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.

A wizard, as my early mentor, Elaine told me, is anyone who declares themselves as such. You’re a Wizard if you say you are.

So, what’s a wizard, and how can we all be wizards? And how can we avoid being wusses?

When we recognize that there is far more power available to us from within, we become wizardly. Just the recognition of that fact can open vast new doorways to new worlds that we can explore and profit from, mentally and materially.

More on that in a moment.

A wuss, a made up word by some kids years ago, means basically a cowardly person.

But being fearful is not being cowardly. Failure to act for periods of time, that might be defined as cowardice. You may have seen my acronym for F.E.A.R. – First Evaluate According to Risk.

The challenge for some people is their endless evaluation with no action at the end. Power comes with activation. Failure may be a by-product, but it’s also a learning device.

Zig Ziglar, the famous motivational sales trainer once said, “The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it’s conformity.”

Conformity is a failure to take bold action. Not foolish, but bold. It’s also true when we conform to the mindset that is directed by the media and other generally recognized authority figures. Those power sources whom we’ve come to rely upon. Oftentimes, who, if we consider this in depth, are telling us what and how to think.

Those who wish to rise above their current station in life cannot, must not, be average. To escape this trap of majority, action will be the key. Considered action.

NOTE: Be sure to see our free coaching offer below.

Your Inner Wizard, once you begin tapping into that, will certainly help in your guidance. Through this process you can find and define the right action to take. The path to your intentions may not be a straight one, but it can certainly be the right one. Read the rest of this entry »
