MODERN MYTH MESSAGES : THE FAMILY MAN...!

 

WHAT IF..........

What if you made different choices?

You said YES instead of NO?

You got a second chance?

Jack Campbell made a choice. To leave the love of his life after college for a financial banking  internship in London. After meeting an angel on Christmas Eve, he is gifted the opportunity to go back and visit his alternate life in which he decided to forgo the internship and build a life with his then girlfriend!

Jack is sitting in a chair of the humble house he shares with his wife and two small children.

JACK: (Opening up an old envelope with torn, one way return airline tickets from London to New York) From London to New York.  I came back.

KATE: (entering the room with Jack) When you got on that plane, I was sure it was over. I left the airport afraid I would never see you again. And then you showed up the very next day. (softly) That was a good surprise. Ya know, I think about the decision you made. Maybe I was being naive, but I thought we would grow old together in this house. That we would spend holidays here and have our grandchildren come visit us here. I have this image of us all grey and wrinkly. And me working in the garden and you repainting the deck. (brushing away tears) But things change. 

If you need this Jack.  If you really need this. I will take these kids from a life they love, and I will take myself from the only home we've ever shared together, and I'll move wherever you need to go. I'll do that because I love you. I love you and that's more important to me than our address. I choose US!

FROM UNIVERSAL FILMS: THE FAMILY MAN

Choices! We all truly get to create our own reality in every moment of NOW. Through our thoughts, emotions, and actions; our choices. For they are a part of the very fabric that weaves, with utter energetic wonder, everything we will experience and grow to become as a byproduct.  Every choice you make creates a "ripple effect" throughout the Universe. Because you are the Universe! And so it is very crucial to live with purposeful intention! Behind every choice you make are the INTENTIONS of what and WHO you choose to BE! You can only have the life of your greatest desires if you first "intentionally organize it through the choices you make."  

As the late, great Wayne Dyer taught, "You create your thoughts. Your thoughts create your intentions. And your intentions create your reality." And So It Is Mr. Dyer! 

In the extraordinarily magical film The Family Man, Jack Campbell goes through a Hero's Journey of massive SELF discovery. He is given the penultimate gift of "seeing" a glimpse of a life he could have created for himSELF. The one he realizes was completely aligned with his Super Heroic Higher Self. Through this vision of spiritual sliding doors, he is humbled and grows into the man who is able to receive the LOVE the life he now so longs for would have given to him.  

This gifted "vision" forges a deep KNOWINGNESS within his personal paradigm. And like Jack, once we no longer believe, but actually KNOW who we are and what we truly desire, life becomes a thing of daily magic; and MIRACLES! And there is absolutely NO going back to the way things "used to BE."

Once this "quick glimpse" of a much more formative life ends, Jack has one last shot at creating the vision of his new INTENDED DREAMS! And so like all Super Heroes, he takes massive action! And rushes to the airport to speak from his heart to the love of his life, Kate. Who is about to leave for Paris, permanently!

JACK: (shouting to capture Kate's attention before boarding her plane for Paris) We have a house in Jersey! We have two kids. Annie and Josh! Annie's not much of a violin player, but she tries real hard. She's a little precocious, but that's only because she says what is on her mind. (tearing up) And when she smiles. (holding back more tears-beat) And Josh, he has your eyes. He doesn't say much. But we know he's smart. He's always got his eyes open. He's always watching us. Sometimes you can look at him and you just KNOW. He's learning something new. It's like witnessing a miracle. 

The house is a mess. But it's ours! After 122 more payments, it's gonna be ours! And you, you're a non-profit lawyer. That's right. You're completely non-profit. But that doesn't seem to bother you. And we're in love. After 13 years of marriage, we are still unbelievably in love. You won't even let me touch you until I've said it. I sing to you. Not all the time, but definitely on special occasions. And we've dealt with our share of surprises and made a lot of sacrifices but we've stayed together. 

You see, you're a better person than I am. And it made me a better person to be around you. I dunno! Maybe it was all just a dream. Maybe I went to bed one lonely night in December and I imagined it all. But, I swear, nothing has ever felt....so real.  And if you get on that plane right now, it will all disappear forever. I know we could both go on with our lives and we would both be fine. But I've seen what we can be like together. And I choose US!

Not all of us will be granted the "Christmas Wish" of a second chance to change things in our lives like Jack Campbell. (of course many of us will, so never stop knowing what you desire to BE and DO)  All by making different, more empowering choices. So I highly suggest you take heed of the script making magic from this illuminating film. And begin to put intentional energy behind everything you think, say and do! The very state of your life in all its abundant forms is depending on it! 

BE SUPER HEROIC!

BE LOVE - SERVE ALL - INSPIRE ALWAYS
