I love movies. Not just any movie but movies that entertain me, spark a change in me and most of all inspire me. There are several ones that are my all time favourites like Shawshank Redemption, 1995 classic Usual Suspects, it's a Wonderful Life and my all time favourite The Sound of Music.

I recently purchased re-mastered version of this movie with enhanced colour and audio (which I highly recommend to get). Every time I watch this musical, it just lifts my spirit. The songs, bubbly character of Maria, and the beautiful Austrian landscape is just amazing.

When I am feeling down or discouraged, I just put this movie and watch some of the entire movie. It's almost miraculous how quickly I forget about my little worries and start humming and enjoying the songs. It's like there is so much to be thankful for, little grievances or disappointments don't matter.

I think the 'right' movies have this amazing power to move us and inspire us. When you relate to a movie or a character or a situation, doesn't it cause you to look inside of you? Its almost an inside-out experience.

I draw strength, purpose and passion from my favourite movies and live every day with energy, excitement and enthusiasm, no matter what! To me, that's what life is all about...
