It is rare to find a man who has overcome the ‘upper limit problem’ that his father had so severely wounded him with.  This movie is a powerful reminder of who we can become despite our past hurts and wounds.

If you get a chance to watch it, I would love your thoughts on why Buck chose to keep the wild colt section in the movie rather than splicing that part out of the movie.  Any thoughts?

1. It’s not about winning or losing; its about going the distance (and experiencing every moment).
2. Anything is possible with someone in your corner (Adrian, Mickey-his trainer, etc.).

WOW! This is a MUST see movie. It is about relationships, friendship, and a new concept that I am just starting to explore based on The Big Leap by Hendricks.

The Upper Limit Problem is the concept that we all live in our little box of excellence: we have acquired through experience a comfortable space of expertise.

The Upper Limit Problem is the human tendency to put the brakes on our positive “energy”/feelings when we’ve exceeded our unconscious thermostat setting for how good we can feel, how successful we can be, and how much love we can feel.

Questions to explore:

What was the King’s Upper Limit Problem(s)?

How did he overcome them?

What are your Upper Limit Problem(s)?

How can you overcome them?

Rob and I were swimmers, and he ALWAYS beat me in the stroke that we both did best (breaststroke).  He may not even remember all those swim meets where he would beat me handily, and he certainly (I hope) doesn’t  know about the emotional pain of never being able to beat his best friend… until maybe later…

Rob was a grade behind me in school so our paths began to separate.  He got into baseball, and I remained in swimming.  In high school, we both chose to play water polo and that meant that we would both be swimming together again.  We were the 2 main breaststrokers on the team so we found ourselves swimming against each other again.  This time, however, I was always in the lead.

I tell this story to my kids periodically.  I want so much for my kids to know that only time will tell the eventual outcomes.  They suffer, much like there dad has, when their friends beat them (and especially if their siblings do).  It is after these defeats that I turn to the “Rob story” in hopes of reminding them that with patience, perseverance, hard work, these circumstances can change.  Todays winners can be tomorrows losers in ANY race that you might find yourself in.

In the movie Minority Report, the main character (Tom Cruse) is being chased while he is helping to rescue a woman who has the power to see the future.  As they are being chased through a busy shopping mall, she is whispering in his ear directions to follow so they won’t be caught.  At one point she quietly chants, “wait for it…” over and over so that the main character will trust her advise and stand still in one place.  The place she advises them to stand is right in the middle of the mall in plain sight of everyone to see.  Unknown to the main character, a man with a large bundle of balloons is going to walk across their path blocking them from view at just the right moment when a group of police chasing them is trying to spot them. 

We don’t know the future.  We must stay on the right course.  If we are gifted and passionate about a sport or a career (for example), patience, perseverance, hard work, and just ‘waiting for it’ may, in time, allow us to finish better than we ever imagined that we could.

Life is filled with trust.  We must trust in God’s plan even when we want to trust in our plan.  We have to trust that our current state of affairs, our current losses, our current struggles, may, in the end, bring wins, success, and maybe even joy especially when we “run with perseverance the race marked out for us [by God].”

“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize?  run in such a way as to get the prize.”-1 Corinthians 9:24 (NIV)

“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”-Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)

Cons: A little slow for those of us who are not into character development…
