Tip#587: If You Could Talk To Your Younger Self What Would You Say? - Looper

If you could talk to your younger self what would you say? Bruce Willis's character in Disney's The Kid gets to do that. This is a favourite film of mine because it represents a profound concept that we can heal our current issues by going back in time and teaching our younger selves how to face the challenge or trauma that caused the issue in the first place. Willis plays another character in the film Looper and gets the chance to talk to his younger self again.

Looper (2012)

The science fiction action movie Looper is about 25 year old Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who encounters his future self (Bruce Willis). The year is 2044 and Joe's job is to exterminate and dispose of criminals sent back in time from the future. When his future self is sent back to him, the future Joe fights back and escapes death. What unfolds is a mind-bending, thought-provoking story about the need to alter timelines from two different perspectives.

There is a fascinating scene where future Joe faces younger Joe in a diner. With 30 years of life experiences he does his best to tell his younger self what he needs to do to change the dire future he will eventually face. The irony is that younger Joe doesn't want to change anything and only thinks about his own needs. Without saying anymore about the film, this scene will make you think about what you would do if you got to speak to your younger self.

You may not be able to time travel in the physical but you can at least start having healing discussions with your younger self. Anytime you get a hurtful memory flash imagine it is your voice somewhere from the past needing help. Put your hand on your heart and say...

"I hear you. I am here. You are not alone. Everything will be okay. I love you."

If you believe in the power of your own mind this action of talking to your past will comfort your younger self AND alter your present challenges for the better. Open your imagination today to this exciting possibility!
