Breaking Barriers

The Power of One!

Over the holiday break, I had the pleasure of watching the movie, Best Man Holiday. While the climax of the movie is rather sad, I love this movie. As I was watching it I learned something, the power of one! If you’ve never watched the movie, here’s a quick synopsis. Best Man Holiday is the sequel to the Best Man, which is a movie about a group of college friends. The first movie was centered around a wedding and a big secret that was revealed. In the sequel, they come together for Christmas and their bond is further tightened through circumstances of the different friends.

One of the characters in the movie did a great job of bringing everyone together, she was consistent in trying to stay connected. She had a way of understanding each person’s needs and helping them to be their best self. One person had the power to bring everyone together after several years and push each person to where they needed to be. This reminded me that we each have a purpose and within our purpose we can help to shape and elevate the lives of others to do and be more. We cannot allow ourselves to get in the way, with God you are powerful and can do great things!
