The
2007 movie Next features Nicholas
Cage as Las Vegas magician, Chris Johnson. Chris has a special gift that has
been in his life since childhood. His ability is something the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI) wants to use in stopping terrorists attacks. Chris
Johnson has the talent of seeing two minutes into his future.
What
would you do with that kind of knowledge? Would it be hindrance or a help in
your daily existence? Are there wrongs you could right in two minutes? In two
minutes, could you have the courage to say the important things in life to
those who mean the most? As far as I am aware, no one can go back and alter
their past for a different future (regardless of what literature and media lead
you to believe). The present is all you have control over.
What
are the things you excel at? How can you bless someone with your talents that
come so naturally to? It does no good to beat yourself up over the blunders
that you have performed in the past.
That
is self-defeating, exhaustive, and unproductive toward reaching the goal of
becoming the “true you.” Your bright future is within your reach. Grab it for
all your worth. There is no Next movie
for your life, but you have the next best things-God and your brain.
