——The movie is translated as "The Law of Nature: The Law of Attraction"
Personal Rating: 8.5/10

I have read the book before, but I don't remember much if I read it or not. It's just that some of the points and details are fresh in my memory when chatting with friends.

According to the Law of Attraction, I watched this movie because the positive energy in my heart attracted this movie to me. This is actually a very good idea. If many coincidences, luck, and opportunities in life are deduced according to this logic, it is the keynote of the causal theory of Buddhism.

The central idea of ​​: Everything around you is attracted by your thoughts, whether it is good or bad, you can only attract things with the same frequency as your thoughts, including people.
Buddhist causal theory: everything has its consequences, good causes have good results, and bad karma has bad consequences. It is the same with actions, words, and thoughts.
You will find that the two are strikingly similar. It's just that the two pursue different results. teaches you that if you get what you want in the real world, you can achieve yourself in this world. Buddhism, on the other hand, teaches you how to be completely liberated from this world.

The reviews for the film and the book are both extreme, good and bad. There seem to be more bad reviews. Many people use scientific, superstition, etc. arguments to criticize or satirize this law.
Fortunately, I am an idealist myself, and it is in my heart to accept such thoughts. The following are my two main points:

1. According to the rule of 28: 20% of the successful people in the world own 80% of the resources. And 80% of people are struggling to grab the remaining 20% ​​of resources. Why? The difference stems from having "strong beliefs that do not shift for external conditions".

Assuming I was that 20%, I shouldn't be writing this review because I firmly believe in the laws of success, and my daily life and work are guided entirely by the laws, without doubt or hesitation. There is no need to discuss the root itself at all. Fortunately, I realized that I was part of that 80% and tried to get closer to the 20%. So I am willing to believe in this rule.

Recently, I was reading "Seven Efficient Habits of Successful People", and the first point is "proactive". "Proactiveness not only refers to the attitude of acting, but also means that one must be responsible for one's own life. Personal behavior depends on one's own choices, not the external environment. Humans should have the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility to create a favorable external environment." So I really feel that success is not accidental, it is true that only people with strong minds and obeying the laws of nature can succeed. And even if the law of success and the are announced to the world, most people are unwilling to believe it. Even if they believe it, because there is no strong inner support, they will give up after a long time. The result is to continue to fall into that 80%, and his thinking patterns will be more ingrained and more difficult to change.

In the movie, Aladdin always said "You wishes are my commend" (your wishes are my command). The thoughts and desires of ordinary people are always changing, and they are unpredictable. Even if you do have a magic lamp, so what? There were some signs of success just now, but they were stifled by their own indecision.

Therefore, it is very important to have strong beliefs. Be confident that your thoughts will become real!

2. About actions and habits: The law of attraction itself is actually very simple, but the most difficult thing is about action and persistence in action. When your mind is enlightened and you decide to try it, how much action you have and how long you can hold on to it - that's the final point of "success" and "failure."

It's common to see phrases like "When you feel like giving up, think about what made you stick to this moment"; "Don't fall in the dark before dawn". But how many people can persist until they succeed? If we make a statistic, those who complain on the Internet that this is a bad movie should be the ones with the majority of negative thoughts. A person's thinking mode determines his attitude towards the world. If people with negative thoughts in their hearts appreciate the beauty of this world? On the contrary, a person full of positive energy, even if he encounters something unsatisfactory, he can deal with it calmly and turn it into something beneficial to him.

Thoughts determine actions, actions determine habits, habits determine character, and character determines life. When you have positive thoughts and don't act, you still have no control over your life. When you take action and make action a habit. Your life will be successful. Aristotle said: "Man's actions are always repeated. Therefore excellence is not a single act, but a habit"

The interpretation of the word "energy" in the film is very interesting: "The most basic composition of the world is energy The world is created, you can't destroy it, you can't create it, you can only feel it. You are the energy."
Explanation of "God": "He created the world, you can't destroy him, you can't create him, you You can only feel him, you are a derivative of God."
So, you are the only one who can create your own "deserving life".

I like the argument at the end of the movie: "God doesn't know what your life will be like, only you are your own creator, you determine your life and future. Happiness is also in your own hands."

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. we live in the residual of our past." --Buddha
Buddha said: "We are all what we have thought now. As a result of thinking, we live in the continuation of our past."

So, what we have to do is to strive to create our own future with the present!
