A Recommended List of 4 Inspiring Movies to Watch

If you're on the hunt for a few movie recommendations, I highly suggest you check out the following movies. Based on historical events and people, all of these movies will leave you feeling inspired, and are guaranteed to tug on your heart strings. ;)

The Theory of Everything: Based on the story of physicist Stephen Hawking and his journey with his diagnosis of ALS. Eddie Redmayne beautifully portrays Hawking's story as a true example that there are no limitations to what you can do in life.

The Imitation Game: Based during World War II, this movie follows mathematician Alan Turing and his team as they work rigorously to crack the German enigma code for the British government. This movie is historically captivating and is beautifully portrayed by an incredible cast; including, Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.

The Danish Girl: Inspired by the true events, The Danish Girl tells the story of Danish painters, Greda and Einar Wegener, and their turbulent lives after Einar discovers his affinity for feminine attire. Ultimately, Einar with Greda's support, becomes the first man to undergo a sex-change operation in 1931. Another incredible performance by Eddie Redmayne in this heart-wrenching film.


The King's Speech: Featuring Colin Firth as King George VI, this movie follows the king as he tirelessly works with a therapist to overcome his speech impediment for the live radio broadcast to the English people during World War II. The King's Speech is truly an inspiring film.


It is important to note that the real-life people portrayed in these films have faced seemingly impossible struggles that set them apart from society, but through perseverance and support they were able to find strength within themselves and continue to be an inspiration to others today.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day.
