Originally, after listening to Fan Deng's reading, he was going to take a reading note, but out of curiosity, he watched the movie he mentioned in the middle of the way, "The Day of the Groundhog", and felt a special healing, so he wanted to write a post-viewing feeling.
Released in the United States on February 12, 1993, the film is the originator of the infinite loop science fiction film.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the plot of the movie is also very simple:</h1>
A weather program host who has never met a talent, has never reported on any important events, but has been sent to cover "Groundhog Day" for 4 consecutive years.
Groundhog Day is a traditional celebration of this town, which can be understood as a day when the people of the town get together to spend the long winter together and revel in.
On Groundhog Day, the mayor knocks on the door of the groundhog and asks him to predict how long winter will be over. The mayor whispered to the marmot, announced the prediction, and then everyone could party.
The male protagonist thinks that reporting on Groundhog Day is very boring, and he rushes back to the city after a hasty incident.
But the snow closed the road that day, and he had to stay an extra day, but something magical happened: no matter what he did, after 6:00 AM, it was always on the same day, Groundhog Day.
The male protagonist's attempt
The male protagonist began to collapse, and the alarm clock at 6 o'clock in the morning was simply the beginning of a nightmare every day.
However, the collapse did not improve his life every day, and he continued to endure:
Small town style not very good breakfast,
On the road, I suddenly rushed out of the old classmate who had not been seen for a long time to sell insurance with him,
Accidentally stepped into the puddle,
No interesting reports,
Suddenly, the snow that blocks the trip,
The bath water in the hotel is either frozen or burned to death.
Then continue to wake up and live the same day.
In order to change this fate that has been repeated, the male protagonist has tried:
Self-defeating eating and drinking,
Non-stop bubble girls,
Blame the groundhog, choose to die with it.
I have also tried: suicide in a car accident, blowing up, assassination, shooting, poisoning, freezing, hanging, electric shock, burning to death
But every morning I woke up unscathed.
Maybe it's like the famous saying, "He whose eyes are flawed can't find anything else."
After experiencing despair, the male protagonist began to reflect: Since he can't change reality, then do yourself.
He began to read, learn ice sculpture, learn piano, and it seems that the male protagonist began to enjoy life slowly.
However, there was one thing that gave him a head slap, the old man he could see every morning, the begging grandfather on the side of the road, no matter how hard he tried, could not prevent the old man from dying on this day.
People will always...
It also made him realize that he was not a god and could not stop life and death.
Then in this town, find something you can enjoy.
Not only did he read, do ice sculpture, and learn piano, he also taught himself to repair cars, first aid, and even set his alarm clock precisely to save a child who fell from a tree.
In this town, he not only feels but also enjoys, but during this time he also becomes friends with the whole town.
When he began to work hard for a better self, really for the sake of others, and not hypocritical perfunctory socialization, fate began to turn around.
If you bloom, the butterflies will come
The beautiful female colleague he had not been able to pursue before, after seeing the charm he exuded, held out her hand to him.
And the happy ending also followed, when he opened his eyes again, the day of the groundhog did not repeat, the most loved one was at the pillow, time flowed normally, the next day finally came, fate finally changed.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > after-feeling:</h1>
If this movie had been shown to me for two years on the job, I would have felt very indifferent.
There are no intense fight scenes, and there are no shocking special effects screens, and I can't watch it.
But after my third year on the job, I became anxious, confused, helpless, and felt that my life was stuck in a dead cycle: no matter what I did, there was no point.
And this question, along with my life, my work, everything I have, has come to this day.
So, when I saw the following conversation, I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment in my heart:
Man: I repeat the same day every day.
Passerby A: I feel like what you're saying is like my life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="48" > almost didn't cry at the time, wasn't that how my life was? </h1>
Complaining, abusive, negative, nostalgic, bored...
Am I not living a life that repeats day after day like the male protagonist?
It's just that he was really confined to that day, and I didn't know it yet.
Therefore, when I saw that the male protagonist's determination began to change and everything in life was good, I was very happy in my heart.
Because I hope that the male protagonist in the play who has found the joy of life again is myself.
Think about what I look like when I get home every day, holding my phone or brushing the game live broadcast, or brushing the short video, being urged by my wife to take a bath, obviously there are still things that have not been done, but I must drag it until 00:00 to start.
There is no long-term thing to do by self-discipline, and there is no thing that can be done and is worth saying.
Life seems to be such a continuous cycle, watching live broadcasts, watching short videos, anxiety, staying up late, self-blame, insomnia, being late, and touching fish.
It feels like that's it for a lifetime.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="58" > know they're stuck in an endless loop but don't want to change, and they're stuck in it forever. </h1>
Thankfully, though, I made up my mind: I wanted to change.
After watching the movie, I immediately went to ask my wife who was cooking in the kitchen if she needed help.
Last night, I not only helped make a meal, but also took out the garbage and went downstairs to buy dinner
Even control the length of time you watch live streams and swipe short videos (open the app and realize you need to turn them off)
He even posted an article on the public account
What's more, I even took the initiative to admit my mistake in the group at work today, and then invited everyone to drink milk tea.
After doing the above things, nothing else, I feel that "the world is worth it"
If you also feel trapped in an endless loop, ask yourself if you want to change.
Ask yourself again if you really want to change.
Finally, ask yourself where you need to change and how.
If you can answer all three questions in great detail and in a very organized manner.
Congratulations, you're about to harvest a new version of yourself.
If you can't answer, then I recommend you read the book.
If you can't read it, then I recommend you listen to the book.
I am a person who can't read the book, the main reason why I can't read it is no planning, there is no patience, I think if one thing can't be done in a day, I will feel very annoyed and don't want to do it, which will definitely be changed later.
But I can listen to the book, and when I hear it, I will not only sigh, but I will also take a record and try to internalize it.
Because people always have to acquire new knowledge, so that there is a possibility of change.
Like when I hear the movie "Groundhog Day" and don't look it up, how can there be these realizations, and how can there be this article?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > inner energy is the first important</h1>
In the face of inner energy, goals, strategies, persistence, talents, etc., are not so important.
Only yourself make yourself happy, and make yourself want to do things.
This is called life, this is called work.
Otherwise, it's just living, it's just survival.
Although the inner energy can easily be blown away by a gust of wind,
For example, a word from someone else, a look in the eye,
Even a conjecture of one's own,
Or maybe it's really just a gust of wind,
But we still need to learn how to take care of our own joy, that peace,
Until it is strong enough to become subconscious,
And it worked!
This is a picture that healed me very much.
Whenever I don't have energy in my heart, I have to imagine this picture.
Life is a cycle, so why should everything be meaningful?
If you can focus and persevere, you will be happy everywhere
Well
New week,
Take care of your inner energy!!
