This movie came to me at a very auspicious time. I'm not even sure I know why I ordered it. I just did. I think I was hoping for something to inspire me or perk me up as I move forward with the difficult task of finding a new job. At midlife, I find I'm one of the many Americans whose been laid off of work due to corporate restructuring. I consider myself to be a positive person, but it's been a tough journey.
The day that this movie arrived, I had just come home from an interview in another state and was exhausted, road weary, and depressed due to the sudden realization that I just can't work at another corporation, doing the work that I have always done. It was killing me, but I still need to earn a living. What am I going to do?? A definite low point.
That night I watched this movie. Honestly, I really couldn't focus on it too much because I was so tired, but something in me was waking up. I had a glimmer of hope. So I watched it again in the morning, caught a few more nuggets of truth, and the inspiration I was hoping for hit. Big time!
I've watched this movie a couple of more times since that night. Each time I catch something I hadn't caught before. It's been helping me a lot to understand where I'm at in my own Hero's Journey and how to view my life as a whole from a different framework or perspective. And in that space, I found not only the solution, but an excitement and joy that I haven't felt for a long time. It helped me to reconnect with my bliss again and brought me back to my Self. And I couldn't be more grateful! Granted, I still need a job, but I have a different roadmap now. One that feels infinitely more authentic and exciting!
If you find yourself at a crossroads and in need of direction or inspiration, I highly recommend this movie. It'll support you in finding what's true for you. For me, it truly was a Godsend that came at the right moment. Thank you, Pat and Pat, Inc. I wish I could give everyone involved in this movie a really big hug and thank them.
