These days, I often share my recent feelings and future plans with my best friends. She said that every time I chat with her, I can feel great changes. Every time I talk to her about planning and recent study experience, she asks me a little puzzled, how did you find these resources? I will also call in the middle of the night to talk about the road to growth over the years and ask a question that I can't help but answer: How did you persist in these years?
Perhaps reading, through reading again and again to break their cognitive limitations, gain more experience and knowledge; Perhaps the so-called internal driving force, unwilling to be mediocre, drives you to keep running forward; It's still the result of practicing mind for many years, so that you can still clear the fog and see the farther future in adversity.
Yes, this is really a good thing. Seeing Li Xiaolai's "regarding time as a friend" strengthened this belief. Everyone's spiritual strength is different, and spiritual differences will eventually bring immeasurable value differences to everyone's life.
Taking learning as an example, the thinking process of most people in life is: I don't know what to learn, so why waste this time learning. Therefore, I gave up studying. However, the teacher began to learn computers because he "didn't know what it was for", which saved a lot of time and energy for later book compilation.
Think about yourself in the past, too much, too much pursuit of practicality, just to learn knowledge with immediate interests, work and life are very boring. Two years ago, I happened to sign up for a dance class and began to learn Latin. In order to dance this kind of dance that tests my legs and core strength, I am easily caught by stars from time to time. After dancing for half a year, I want to start fitness throwing, cardio-pulmonary muscle training, core training, mental state and physical health have been greatly improved, and I fell in love with sports.
Then I learned swimming, diving and rock climbing, and often encouraged my friends around me to exercise, abusing my stomach and challenging myself; I plan to go skydiving and surfing this year, and I will sail if I have the chance. Adhering to the principle that you don't need money to dream anyway, just do it. I believe that your wish will always come true, and you will become more wonderful and rich. Who knows if I will be a tall pilot, a jewelry appraiser or just an ordinary happy and secure farmer? You never know, do you?
I have to ask myself, is it useful to learn these things? Honestly, I don't know what's the use. Fitness makes me have a more fit S-shaped figure and a more elegant posture. Is it useful? Swimming and diving allow me to spy out the underwater world and learn more about the ocean. Is it useful? Exercise has strengthened my strength, and I can go home with two suitcases on the shelf. Is it useful? Yeah, well, it helps, at least it's not helpless anymore.
But compared with useful, I think, these two years of life from boring to full of fun, is the biggest gain in this learning attempt! From nothing interesting to see and nothing interesting to learn, to everything curious and everything wonderful to learn, I feel that I am getting richer and richer. Try because you like to play, learn because you are interesting, start not to set limits for yourself, and start to be curious about the world. This unsatisfied curiosity is probably part of the spiritual strength that Li Xiaolai said.
Because I am curious, I keep trying to explore, so I have cultivated many hobbies: fitness dancing, practicing piano and arranging flowers, writing and reading. It is also because of the attempt that I summed up my own set of methods to find the right interest: try, work hard, achieve 80 points, and then see if I can enjoy it.
After cooking several times, I found that my cooking was not bad, but I never realized the fun of cooking as everyone said. The fifth Zen painting from scratch is very good, but in my spare time, I would rather practice piano writing than draw.
Well, after many twists and turns, I finally understand that although cooking and painting look rich and interesting, I really don't love them, which makes me resolutely give up my dream of becoming a chef and painter. Although I still can't calmly tell what I am really interested in and what I seem to be interested in, at least, I found a way to help me distinguish.
What about you? What are you interested in? Take time to ask yourself, what are you interested in doing well? Are you not interested in what you are good at? A lot of things really just look interesting. What are you good at and what do you like? Only you can find the answer.
If you, like me, find your own interest, then congratulations, you have a hobby that you are willing to spend time and energy, and even fight for. If you don't have a hobby of your own, congratulations, you can feel the strong happiness of finding your hobby for the first time, really, it's better than a raise and promotion ~
Once you fall in love with something and devote yourself wholeheartedly to it, it is easy to become more confident because of the sense of accomplishment you have gained constantly, so that you have more control over other things in your work and life, are better at solving problems and are more willing to meet challenges.
Speaking of interest, I have to say my favorite word "love". Let me see, I am still a person who loves life, challenges, fantasy and even a little work. After trying to experience these two years, I found that I love more and more things; I also gradually found that the original "love" will migrate. When I began to feel crazy about one thing, I found that other things in my life became more and more lovely.
Work is not so bad, interpersonal relationships are not so complicated, and the world has become more colorful. I devote myself to my life and work, and I can't help saying a few words every day. I love life and work, and it's really hard to love or not. In turn, investment nourishes the sense of accomplishment and inspires more "love".
Doing everything you love, and constantly giving yourself positive feedback through self-suggestion and recording small achievements at any time, so that you can be full of passion and blood while studying and paying for various hobbies. Latin, for example, is practiced day after day, and several actions are repeated round after round, and the students around you change wave after wave. After practicing basic skills for two years, I still can't dance a song; Even so, I never thought about giving up, because I love its rigidity and softness, its control, its nobility and vitality, so I don't need to insist at all. There is only one thought in my mind: as long as I keep dancing, I can dance for ten years.
If you like, I think you can spend time practicing. Just like a swimming teacher whose teeth itch when he doesn't swim during the Spring Festival, like a book friend who feels uncomfortable when he doesn't read for a day, like a panic when he doesn't dance for two weeks, these hobbies will eventually go deep into your bone marrow and become a part of you. And future achievements are only the inevitable result.
Love is the highest way I can think of to persist.
