親愛的聽友們元旦快樂~
今天和你們分享一部很適合年末看的溫暖小片《心靈奇旅》。
The movie follows Joe Gardner, a middle school music teacher who has dreamed of performing jazz music onstage, and finally gets a chance at a club.
However, an accident caused Joe’s soul to be separated from his body and transported to the heaven-like You Seminar.
影片講的是一個叫Joe的初中音樂老師
在好不容易拿到了能在正式的音樂場合表演爵士的機會、
離自己的音樂夢想就差最後一步的時候,
被一個意外帶到了類似天堂的一個地方——叫You Seminar,
介於生與死之間的心理中心。
Joe wants to get back to earth and returns to his life, so he teams up with another soul, named 22, who has never understood the appeal of human experience.
後來為了能回到地球,Joe和一個對人類生活一點興趣都沒有的靈魂22結伴了。
最後他們意外地發現了人生中很多被大家忽略的樂趣,開始了新的生活。
在看電影的時候就想到了一本書叫
《被討厭的勇氣》,
裡面提到的很多道理是一樣的。
比如電影探索的主題是:人活著,一定要有人生目的嗎?
Many people are struggling to find a life purpose.
We try to figure out what we’re good at, what we’re born to do, and what we hope to achieve. But, does everyone has to have a life purpose?
很多人窮盡一生都在焦慮自己的人生目的、人生意義是什麼。
就像影片裡那些被困在「the zone」組的人。
So what is the zone?
In positive psychology, the zone means a flow state.
It is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
心理學上把「心流」口語化地叫做the zone,
形容人在很專注地投入某件事並且很享受的時候會有的一種感覺。
就像一直有音樂夢的Joe在彈鋼琴的時候就有這種感覺。
但電影裡說,有很多人卻因為過度執迷於the zone,
而成了lost soul——迷失的靈魂。
Moonwind says,
The zone is enjoyable. But when that joy becomes an obsession, one becomes disconnected from life.
Lost souls are obsessed by something that disconnects them from life.
「心流區是很讓人享受的,但如果那種樂趣變成了一種執迷,就會讓你跟生活脫離。
迷失的靈魂總是對這些讓他們跟生活沒有連接的事而固執。」
——靈魂Moonwind
Just like Joe, he knows very well he is obsessed with jazz music and believes that he was born to be a jazz musician.
So when he finds he died before he had the chance to perform at a club, he says, "my life was meaningless. No, no, no, no. I will not accept this."
Joe在第一次去世後回顧自己的一生,發現自己在即將上臺表演前就去世了,
他非常懊惱地說:「我的人生是沒有意義的!我不能接受!」
Before Joe is sent to the heaven, Joe shouts, "I’m not dying today. Not when my life just started."
他不願意自己在那一天去世,因為覺得自己的人生自此才剛剛開始。
可是當他後來真的有機會去表演了以後,走出表演廳,
卻開始質疑自己:I thought I would feel different.
以為自己在好不容易達成夢想之後感覺會不一樣。
可達到目的後的快感消失得比自己想像中的快很多。
所以其實人生不只是一個目的地,不是到達了就結束了。
它是無數個瞬間連接在一起的旅程。
If you forget to enjoy the countless moments in your life and only focus on chasing for your goal, the path to get to your goal will become meaningless.
That’s why many people are stuck in pain, maybe because they don’t know what their dreams are, or maybe because they haven’t been there yet.
如果意識不到人生重要的是當下的瞬間,
就會執著於探究自己未來的目的地到底是什麼。
所以很多人都焦慮於自己的心流區和夢想是什麼,
或者因為還沒有達成目的而苦惱。
就像靈魂22。她和我們很多人一樣,目前不清楚自己具體想做什麼,
似乎人生也因此就沒有了意義,總是被家人和朋友嘲笑自己一事無成。
直到後來,當她到了人間,
會感動於落葉飄到自己手上的美好,
為自己能自由走路而興奮,
才意識到其實自己的「spark」——觸發激情的點,
就是享受生活中的每一刻。
So just like what the book The Courage to be Disliked says,
"No matter what has occurred in your life up to this point, it should have no bearing at all on how you live from now on.
That you, living in the here and now,
are the one who determines your own life."
回到最開始說的《被討厭的勇氣》,這本書最後也說了,
「以前發生的事都不應該對你從此刻開始該如何過生活有影響。
只有活在此時此刻的你,才決定了你的人生。」
所以請用心過好當下的每一天,認真做好每一件事,
它總能帶你到達某一個地方。
而對你而言的人生意義在做好「此時此刻」的同時,
也會逐漸明晰。
