Affirmation:
I freely give in secret.
I freely receive in grateful quietude.
I am gently led in and towards my Magnificent Obsession!
Last week we saw a Turner Classic Movie called
“Magnificent Obsession” with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman. We had no idea what a spiritual movie it was. Rock Hudson was a “Playboy,” not caring about anyone or anything but himself. Due to his reckless behavior and some sequential events he causes another man to die. In his inept way to make amends, he finds himself falling in love with the widow. In his relentless pursuit of her, he causes her to fall in front of a car resulting in her becoming blind. At his wits end, he meets an artist who tells him the one way he can find his path, is to recognize his Magnificent Obsession. Rock does not know how to do that, so the artist says, ” To find your Magnificent Obsession:
GIVE to others. Give to those who do not have, and ask them never to tell where the help came from. Give without expecting payment or anything in return. As Rock begins to do this he also re-discovers his passion, his love for medicine. As the relationship with Jane goes uphill and then downhill, he realizes the only thing left to do is to complete his doctor program and become a surgeon.
I don’t want to tell you how it ends, but Rock’s Magnificent Obsession with his two loves come together in the most beautiful way. In the end we all realize, everything that happened that appeared “bad” was ultimately meant for good!
Does this sound familiar??? What man intends for evil, God intends for Good!
Lesson: The more you GIVE, the more you are led to your Magnificent Obsession where you make a unique difference in the world. Regardless of appearance, ALL is meant to bless you in your life’s journey.
This movie is based on a true story.
