This video is about a movie being made from a movement. There's some interesting footage of people in action at a grass roots level. I have long wanted to be the kind of person who makes a difference but it seems I was always getting in my own way.
I didn't always know that's what I was doing but as I look back on the past with the knowledge and experience I have now, I know..."It was all me, every bit of it me."
I proclaim that 2010 is going to be an exception to the rule. If there's a shift going on (and I do believe there is) I want to be a part of it.
I have three goodies for you and each one will contribute to galvanizing your mind and preparing you get out of your own way and take action on your dreams and desires:
1) a free hypnosis MP3 titled Create the Life You Want at my iCreateHabits.com blog
2. Songs to Galvanize Your Mind list available here.
3. The Sheri and Erin Show on Blog Talk Radio.
Each of these goodies will give your mind what it needs to live free from fear so you can take part in 'The Shift' if you're ready.
We applaud and award success but sometimes forget or try to hide the failures along the way. The truth is, behind every great success story there is a string of stories about failure. If you can learn to live in a state of openness to both, the success will come.
Below Barbara Walters interviews Harrison Ford about his movie career and how he was rejected for the role of Hans Solo. "George (Lucas) wanted new faces and apparently I was an old face, even then", he said. Apparently, Harrison Ford was also not the first choice for Indiana Jones either.

If you like a story about going against the odds and fighting for justice, you might enjoy William Kunstler: Disturbing the Universe. The film opened today at the Nu Art in Los Angeles. Gary Goldstein of the LA Times calls it a "superior documentary" with "terrific archival footage from a range of seminal civil rights events."
Filmmakers Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kuntsler explore the life of their father, the late radical civil rights lawyer. In the 1960s and 70s, William Kuntsler fought for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr. and represented the famed "Chicago 8" activists who protested the Vietnam War. When the inmates took over Attica prison, or when the American Indian Movement stood up to the federal government at Wounded Knee, they asked Kunstler to be their lawyer.
To his daughters, it seemed that he was at the center of everything important that had ever happened. But when they were growing up, Kunstler represented some of the most reviled members of society, including rapists and assassins. This powerful film not only recounts the historic causes that Kunstler fought for; it also reveals a man that even his own daughters did not always understand, a man who risked public outrage and the safety of his family so that justice could serve all.

Michael Zampelli takes photos of the Los Angeles Kings when they play at Staples Center. He also takes photos of the L.A. Derby Dolls from time to time. Today he called into The Sheri and Erin show to help them iron out any kinks in their first test episode.

Juliette Lewis talks on the Ellen DeGeneres Show about her "roller derby bad ass" role in the movie Whip It starring Ellen Page and directed by Drew Barrymore. Whip It is an inspiring movie about being your own hero and finding your own tribe.
Opened in theaters on October 2. For more information about Whip It, click here.
Ellen Page and Alia Shawkat take time for a behind the scenes interview about Drew Barrymore's "Whip It" at the Toronto International Film Festival. This interview captures the spirit of roller derby which includes team spirit, feminism, fun, diversity and a DIY culture.
Page talks about how much she loved the "Whip It" script and working with director, Drew Barrymore. She especially likes how the movie sends a positive message for young women to accept themselves as they are.
"We have a constant saturation in the media, especially with stories about women that involve a lot of judgment and a lot of nastiness" Page said.
"Here's an atmosphere where women...can be really aggressive and that's okay...but also have this sense of camaraderie, you know; beat the crap out of each other and then go have beers afterwards, and laugh about it and to really be there for each other and to have a world that's just judgementless. And that's pretty nice."
I agree, that is pretty nice. That's why it's worth it to go see this movie and take a young woman that you care about.
Opens in theaters on October 2. For more information about Whip It, click here.
The upcoming Roller Derby movie "Whip It" isn't just about girls hurting each other and looking sexy.
