Midlife movie recommendation!

Watch the film Nyad starring Jodie Foster and Annette Bening. It’s fantastic with a strong theme about age and the feeling that there’s still energy and time to do things that are exciting and give you purpose. Diana Nyad gets to 60 and decides she wants to have one more go at achieving her dream of swimming from Cuba to Florida. However, what impressed me most about the story was that it’s not just about Diana Nyad’s purpose but the skills and determination of the team that gets her there.

At the beginning of the film Diana Nyad’s friend and coach, Bonnie Stoll, played by Jodie Foster, is persuading John Bartlett (Rhys Ifans) to be their navigator. Stoll says to Bartlett:

‘How many more chances are we gonna get to do heart-pumping s**t?’

Stoll and Bartlett were instrumental in helping Nyad achieve her goal and what is portrayed in the film is that you can just as much thrill from supporting someone else’s achievement, from being part of that team. All greatness needs a team.

It made me think about all the people who had supported me and that perhaps in the future I could be someone’s Bonnie.

Don’t let age hold you back from your dreams or the thrill of someone’s else’s. Be Diana. Be John. Be Bonnie. Do some heart-pumping s**t.
