Everyone Has The Potential

I went to see the screening of "Freedom Writers" tonight.....great movie! It was very well done and definitely had an impacting storyline....the character development was amazing! :) (Ok there's my plug for a great movie)

So....where am I going with this ~ you know I have to be going somewhere! LOL!!! The movie really tugged at my mind and my heart strings ~ got me thinking (surprise, surprise). The message was so clear, one that I firmly believe in and strive to live by.....the gift of believing in someone can make all the difference in their life! We all want to be "somebody" to feel like we matter in this world, to belong and to feel valued. But there are times when many of us struggle to feel as if we do and when somebody believes in us it can give us strength to put one foot in front of the other and face our journey ~ whatever lays ahead for us.

When I reflect on this movie two words come to mind ~ hope and faith. Hope is believing that something is out there......faith is knowing that we can make it possible. We all have the potential within us to achieve our goals and dreams.....to be the person we want to be...... A message spoken by a Holocaust survivor in the movie "Freedom Writers" that demonstrates that belief is ~ we all have the potential to turn a dark room light!

So my friends....believe in yourself....believe in others.....and have the hope and faith you need to experience your journey fully ~ turn many dark rooms light!
