How can the movie, The Kid, inspire you to step boldly into the life that's waiting for you?
In this fourth article in a series about this movie and its meaning, we look at how the movie can inspire our own shifts. In the story, Russ has just seen his future self and he realizes that he finally gets to live his dream of becoming a pilot.
Stepping into Your Life Purpose
After seeing this revelation, he makes several very important shifts, and again, we don't see the shift, we see the result. He reaches out to his father, sends his loyal and hardworking assistant on a vacation for two, buys a dog and shows up at the house of the woman we assume he will eventually marry.
Though she has recently rejected him, when she sees the dog and the look on his face, she invites him in and the movie comes to an end.
So, behaviorally speaking, those seem like small changes he made but they are evidence of the changes in his heart, of the healing that has taken place. And that healing is what will make it possible to make the even bigger changes that lead to living his purpose and becoming fully who he really is.
That's why I love this movie!
I've lost track of how many times I have seen it. But the power of healing (and the fun of time travel) makes every viewing special. It tells a story I believe in and makes the case for exactly the thing I think everyone should do: heal the past and become who you are so that you can live your life purpose.
Create Your Own Movie Magic
However, I am aware that it is only a movie. The work we do in real life (whatever that means) sometimes takes longer and feels much harder and we may find it as difficult as he did initially to look for the things that need to heal so we can move them out of the way.
Befriending the inner child can be painful. What would you do if your inner child showed up out of the blue and asked for help?
What do you do? Because I guarantee you, it happens all the time, though maybe not so visibly or concretely.
My message: find what needs to heal and heal it, and then, launch yourself into the life that's waiting for you!
Finding Your Vision
In the movie, Russ had several visible reminders of his need for healing. He saw his inner child, he saw the airplane he had loved as a child and he saw the man he would become.
What vision would help to motivate you?
What can you take from this movie that might help you make the small shifts that lead to even bigger ones? How might it inspire you?
For me, aside from supporting my message, it reminds me that my past does not have to determine my future. And that I can envision the future I want to create and start shifting my way toward it.
What will you let this movie do for you? And what about your own favorites? What do they mean to you?
I bet there are aspects of them that speak to the inner child in you. Aren't there?
