Movie Montage Motivation

There are days when we all feel like we are making big sacrifices for our dreams, but they still don't seem to be getting any closer to reality.
Days when you work two jobs, and have to ride the bus, and you get Chinese food for dinner, and you overdraft your bank account, and it's only, you've got to be kidding me, monday.
And you just want to give up.

I had a day like that day. {that second sentence may be a bit autobiographical}
And I did want to give up.
But as I was sitting in the bath trying to soak my feet and sweat out the m.s.g I remembered a little piece of advice I once gave my sister when she was in summer school.

This is the movie montage part of life!

Sometimes in life you're going to be Elle Woods studying for the LSat.
or Baby doing lifts with Patrick Swayze at dance practice.

But we all know what happens for them in the end. They make it happen. And if you can just remember that, and see yourself working in 30 second clips with a motivational song played over it you can get through to the climactic victory scene too.

and incase you are going through a time like this yourself
here is a little extra motivation.


*apologies to all the feminists out there on the hypermasculinity in this
