It is interesting sometimes especially as you start to get older to think about how your life has played out like a movie. Maybe you even see it as different movies, a prequel for those younger years possibly? It is easy to do that as you reflect on what you have done, learned and who you have interacted with over the years. The scenes and memories play in your mind just like a movie sometimes, the good, the bad and quite possibly the ugly.
That makes me think about something different with movies. The 10 minutes of “Coming Attractions” trailers that you must sit through before you watch the movie you purchased. As you watch them all clipped together to give you a feel for what each movie will be like there are some you like, some you think nah and some are scary. So, what would you do with the ability to see the coming attraction trailer for your life? Maybe as a teen if you would have been able to see those short clips of your young adulthood or now to see those images of what the next 10 or 20 years look like. I know right now a lot of you are saying nope, nada, do not want to. Look back at my question a couple of sentences earlier I did not ask if you would want to, I asked what you would do with it.
Sure, the easy answer is to say, I would not watch. Like many things in life, I urge you to take a deeper dive and think about what it would be like to see it. Maybe you might grasp onto an opportunity that is in front of you now that you are unsure of, it could give you the courage to go for it. It is possible that you could see how some complex relationships turn out and give you the courage to talk to someone or stand up for yourself. It really is interesting if you think about it for a few moments.
What is more interesting still is the fact that you do not need the coming attraction trailer to act today. We look for guidance in a lot of circumstance where really, we have the ability and instinct, we just need to trust ourselves. For those fans of NCIS, we need to trust our gut just like Gibbs 😊. So, if you are not sure even though it sounds like a great opportunity go ahead and do it, you will learn along the way. Relationship complex? Have that conversation or if that is too hard to start by writing out what you want to say. Reconnect over lunch and enjoy each other. You do not need a glimpse into the future, spoiler alert…you make you future! Shine bright and much love!
Ok so I have a question for y’all…
