I get very inspired by movies that have positive and uplifting messages. I feel as though they change me for the better. I watch them and somehow, a part of me recognizes and absorbs the wisdom on which the movie is created.

One of my all time favorites is Jerry Maquire. Why? In 90% of the movie, all you get exposed to is his failure after failure while he is pursuing something he believes in. It’s only in the last 10% of the movie, when he succeeds and finds the love in his life, that makes the entire movie complete and a success. I feel this is very true in life in that the sweetness and satisfaction of the win is in proportion to the struggle to get there.

Watch it again and see if it still moves you.

However, my major take away lesson from this movie is this – Success is not just about achieving your goal or making the money. Its about getting the “Quan”. What is the “Quan”? Watch this clip to find out:
