efforts, the lemming like media (except, in this case, CBS) reporting from industry and government press releases, the more concerned I became.

I’m not venturing into conspiracy theories or things I don’t have proof for. But consider that that there have been plenty of FDA approved drugs that have been taken off the market due to the dangers they impose upon patients taking them, one has to look behind the scenes at this industry.

The vaccines they are giving to pregnant women and children are new or new versions. Their proponents say the “platform” has been tested. Yet, in an interview with Dr. Joseph Mercola, MD, Dr. Russell Blalock, MD, a medical researcher has some startling news and statistics.

I strongly urge you to view that page. Click Here.

Dr. Mercola also has a page devoted to other research on vaccines and the H1N! “pandemic.”  See http://swineflu.mercola.com

As I said, I’m not trained or schooled to give medical or health advice to you, and I’m not. But in all things that deeply concern us, we have the capabilities to do our own research like never before.

Let’s at least be open-minded skeptics on any issues that effect our well being.
