Movie
Ready to make a change?
I watched “The Shift” in 2019 for the first time. And watched it again yesterday. I can assure you it is one of the best movies in the spiritual inspiration genre.
Here are some focal points of the movie:
Different Aspects Of Ego:
“Who you are is what you have.”
The very first aspect of ego says, “you are what you have. Your possessions and expensive things make you, you.” How many times do we fall into the trap of owning expensive things even at the cost of our peace and happiness? We take pride in telling people we’ve bought this expensive thing and we think we are superior to them. That’s just ego speaking. Notice how you behave to change this.
“I am not what I have, but I am what I do as well.”
The second aspect of ego makes you believe, “you have to achieve something, you have to have a higher post, You have to win. Every time.”
This doesn’t mean you should not have victories or have healthy competitions, where you can grow and become better. This simply means you should not get attached to the outcome. Take it as a game of life.
“I am what other people think of me.”
Ego makes your existence based on what others think of you. Whatever they think about your looks, talents, failures, successes, everything becomes your identity. If they clap for you, you are doing good. If they are criticizing you, you have 0 value. You take everything on your pride.
Separation of Identity:
According to Ego
“Who I am is separate from everybody else. I am separate from everything that is missing in my life, from all the things that I’d like to have. And I’m separate from God.”
When you separate yourself from God, it becomes hard to pray and to believe that your dreams are possible. It becomes easy to do immoral things. Because He is elsewhere.
Purpose:
“When we feel our calling, what our purpose is. We ignore the competition that we have to go ahead of everybody. We know what is fulfilling us.”
When we know where we are heading, we don’t care about what others are doing. We are happy in the process and that’s the only purpose we have.
Surrender:
“We had everything we needed in the first nine months of our lives. Why isn’t that true for the next 90 years? Because we interfere.”
Dr. Dyer simply talks about the first nine months of your life. You don’t interfere with how your hair color, eye color should be, how your body should look like, what you’ll eat, or how you’ll take birth on this planet. He says when you start to listen to people around you and start doubting yourself. You make a hell of a lot of effort to win. You don’t let things flow as they should be.
You should surrender just like when you were being born.
Your Music:
“Don’t die with your music still in you.”
Your talents are your music. You should never fail to showcase that talent. This world needs your music.
Many people die without even knowing their talent. Many die without showing it. Only some believe that their music is worthy enough to live here with them. You decide, which category you want to be in.
Detachment From The Ego:
“When you move away from the ego, you move from a sense of entitlement to humility. You realize you are entitled to nothing.”
You shift from the mentality of owning everything and from keeping it safe to giving it away. Because you realize you don’t need all of these things to make you, YOU. You start caring about others and their happiness.
“You shift from, what can I get? to how can I offer?”
“To touch someone’s life is more valuable than any amount of money.”
When you start to live like this, the Universe says, “how may I serve you?”
Realization:
“There’s a place deep within us that wants to feel fulfilled. It wants to know that my life had made a difference. That I’ve left this place, this planet — that I’ve lived on, better than when I arrived.”
Ask yourself: “How can I serve by my talents or by something that makes me happy?”
