Inspiring!

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2006)

Its been almost 25 years since I saw Chariots of Fire, and it is as inspiring to me today as it was then. In 1981 I was training to run a half marathon, and the film and music certainly helped me reach my goal. The film, however, went beyond helping me train for the half marathon. It did something more important. In Eric Liddell's speech/sermon after one of his races, he says "where does the power come from to see the race to its end - from within." In 1981 I was going through a difficult time at work. These words inspired me to see the problem through, and I am a stronger person for it. I still remember these words when faced with challenges today. This movie has had more impact on me than any other.
