The optimist insists that we live in the best of worlds, the pessimist fears that he is right.

Peaceful Warrior
What a wonderful movie. Not only does it get you thinking about your own personal life and the choices we made to get where we are today. But it uplifts the things that matters in life. Nick Nolte plays the strange character Socrates how teaches Dan Millman(Scott Mechlowicze, a new star is born I believe) what’s important in life, live for the moment not the destination. Dan is an A-class student how has everything, the girls, money and of course his dreams. But when he meets Socrate everything changes. Dan had his dream set on win the Olympics in gymnastics. The destination was set but he forgot the journey how to get there. There are many memorable quotes in this movie like:
“Everything has a purpose, even this, and it's up to you to find it.”
“A warrior does not give up what he loves, he finds the love in what he does”
“I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside”
“This moment is the only thing that matters.”
“The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.”
“The ones who are hardest to love are usually the ones who need it the most.”
“A warrior is not about perfection or victory or invulnerability. He's about absolute vulnerability.”
“There is no starting or stopping - only doing.”
“Where are you? - Here. What time is it? - Now. What are you? -This moment.”
It seriously got my thinking of what I have become and that there are no ordinary moments in life. I give this movie 8/10 and it’s worth your time. Two hours well spend I’d say. I lost a best friend a while back and that person reminded me of Dans character in this movie. I wish there were more I could do but there aren’t. We sometimes during our time start a war on the inside, lucky me I’ve already won mine and know who I am. I always sad you can do whatever you want and only the mind controls you and some have boundrays what’s possible and what’s not. I'm a fighter, What tells you the resualt may come out the same if you try again and again and again? This movie delivers where it should, straight to your heart. In this day of the much necessary age of awareness I HIGHLY recommend anyone who wants to be better and even be the best they can be to go and watch this film..
Name: Andreas Home: Skåne, Sweden About Me: Andreas Zetterqvist, 26 years old, hetrosexual. Three passions are present in my life: music, writing and my gf. Music represents the essence of my being, writing represent the expression of my soul, my gf keeps me sane. Laughter keeps my heart light and intact. Thinking keeps my juices flowing. Friends mean the world to me. But trust is something I give to selected few. No one has 100% of my trust. Very few have something close to it. I don't look like a supermodel.
And I'm fine with that now at this time of my life because
in my own way, I have a beauty that surpasses all these so-called beautiful people. And I'm not being cocky, just showing some much needed confidence. I have a major in network technology, but confined my future with sales. I'm a poet for a few years. I like to think I'm a lot of different things. But for sure I'm a good boy with class, who's a sweetheart and down to earth. But God bless you if you mess with me because I'm a force
to be reckoned with. I think birthdays and holidays are special and I think writing is the best way of therapy. I'm honest because I've spent too many years hiding. So if you want to get to know me better, just ask. Or read on. Visitors: See my complete profile
There are many races in life but in the end the only race is with yourself. Everyone's choice begins with a dream, because with dreams everything is possible.
