Do you feel like your life could be happier? You know things are going okay, but you just feel that they could be better. What if I told you that it could be as simple as just changing your attitude? I truly believe that it completely hinges on our perspectives. Only you can decide if you are going to be happy. This also ripples its way into other areas of our lives.

你是否覺得自己可以生活得更快樂一點?你知道自己活得還不錯，但就是想過得更快樂一些。如果我告訴你只要改變你的態度，你就能活得更快樂，聽起來是不是很簡單呢?我真的認為，一切都取決于我們的態度。只有你才能決定是否要快樂地生活，而這個決定也會改變生活中的其他方面。

So what are some easy ways that you can quickly set your mood and attitude for the day? Try these techniques to bring greater happiness and success into you and change your life today:

那么，有沒有一些簡單的方法可以讓你快速地設定自己一天的情緒和態度呢?下面這些技巧就可以帶給你更大的快樂和成功，試試吧，從今天就開始改變你的生活：

1.Start each day by making a list of things you’re grateful for. You can do this while you’re lying in bed just before you get up, in the shower, or while driving to work. Can you create a grateful habit?

1.從列出感激清單開始一天的生活。你可以在早上還沒起床、躺在床上的時候做這件事，也可以在沖涼或者開車去上班的時候列出感激清單。你能養成心懷感激的習慣嗎?

2.Love life, not stuff.Simpler is better. The feeling of excitement when you buy something wears off pretty fast, so focus more on living your life and create memories. The quality of your life itself is what will bring you the most happiness, not the quantity or quality of your stuff.

2.熱愛生活，而不要愛上物質。越簡單越好。消費帶來的快感很快就會散去，因此應該要更多地關注于生活、創造回憶。生活質量取決于能給你帶來快樂的是什么，而不是你擁有多少或者多好的物質生活。

3.Be patient.Enjoy the journey of creating the life you desire. Each day will bring you one step closer.

3.耐心一點。盡情享受創造理想生活的過程。每一天你都會離目標更近一步。

4.Believe and have faith in yourself. Life is much more pleasant when you have faith in yourself. Remember: You’ve probably already done things that are much more difficult than just about anything you may still wish to accomplish. Do you need more motivation?

4.相信自己。當你相信自己的時候，生活會變得更快樂。記住：比起那些你想要去完成的事情，已經完成的事情實際上接受的考驗要難得多。這樣，你還需要更多的激勵嗎?

5.Smarter not harder. We often believe that anything worthwhile requires a lot of work. That’s definitely not true. Really, I think we often make things much harder than they have to be.

5.更聰明地做事，而不是更刻苦。我們往往認為，值得做的事情就需要花費很多功夫。這種觀點并不正確。事實上，我認為我們常常把簡單的事情搞復雜了。

6.There’s no such thing as failure.Each time your plans fall short, learn from the experience, and continue moving forward. The knowledge gained only makes you more capable in the future.

6.世上并沒有“失敗”這件事。每次當你的計劃失敗了，那就從中學一點經驗教訓，然后繼續前行。你從失敗中學到的東西只會讓你在未來變得更有能力。

I bet you can think of some that are smarter, that fill you with believe in yourself and will motivate you along your life journey. Take these ideas to get started. You will find the process of adjusting those negative attitudes will lead to a happier tomorrow.

我想你還能想出其他一些更聰明的方法來讓自己充滿信念、激勵自己在人生的道路上走得更好。先從上面的這些做法開始實踐吧。你會發現，調整消極態度的過程會給你帶來更加幸福的明天。
