Right now, I'm going through my movies and am systematically watching them. Last night, a movie I started watching always puts a lump in my throat and many times I actually just start bawling. For those of you who know me well, I rarely cry so for a movie to have that affect on me is quite rare. Anyway, this movie always has that affect on me. One of my favorite quotes in the movie is when Rudy is talking to the priest wondering why he hasn't been admitted into Notre Dame yet and the priest says: "Son, in 35 years of religious studies, I have come up with two hard facts--there is a God and I'm not Him!" As I watch this movie, I am overcome with how determined this man is to realize his dreams and I think about dreams I have had that have not yet been realized and think about the sacrifices I must make in order for these dreams to come into fruition. I'm the type of person who is normally able to accomplish my goals. Lately, though, I have run into obstacles that I didn't expect for some of my dreams and this movie always has the same effect on me--keep working, Holly, you will get what you want if you press on and do not quit. I think I watch this movie at least once a year as it really makes an impact. Anyway, for those of you who have not yet seen this movie, I would highly suggest it as it is motivational if nothing else.
