6yes_man-dvdHave you watched some of the movies that Daily Challenge member, Emmanuel Lopez-Motivatorman, has suggested in his guest post series? We have and we thank him for directing us to these stimulating reminders of how powerful giving can be.

Here are the final 3 films from my list of 15 movies to inspire you to be a more thoughtful, altruistic person:

13) The Shawshank Redemption 1994

There is a scene in this film where Tim Robbins’s character makes a deal with a prison guard that surprises his fellow inmates. While tarring a roof on a hot day he helps the prison guard with his financial advice in return for just a few cold beers for his work crew. While his crew drinks happily we see Robbins’s character just smiling blissfully.

14) The Ultimate Gift 2006

This movie is chock full of motivational messages about an irresponsible, spoiled young man who must accomplish a series of video taped tasks in order to receive his inheritance. With each task, he learns the true nature of being a thoughtful, altruistic human being.

15) Yes Man 2008

This movie stars Jim Carrey and is based on a true story where a man spent a whole year saying yes to everything. The lesson Carrey learns is that by acknowledging and giving whatever he has to total strangers, great abundance comes back to him in unexpected ways.

I hope you enjoyed reading this list of 15 movies that can motivate you to be a better person. Watching your favourite movies over and over again is a great way to build a more generous and thoughtful mindset.

And the rewards for giving to others can transform your soul and enrich your spirit! In the end you’ll feel good for taking the time to make others feel good!

    I randomly browse blogs on the web, and I discover your article to be very informational. I’ve already bookmark it on my browser, so that I can view your weblog submit once more later. Additionally, I am questioning whether or not your weblog is open for link alternate, as I really want to alternate links with you. I don’t normally do that, but I hope that we can have a mutual link exchange. Let me know and have a fantastic day!
