Explore the magic of being in a place like Scotland-with cinema
There are so many ways to feel inspired. You can watch Ted Talks, turn to Eminem’s raps, and even scroll through those Instagram quotes that seem to make everything better (And, let’s be honest, all of us have done this at least once!) But how long will that last? I mean, even Eminem’s song will end after 3 minutes. What after that?
So, for the days when you just need that extra dose of motivation, that extra-something which inspires you to keep walking, you have movies! I mean, at least, you’ll have more to look forward to than just a quote!
Even though a movie will end after 1.5 hours (or, longer if it’s a Bollywood movie), it will give you that fuzzy warm feeling which will get you all motivated and last for days (if you REALLY liked the movie!)
And, there’s something about watching an inspirational movie that motivates you to do things you always wanted to do! From acing that report to walking the extra mile, we literally form a connection with them!
On days, when you need to crank up your motivation, here are a few movies you can watch!

2. Good Will Hunting
All of us need a little direction in life and sometimes we get it from places and people we least expect it from.
