Your Life, Your Movie | Life Lessons From The Movies

A Scene From The Movie ‘SAY ANYTHING’:

The consummate underachiever, Lloyd Dobler falls in love with the class valedictorian the summer before she goes off to college. He tries to convince her disapproving father he is a worthy suitor.

Lloyd: I am looking for a ‘dare to be great’ situation.

A Thought For Your Life:

It’s easy to think that a ‘dare to be great’ situation has to be big. But looking for the ‘big’ thing can cause us to wait. Then, when situations present themselves we get stumped, “Is this where I need to step up and be great?”

The truth is, every situation, no matter how mundane or insignificant seeming, has the potential to be a ‘dare to be great’ situation. We just need to decide if we want it to be so and if we’re willing to make the effort on a small scale, as well as the large scale.
