In the privacy of your mind you constantly talk to yourself. Your inner monologue might seem pointless at times, but the truth is the act of talking to yourself can help you learn and maintain a positive lifelong trajectory. Therefore, collected below are six effective topics for self-talk, so the next time you talk to yourself you will know exactly what to say.
內(nèi)心深處你總是在跟自己對(duì)話(huà)，有時(shí)這種自言自語(yǔ)看似不得要領(lǐng)，但卻能使你養(yǎng)成并保持積極的習(xí)慣。所以請(qǐng)看以下六種自我對(duì)話(huà)方式，學(xué)著下次澄清自己的所向所求吧。
1. What you love.
你喜歡什么。
When it comes to lifelong labors and dreams, lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only way to work and live.
提起終生職業(yè)與夢(mèng)想，保持中庸并不見(jiàn)得明智，當(dāng)然過(guò)于激進(jìn)也不行。但熱情在工作和生活中確實(shí)必不可少。
Invest your thoughts and time in the things you love. Don’t wait around for too long to get involved in something that moves you. Realize how important it is to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, explore it. Get up and go after it. Embrace it, hug it, love it, and above all, let your passion flow freely.
把時(shí)間和精力投入到喜歡的事情上，千萬(wàn)別在喜歡的事情面前徘徊不決。積極生活很重要。如果對(duì)某件事感興趣，不要猶豫，趕緊行動(dòng)，全力以赴去做好，讓激情盡情釋放吧!
The most important decision you will ever make is what you do with the limited time that has been given to you. Before you know it you’ll be asking, “How did it get so late so soon?” So put your thoughts and time to good use, and let yourself be drawn to the strange pull of what you love – doing so will not lead you astray. Live your life so that when you’re old, you never have to let the person you became fantasize about the person you were capable of being.
最重要的決定就是如何分配有限的時(shí)間。你可能常常疑惑“時(shí)間怎么過(guò)得這么快?”，既然如此，更應(yīng)該把精力和時(shí)間花在熱愛(ài)的事情上——?jiǎng)e擔(dān)心，你不會(huì)因此走火入魔。盡情生活，到老你會(huì)欣然發(fā)現(xiàn)：你已長(zhǎng)成自己渴望的那個(gè)人。
2. Your own inner truth.
你的真實(shí)自我。
Why worry about what others think of you? Should you have more confidence in their opinions than you do your own?
干嘛擔(dān)心別人怎么看你?與其相信別人的眼光，不如相信自己的判定!
Truth be told, how others see you is not nearly as important as how you see yourself. To be happy means to live confidently in your own skin – to be faithful to that which exists within you. What you’re doing by being yourself is you’re keeping it real, and you’re being really brave.
說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà)，別人怎么看你根本就不重要。要想活得開(kāi)心，首先要對(duì)自己有信心——完全相信自己的潛力。勇敢做你自己!
When you choose to stay true to YOU, some people might refuse to accept you for who you are. Forget them. Rather than being fake and incurring the pain and confusion of trying to be someone you’re not, choose to stand strong, even at the risk of incurring ridicule. When you are comfortable in your skin, not everyone in this world will like you, and that’s perfectly OK. You could be the ripest, juiciest apple in the world, and there’s going to be at least a few people out there who hate apples.
有時(shí)當(dāng)你做真實(shí)的自己時(shí)，會(huì)遭到別人的冷眼。去他們的吧!與其困惑而痛苦地假裝他人，倒不如堅(jiān)強(qiáng)活出自我，哪怕受人挖苦諷刺。不是所有人都喜歡真實(shí)的你，但那又怎樣!或許你是世上最紅最甜的蘋(píng)果，但要是有人本來(lái)就討厭蘋(píng)果呢?
3. What you are willing to sacrifice for your goals.
為了目標(biāo)，你愿意犧牲什么?
When it comes to goal setting, you must be specific. If you find yourself talking to yourself about wanting everything, it means you are treacherously close to achieving nothing. It means you are avoiding the effort required to get anywhere at all.
目標(biāo)制定必須詳細(xì)。如果你這也想要那也想要，很可能會(huì)一無(wú)所獲。因?yàn)槟阒幌氤晒辉笧樘囟繕?biāo)付諸切實(shí)努力。
Usually, it’s not too difficult to decide what you want your life to look like in a year from now. What is difficult is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things that must be done to get to where you want to go.
通常一年內(nèi)的目標(biāo)并不難決定，難的是為了實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)而甘心作出放棄。
This takes serious commitment, and it requires transient discomfort. When you decide to aim for something higher, you must be willing to suffer a bit of vertigo – the fear of falling. And you must be willing to fight against that voice of emptiness below you which tempts and lures you to believe that you don’t have enough strength to ascend any higher.
你需要全力以赴，還得忍受暫時(shí)的苦痛。目標(biāo)越高，擔(dān)心失敗的困擾也越多。而你則必須戰(zhàn)勝內(nèi)心那個(gè)不斷引誘你的消極思維，說(shuō)什么你根本沒(méi)有足夠的能力更上一層樓。
