What films inspired you to success? Write in the comments!
A good movie accumulates feelings, elevating them to the highest degree. If we watch an action movie, there is a surge of adrenaline, but in the case of melodrama, on the contrary, we relax and indulge in dreams of love. But there are films that become a saving pill from melancholy and powerlessness. They draw our attention to something that needs to be changed in ourselves. If you have lost motivation and your soul is heavy, look at one of these paintings from the list best motivational films. Or you can do everything at once. It can't get any worse. Only better.
Health and Wellness
If your health is not good and physical fitness leaves much to be desired, we need to get down to business. But gathering strength is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

Career
Not every one of us strives to get to the top of Olympus. The desire to make a career depends on your ambitions and the hierarchical instinct that is inherent in a person from birth. In some it is weakly expressed, in others it is stronger. Someone strives to lead, someone to obey, someone is between two fires: “servant to the king, father to the soldiers.” But each of us works somewhere, communicates with colleagues, receives or does not receive promotions and social rewards. It doesn’t matter what you want from life, but if you find yourself in a situation where you don’t have the strength to fight for your place in the sun, watch these films.
