I know. I know what your saying right now.
"Really VJ? You really chose Kung-fu Panda as your first movie to look into for deeper meaning?"
Yea...
I went there...
If that doesn't quench your curiosity than keep reading and stay tuned for more exploration into
Kung-Fu Panda.
We are first introduced to Po in an extravagant dream of his. A dream filled with kung-fu, and feats of greatness.
He wants to be a great kung-fu master. He longs for greatness, almost as if he is destined for it, but ,of course, reality sets in as Po wakes up from his dream. Po wakes up to a life that is centered around his job and controlled by pleasing his "father" who is (also his boss) clearly not his true father.
He has spent his entire life being fed the lie that he is already living out his destiny in his mediocre, unhappy, passionless noodle-making existence. He is told that any dream outside of this mediocrity is foolish.
Stop
Can we see ourselves in this yet?
Can we step back for a minute and put this tale in perspective?
I know that i can see myself just a few years ago buying into the same lie that Po bought into: that i was destined for mediocrity. That i could spend my whole life consumed by the day to day business of work and living in America and i would never have reason to do anything more significant than that.
Are you living consumed in the day to day? Are you (as Colossians 3 say) shuffling along with your head down, only focusing on the things that pertain to you?
Have your dreams been crushed and shattered by the wrecking crew to disappointment, or the tsunami of fear?
Have your passion and your dream become simply a passing memory?
Are they only something from your youth? Something you matured out of?
You have been fed the lie of the enemy.
The lie that you are not made for anything greater than where you are right now,
that your not going anywhere in life.
Have you been buying into that lie?
Has the lie become a reality?
Only you can decide
