Practice perseverance starting today

For this movie, I heard it highly recommended by Little Beauty. I finally bought it today and watched it. The result was some tears.
While watching it, I also felt the same exhaustion and boredom of work as Julie, and even more lost myself. Some don't know exactly what I'm going to do, what I need to do, and what I'm supposed to do.
What touched me the most here is that Julie & Julia finally found what they loved in their lives. No matter how life changes, they can't stop their love for French cuisine. When I see this, I can't help but think of myself, I often want to finish my own kitten brand, I often want to publish my novel, I often want to hold an art exhibition, and I often want to write lyrics, but what else do I really do? It's very good, but in the end, you have to do your own business in a down-to-earth way. In fact, when I think about it now, what we say is crude but reasonable.
And Julie is always talking about Julia's optimism, being a man and making money, being happy every day like Julia, not decadent, not complaining, kind, optimistic, how beautiful life should be. I really want to get back my happy, kind, optimistic self. For unhappiness in life and work, you can't always complain, but you should learn from experience and lessons.
While watching this movie, I secretly made up my mind that I must concentrate on one thing. Even the most trivial thing, I have to practice perseverance. Like Julie & Julia, love life, love the people around you, love your career.
