The Rarest Thing in the World

I just read a quote and I’ve been wrapping my mind around it for the last few hours.

The rarest thing in the world is someone who does what they said would do.

Two Missed Free Throws

I just came across this story and I had to post it! Who knew the good that could come from missing two free throws? This has movie script written all over it!

Here’s the link. Let me know what you think.

It All Began with a Mouse

I just visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida and one quote that I heard there from Walt Disney (the person, not the company, though sometimes it may be hard to tell the difference) has been running through my head.

I hope we never lose sight of one thing. It all began with a mouse.

The Difference Between Winning and Losing

I once heard a great basketball coach speaking in front of a few thousand people and he asked a question that I’ll never forget.

The huge room was silent – nobody wanted to miss a word. And then he asked, “What’s the difference between a win and a loss?”

After a moment of silence people started shouting out answers.

The coach responded to each answer as he heard them.

Fairview Street

I just had the pleasure of meeting Shane Hagedorn[link], producer of Fairview Street. Fairview Street is a mid-Michigan produced drama that is playing at Celebration Cinema in Lansing, MI. There are 4 showings coming up at 2 pm and 7 pm on both February 15 and 16.

I have seen Fairview Street and also Shane’s first film, The Model Father. I have to say I am impressed. One of the most striking things I noticed about Shane is that he is incredibly grounded in who he is and what he wants to do. He has stories to tell, and he wants to tell them in a way that makes sure he remains true to the characters, but also to himself. He is going to be around for a while, and I am going to support him in his endeavors as he makes more films.

Know Your Outcome

I think inspiration is one of those things in life that you can never have enough of, and this video is one of the most inspiring stories I have ever heard.

After I saw this video, I bookmarked it so I could watch it whenever I needed a lift. Stories like this are what people need when there is so much negative information surrounding us.
