get peace of mind

If this movie is classified, I am afraid that there are two very easy words "inspirational" that cannot be escaped. Inspiration itself is not easy to twist, what is twisted is the time period to think about it.
It seems that when you are young and ignorant and ignorant, "inspirational" will make a person advance by leaps and bounds like hormones, refresh a person's life, and change a person's life. Such stories are more credible. Now, when people have long formed their own ideas and have stable personalities, it seems strange and out of place to talk about "inspirational".

So what I want to talk about is the way to get peace of mind, the main character Akeelah said that when she was sad because of her father's death, she tried to memorize some words, which made her forget the pain.
Only then did I realize that the reason why I enjoyed memorizing words in my school days was not to get rid of pain, but to gain peace.
How long have you not been concentrating on doing one thing, how long have you not made a long-term plan for a goal?
Many times we give ourselves loose excuses and chaotic reasons, and then we always imagine out of thin air, fabricate the meaning of our existence in this world, or immerse ourselves in our own little emotions.

Love this part of the movie: Our deepest fear is not waht we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually who are you not to be?

Akeelah and the Bee quotes

  • Akeelah: [Javier has just kissed her] Why'd you do that?

    Javier: I had an impulse. Are you gonna sue me for sexual harassment?

    [pause, then they both laugh]

  • Akeelah: [quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

    Dr. Larabee: Does that mean anything to you?

    Akeelah: I don't know.

    Dr. Larabee: It's written in plain English. What does it mean?

    Akeelah: That I'm not supposed to be afraid?

    Dr. Larabee: Afraid of what?

    Akeelah: Afraid of... me?
