One of the best movies I\u2019ve attended this year is a movie called, \u201cSecretariat.\u201d\u00a0 Not only is it beautifully shot, and the story told with great style; as a powerful lesson, this stands out.<\/p>\nOne of the best movies I\u2019ve attended this year is a movie called, \u201cSecretariat.\u201d\u00a0 Not only is it beautifully shot, and the story told with great style; as a powerful lesson, this stands out.<\/p>\n
Penny Tweedy believed in Secretariat even before he was born.\u00a0 You can watch the movie to get the storyline in detail, but this story is so much like so many other success stories I\u2019ve seen; not only in movies and books, but in real life.\u00a0 Everyone who succeeds dramatically, boldly, bodaciously has something inside that moves them forward:<\/strong> a hunger, a desire, a drive.\u00a0 And while that\u2019s not unusual, the unusual part is they\u2019re the only ones who sees it.<\/em><\/p>\n The only person who believed in Secretariat was Penny Tweedy; not her husband, her family, her brother, anyone else, just her.\u00a0 She had a \u201cknowing.\u201d\u00a0 And a knowing is far different than a belief.<\/strong><\/p>\n Jesus had a knowing.\u00a0 Study His life and you suspect that He knows something you don\u2019t know.\u00a0 He knows not only the beginning, the middle, but also the end of the drama that was His life.\u00a0 I do believe that God gives us a knowing<\/strong>, a thing, an idea, a dream, a wrong to right, a load to lift, a hurt to heal; something dramatic that we can make of our lives.\u00a0 This knowing isn\u2019t earned.\u00a0 It is a gift.<\/strong> I believe it is a gift that we all get somewhere in our lives.<\/p>\n So the question is, \u201cWhy aren\u2019t more people doing amazing things?\u00a0 Why don\u2019t we see more Secretariats?\u201d\u00a0 I truly believe it\u2019s because 90% of us ignore or deny our knowing.<\/strong> Why? Because it is so big, and bold and beyond us, that once we ever let it see the light of day, everything and everyone in life conspires to kill it.<\/p>\n I am in a weekly Bible study with James Ryle, one of the co-founders of Promise Keepers.\u00a0 I asked James this morning, \u201cDid Coach Mack and you and the others at the core of Promise Keepers have a knowing?\u201d\u00a0 And he smiled and said, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d\u00a0 And he could take me back to that place and time where that knowing was shared among a small group of people.\u00a0 I knew<\/em> it.\u00a0 Everything begins with a knowing.<\/strong><\/p>\n You don\u2019t need a lot of money, degrees, and you also don\u2019t need a large group of people to believe in you.\u00a0 But you do need a knowing; something you know, something that\u2019s so deep inside of you, so compelling, a passion that drives you so relentlessly <\/strong>that you do not need anyone else to know it, to know it.<\/p>\n Maybe more than a new husband or a new life, or a new job, or makeover, you need a knowing.\u00a0 What is it that you know, or that you pursue with a relentless dedication that looks like insanity from the outside?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the best movies I\u2019ve attended this year is a movie called, \u201cSecretariat.\u201d\u00a0 Not only is it beautifully shot, and the story told with great style; as a powerful lesson, this stands out.
