Thank you Marcus. It really changed me for the better. Especially the bit about severing rapport and the affect it has on those closest. If you have new insights after viewing the film, please come back and share. Peace...
I had the pleasure to fully attend to Whiplash. As promised it delivered to it's most best. I may add that it had a connection to: I Can Only Imagine (2018)
Lastly, the movie triggered few lines from Napoleon Hill; “Think and Grow Rich?”
Our burning desire "definite purpose." See, when we pursue this meaningful purpose, two things happen in our brain. First, you experience a more basic, compelling emotion that initiates passion, which often feels like intense enthusiasm and pride. Passion is impulsive and instinctive, as it emerges from having an incomplete perception of the nature of reality. It can motivate you to survive past obstacles, but it isn’t a reliable guidepost to great achievement or fulfilment.
The emotional area of your brain is responsible for your passion with such intensity. This includes your amygdala, basal ganglia, and brain stem, which are the primitive structures for impulsive and instinctive behaviours.
Passions can be the source of human suffering, because they’re nothing more than impulses toward pleasure and instincts to avoid pain. Our best life requires rational control over passionate appetites.
Second, you experience knowledge of a definite purpose, which is a primary and essential function for your fulfilment. A definite purpose clarifies your direction and your deepest, most objective reason why you want to achieve your desires. This is your true north, your highest intrinsic value, and your resolve to be unstoppable.
Your brain’s prefrontal cortex is responsible for your pursuit of definite purpose. It drives all the higher-order cognitive functions, including self-mastery. This allows you to control your emotional impulses created by passion.
I think of passion like a fire, if contained it can do great things. But when it becomes out of control, the destruction has no limits. The AMP film we use on this topic of passion out of balance is: There Will Be Blood (2007). It drives home your point in a not so subtle way. https://youtu.be/FeSLPELpMeM?si=Y8dNoSyFFQuyx-BB
Thanks DAVID BARNES, for this incredible read. I only seen half part of the movie, Whiplash, I will be adding it to my "pick movie" for the weekend.

What a thoughtful response Marcus. Thank you!
