Peaceful Warrior

This weekend I watched The Last King of Scotland which was a cool movie but I want to mention another one. Peaceful Warrior. What did I like so much on it? Again, it was about strong personalities, overcoming obstacles, life priorities, relations - simply movie I like. To me, added value also is this movie is based on real events, real person - Dan Millman, former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. Besides other I found "Dream small" post on Dan´s blog that I fully agree with. Well, I know and believe anybody can do and reach anything s/he wants to. On the other hand I have a feeling we (I) are just too much pushed by others to reach high without knowing who we (I) are and who we (I) want to be - I really mean we or I not my familly, friends, society and its trends.
