Do You Follow Your Dreams? | Eddie the Eagle

Remember when you were little and your brain bubbled over with big aspirations?  The world of possibilities was limitless! Sometimes as adults, I think we need to be reminded of our dreams and that with hard work and perseverance, we can make many of them come true.  That’s why I love watching triumphant movies like EDDIE THE EAGLE, they are a wonderful reminder that anything is possible when you believe in yourself!

Thanks to the inspiring folks at 20th Century Fox, we’re sharing a special preview of EDDIE THE EAGLE (in theaters February 26) along with information and photos from the film.  And next week, we’ll have a fun giveaway opportunity for you, too.

Inspired by true events, EDDIE THE EAGLE is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards, an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself and was loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.  It’s the type of movie that makes you want to stand up and cheer with its contagious enthusiasm, but also the kind of movie that helps remind you that often, dreams do come true, even for the underdog!

This is a great time of year for us to have this refreshing reminder as our New Year resolutions may be waning a bit… (I know mine have been on and off!)  Take the family for a viewing and you’ll all leave with a renewed sense of joy, one that will hopefully refuel your desire to follow your own personal dreams together.
