The Movie "Slumdog Millionaire"

Hello😊😊
I am Ayane Kurokawa, a coach who nurtures the heart.

The movie "Slumdog Millionaire" ~Events that seemed like coincidences become the meaning of life later on~

Is there any meaning to what is happening to me right now? Have you ever had a moment where you felt that way? I have had that feeling many times.

☀️The answers to life are found in lived experience

The movie "Slumdog Millionaire," which swept eight Academy Awards, has one single conclusion it conveys. That is, "Coincidences that happen in life will always turn into meaning later on."

The protagonist, Jamal, is a boy who grew up in the slums and experienced violence, poverty, and separation. He was able to answer correctly on the quiz show not because he had the knowledge, but because the life he had lived itself was the answer.

☀️The depth of the phrase "It is written"

There is a phrase that appears many times in the movie.

"It is written."

This is an expression derived from the Bible, meaning that it has already been written—that is, destiny determined by God. The idea is that poverty, violence, and sudden separation were all foreshadowing for Jamal to get the answer right at that moment.

When the final scene of the movie shows the answer, "The correct answer is D. It is written," every member of the audience feels a deep sense of conviction that yes, it had to be that way. Winning eight awards is a well-deserved result, isn't it?

☀️The power of meaning-making proven by psychology

This is not just a story within a movie. In psychology, this is called narrative formation. Recent studies have also shown that people who find meaning in past events have higher levels of happiness and resilience. Google founders and NBA players do not talk about their failures as a waste in interviews. They reinterpret them as necessary events.

☀️It is okay not to know the meaning right now

Even if what we are experiencing right now is painful or difficult to understand, there will be a moment when we look back and realize, "I am who I am today because of that experience." That failure back then. That detour back then. That hesitation back then. It is the moment you realize that everything was material that connected to your future self. That is why I think:

There is no such thing as a life without meaning✨🌱☀️

Events for which you cannot see the answer right now may also become an important part of your life when viewed from the future.

☀️Nurturing the heart

What I value in coaching that nurtures the heart is not denying the past, butchanging how you view the past. Even if you cannot change the event itself, you can change the meaning you give to that event. As a result, the way you feel about your own life will also change.

Instead of ending it as just a painful past, gradually transform it into "the experience that made me who I am today."

Once you are able to adopt that perspective, it becomes easier to look forward. What I felt while watching the movie was that life is not just something we are tossed around by, but that by finding meaning in it later, we can turn it into strength for the future. Coaching that nurtures the heart is the same.

Even if you cannot find meaning in your past experiences right now, or if thinking about the future makes you feel a little anxious, the things that have happened so far are just part of the journey. Meaning grows over time.

And for that, rather than continuing to blame the past, it is very important to focus on how you will shape your future from here on. When you look back later, there will definitely be a moment when you realize, "It was because of that." That is why I want you to remember: there is no such thing as a life without meaning.

☀️ Shall we try designing your future?

Even if you don't understand the meaning right now, if you work backward from the future, the path will become clear.

In the LINE bonus video "Future Design Steps," I share tips on how to draw a "map of meaning" for our lives.
