Origin Ten years ago, the most magical power in this world is the seed. No matter when the seed is sown, when the soil, temperature, humidity and environmental conditions are suitable, it will grow up and make life smile. I have this feeling because I just watched the movie [Peace Warrior] recently. This classic movie was recommended to me ten years ago, but I don't feel it, and I don't think the growth process of a warrior has anything to do with me. Until recently, when I was immersed in the many mysteries of life, there was a push that made me open this film, and it did solve the mysteries of my life that had plagued me for so long. In the adult world, every day is as busy as a war, but most people don’t feel that they have become a warrior fighting, spinning like a top every day in their lives. After many years, except for the wrinkles on their faces and the vicissitudes in their eyes, it seems that every The 365 days have passed 365 times, just like a line in the movie: death is not sad, sadly many people never live.  I might be one of those people who never really lived and just woke up now. What brought me back to life in the downturn was the leverage brought by this movie. I believe that it is very important to grasp the principle of leverage in life in a timely manner. Even if I fall, it is easy to get up and move on.  I am very grateful to the friends who once recommended this movie to me. The small seeds that were sown at that time have been brewing in my heart for 10 years and have begun to sprout today. Are you happy? I have asked many people this question, and I have been asked by many people. I heard this question again when the old man asked Millman in [Peace Warrior]: Are you happy? Millman is a gymnast of the Olympic national team. He has a charming figure and a rich material life. On campus, he is the envy of girls who are obsessed with boys. The buddy's girlfriend didn't even apologize. When asked this question, Millman's first reaction was: What happiness do you mean? In the eyes of the world, everything he has is the envy of many people and the pursuit of his life, he thinks he is happy. But the old man broke his confusion: If you are happy, why can't you sleep at night? Not sleeping at 3:00 two nights in a row? Seeing this, I laughed, thinking of the many people around me, wearing brand-name clothes, wearing exquisite accessories, carrying luxury bags, driving an expensive car, but dazed in the car or arguing with my partner, covered with the most expensive The quilt stayed awake all night, and even after signing up for various cram schools for the child, he would be furious because the child's grades were not good. People are chasing to have more money, to have a higher status, only to find that there is no More time to enjoy that money and glory. Some people keep making money and saving money all their lives, but they are reluctant to spend money. After saving their whole life, they are still poor, trying to save money for their children to buy a house to live, and for their own peace of mind, let their children bear the family belongings that were exchanged for blood and tears, How unbearable and uneasy.  The old man said: Everyone wants to tell you how to do it and how it is beneficial to you. No one wants you to find your own answer. They all want you to believe their way. This kind of happiness in the eyes of others that has been told since childhood, which circulates from generation to generation, devours people from generation to generation. Millman became a little curious when the old man revealed the truth about his unhappiness before he finished his answer with an uncertain tone. Maybe no one ever questioned Millman, for example, if you eat too fast, for example, if you did not enter the Olympic national team, what would you do? The old man continued: I hope you don't collect information from the outside, but from the inside. Millman dubiously weighed the old man's words and the direction to guide him.  What kind of person do you want to be? Decide what kind of life you live now. The old man broke Millman's habit again and again. He thought that he trained every day and was more than proud to be called the king of rings. Still showing off in front of the old man and wanting to prove his ability, Millman, who stood on the table until the last moment and fell down, became angry with the humiliation he had never suffered before. Once Millman wanted to win the championship, he was training hard every day, and wanted to be proud in the eyes of others. He always looked at the girls around him and those young men of the same age who were eyeing him with unruly eyes. them. In his habitual life, he thought that he could achieve good results by training hard, but he never asked his heart, he longed for gold medals and the pleasure that those honors brought him. In fact, he has already been controlled by the so-called gold medal, like a top, without knowing it. Just like many people in our lives, we are constantly chasing external fame, fortune, and status, thinking that more money, more fame, and more status will lead to happier people, but they don’t know that they have already lost happiness on the way to pursue happiness. When he was unable to participate in the Olympic Games later, he almost collapsed and smashed all the medals to end his life. Without these external decorations, who are you? The old man reminded him that people are afraid of their hearts, and the heart is the only destination. Why are people afraid of their own hearts? Because there are many things that you chase outside, you will find that everything is nothing in the end.  Millman seemed to understand, but the old man reminded him: instead of being a jumper, What do you want to do more than someone who grabs the ring and then performs a stunt or two skillfully, or who wants to be a warrior, using his mind and body in a way that surpasses the guts of others? Clearly, with Millman's pride, he must be called a warrior. In the usual training, he also tried to do some difficult movements, such as three laps of the ring, but every time it was a failure, the coach comforted him that you are fine, it is too difficult, you can perform normally . In the habit of thinking, step by step is enough to be proud. Millman is a potential warrior. He tried to trust the old man to put aside his distractions. After the king of rings got on the pommel, after doing beautiful moves, he enjoyed his achievements complacently. At this time, the old man woke up the habitual Millman in time: immersed in the joy of the past, you have learned nothing. Like Millman in the past, we are used to pretending to work hard and have no time to think about the real meaning of life. Repeated actions can only get repeated results, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker. A warrior in real life must first be strong, try to control and use his mind and body, and declare war on his past self. To be a real warrior warrior must learn to meditate on the old man in the movie to get Millman's promise to be a warrior, start by making a determination to change the pattern of life you used to do, such as cleaning, rejecting girls, or training on the toilet, etc. . In the face of these inconspicuous little things, Millman could not bear it. Living in habit, Millman did not understand that the purpose of the old man was to train him in meditation, nor did he feel that the good intentions of the old man were to make him feel his true self. What you have is now. He vented his emotions furiously, looking for true happiness, returning to the incomparable happiness he was accustomed to. Meditation is the source from which one begins to surrender to oneself, the path to plan an ideal future, and the window to discover oneself. When Millman said he trained gymnastics and was proud of himself, the old man said you practice gymnastics and I practice everything. And asked Millman, did your actions make you better? A person who knows how to meditate, like an old man, regards what he is doing as his own training, so he can perceive the various actions and psychology of others, no matter what objects or thoughts are thrown at him, he can perceive them. If you want to control your thoughts, you must first see what your thoughts look like.  The Warriors understand that everything is nothing. When the old man started training Millman, there was such a detail. Millman agreed to attend the appointment but found that he forgot a meeting on the training ground. He hurriedly told the old man that he had other things. When he asked the old man to shorten the meeting time, he did not expect the old man to hit him directly into the river. This move completely shocked Millman. It was also this incident that made Millman experience the experience of eliminating all distracting thoughts and clearing his mind. With this experience, when he got on the pommel horse, he put aside all distracting thoughts and concentrated on the present moment. Made a beautiful move, stunned the coach and classmates, including Millman himself. And when Millman was immersed in the joy of a beautiful performance and thought he had learned a great skill, the old man told him: You are immersed in the joy of the past, and you have learned nothing. At that time, Millman was not particularly aware that what the old man said was the meaning of nothingness on the outside, but he tried to find the answer inward instead of seeking it out. Warriors take the initiative, fools passive what? He shattered all the trophies he once had, as if he had killed himself. Then he went to the old man for support, and the old man told him that everything has meaning, to find its meaning. The old man sees Millman's progress, drinks with him, smokes cigars, and surprises Millman that the old man can live like this? It turns out that each act has its own pleasures and costs. When this is understood, the Warriors will take responsibility for their choices and take responsibility for their actions. Draw your sword at any time and cut through those regrets and fears. Millman took the initiative to confront his former teammate and sincerely apologized. Don't do other people's reactions, but take the initiative to create life. Being able to stand up to yourself is half the battle.  Warriors will not give up what they love and find joy in what Millman does deep. With tears in his eyes, Millman felt that no matter how hard he trained, it was futile, but we couldn't control everything that happened to us. All we could do was do the best we could. He never dared to get on the ring to train proficiently, and never gave up any hope to regain his self-confidence. He used to worry about what if he couldn't do it himself? The old man said: But that is the future. When do you start training? Nothing starts or stops. Everyone can choose to be the victim or anyone in the event they encounter, but warriors can treat everything as training and find fun in it. Living in the here and now, and accomplishing this, is the most important thing. Doing the right thing for a long time is the right life. Millman successfully turned himself from a wounded person who relied on crutches to a ring again, and was able to live in the moment without distractions, and made extraordinary movements, which was affirmed by everyone. He became a true warrior.  Are you here for the summit? When Millman was obsessed with winning and losing the gold medal, the old man took him to climb the mountain. During the three-hour climbing process, the two of them had a good conversation. When Millman saw that the most important place that the old man showed him was the mountain. A stone when he was disappointed. He even expressed his dissatisfaction with emotion. Those people in life who are desperate to make money are just to possess something or a certain name, in order to chase more money and names, forget the joy of sweating in the struggle process, and after having money, they are afraid of losing, and they are not as good as they are. Others, want more, and so on and so forth, is life alive or alive? When you can't get it, you suffer because you want to get it, and after you get it, you're afraid of losing it, but you don't know that nothing is possible. always have. This movie can be said to be a classic, and it hits people's hearts directly. Every confused person can find his heart in it, and every person who wants to be better can find motivation in it, realize why he lives in this life, and never will again. Get lost in the trivialities of life without extricating yourself. Because of all kinds of contradictions in life, it needs humor and fun. Welcome every change with an open heart. This is the rhythm that will never change. May you become a warrior in your heart and take every step in the main battlefield of life. win. When the heart is right, the people are right, and the people are right, the world is right. ,
