If you enjoy uplifting films, “The Blind Side” is a must-see. Based on a true tale, this film tells the narrative of Michael Oher, a homeless youngster who discovers love, support, and family, and realises that he is capable of leaving his past behind for a bright future. This film not only tugs at your heartstrings, but also puts things into perspective and gives you a fresh perspective on life and all the things we take for granted.

The following are five life lessons you can learn from this film.

1. Have enough self-respect to be truthful

Whatever circumstance you’re in, it’s simply that: a predicament. It isn’t about who you are as a person or how you should define yourself, as we frequently do to ourselves. But why are you doing it? We should know our worth and stand up for it like Michael did when he didn’t want to keep a name he hadn’t selected.

2. Having a good time is a birthright

It makes no difference what you’ve been through or where you’re going; you’re supposed to have fun. Just do it, whether you’re rapping in the vehicle, busting butt on the field, watching a movie, or anything else.

3. It’s not uncommon for the folks you thought you were assisting to wind up assisting you

Sometimes we go through life thinking we’re assisting someone with their problems, but it’s only later that we learn we were the ones who were assisting them. It is their attitude, their sense of self, or their self-assurance, but we know they’ve inspired us more than we could ever inspire them.

4. Remember to appreciate the times when you ARE living your dream

We all have hopes for the future at different stages in our lives, but sometimes we forget that the life we have now is the one we had hoped for previously. Don’t forget to savour those special times.

5. It’s for the best when the worst-case scenario occurs

Michael feels ashamed and guilty after being involved in a car accident while driving with S.J., the Tuohy family’s youngest member. However, when Leigh Anne discovers that he used his hand to stop the airbag from killing S.J., it leads to something that provides him with a second chance at life.
