5 Ways The Award Winning ‘Brittany Runs A Marathon’ Will Change Your Life For The Better
You have to believe in yourself through the good times and the bad. You have to keep moving forward, even when you feel like it is pointless to try.
Brittany Runs A Marathon is the kind of movie that stays stuck in your head weeks after watching.
Brittany Runs A Marathon premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019. Paul Downs Colaizzo wrote and directed the film, which is based on a real story about his best friend and roommate (who is played by Jillian Bell).
The heartwarming, inspirational film won the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. It was subsequently picked up by Amazon for $14 million and is going to be released to the public later this year.
When you get to know the main character of the film, she is going to motivate you to change your own life. You’ll have to wait until the movie to see the details, but for now, here is a quick rundown of how she will inspire you to change your world for the better:
1. She will remind you small stepping stones can lead to big achievements.
In Brittany Runs A Marathon, the main character takes up running. She starts by strapping on her converse and running a block. Soon, one block turns to two. Then three. She is a reminder you are not going to change your world overnight — but if you put in the time and the effort, you are going to see big changes. You are going to realize you are capable of more than you ever thought possible. You just have to stay patient and keep going.
2. She will show you how much of an impact one change can make.
When Brittany takes up running, it does more than improve her health. It also improves her relationships. It encourages her to break down barriers that have caused her to push people away. Making a small change to your routine can do the same for you. It can have a snowball effect that improves your mental state as well as your physical state.
3. She will make you feel less alone.
Brittany struggles with relatable issues viewers will recognize, struggles most people face on a daily basis. When you watch this film, you will see yourself in the character. You will understand where she is coming from. You will feel like she is a kindred spirit. She will remind you an average person, someone exactly like you, is capable of incredible things.
4. She will empower you.
Brittany Runs A Marathon shows a realistic version of what it’s like to change your life. It isn’t always easy. It isn’t always uphill. There are speed bumps. There is a dark side. However, you have to believe in yourself through the good times and the bad. You have to keep moving forward, even when you feel like it is pointless to try.
5. She will push you to break out from your comfort zone.
Like most of us, Brittany wants a better life. She starts out the movie with health problems, problems at work, and little respect for herself. However, instead of choosing to continue moving forward with the same exact routine as she has followed her entire life, she decides to make a change. She leaves her comfort zone. She takes a chance on herself. She decides to make an active change instead of letting her bad habits destroy her. That is what you have to do. If you continue living the same way, you will continue having the same problems. It’s up to you to change the course of your own life.
Do yourself a favor and watch Brittany Runs A Marathon. She will help you believe in yourself again. She will push you to try again.
