Each of us has a fire in our hearts burning for something. It’s our responsibility in life to find it and keep it lit. This is your life, and it’s a short one. Don’t let others extinguish your flame. Try what you want to try. Go where you want to go. Follow your own intuition. Dream with your eyes open until you know exactly what it looks like. Then do at least one thing every day to make it a reality.
我們每個人內心都有一把燃燒著的火,我們活著的責任是尋找它,并保持它的光芒。這是你的人生,短暫的一生。不要讓其他人熄滅了你的火焰,嘗試你想嘗試的事情,去你想去的地方,聽從你的直覺。睜開雙眼去夢想,直到你清晰地看到它是什么樣子。然后為了能實現它,保證每天至少做一點。
And as you strive to achieve your goals, you can count on there being some fairly substantial disappointments along the way. Don’t get discouraged, the road to your dreams may not be an easy one. Think of these disappointments as challenges–tests of persistence and courage. At the end of the road, more often than not, we regret what we didn’t do far more than what we did.
當你竭力去達成你的目標時,你會遭遇一些挫傷內心的沮喪。不要氣餒,通往夢想的道路并不平坦。把這些失落當做挑戰——對毅力和勇氣的考驗。到了終點時,我們常常后悔我們還有很多事沒去做。
2. I am proud of myself.
我為自己感到自豪。
You are your own best friend and your own biggest critic. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Accept everything about yourself–EVERYTHING!You are you and that is the beginning and the end–no apologies, no regrets.
你是你自己最好的朋友,又是你自己最大的敵人。不論其他人的意見,一天到頭時,在鏡中給你的唯一映像是你自己。接納自己的一切,一切!你是你,從頭至尾就是你——無需歉意,不要后悔。
People who are proud of themselves tend to have passions in life, feel content and set good examples for others. It requires envisioning the person you would like to become and making your best efforts to grow.
那些會為自己感到自豪的人常常會對生活充滿激情,感到滿足,為他人樹立好的榜樣。你要想象你想成為的人,然后付出你最大的努力去實現。
Being proud isn’t bragging about how great you are;it’s more like quietly knowing that you’re worth a lot. It’s not about thinking you’re perfect–because nobody is–but knowing that you’re worthy of being loved and accepted. All you have to do is be yourself and live the story that no one else can live–the story of your own unique life. Be proud, be confident, you never know who has been looking at you wishing they were you.
為自己驕傲,不是要吹噓你有多偉大;默默地知道自己存在的價值。不要想著你是完美的——因為沒人是完美的——但你要知道你是值得被人愛和被人接納的。所有你要做的是成為你自己,創造一段故事,其他人都不能取代的生活故事,你自己的獨一無二的生活故事。要自豪、要自信,你不會知道會有誰在看著你,他們心里想著希望能成為你。
3. I am making a difference.
我在改變。
Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
要像你做的事情會帶來改變一樣去行動,的確會帶來改變。
Is it true that we all live to serve?That by helping others we fulfill our own destiny?The answer is a simple‘yes. ’When you make a positive impact in someone else’s life, you also make a positive impact in your own life. Do something that’s greater than you–something that helps someone else to be happy or to suffer less.
我們所有人活著是為了服務,是這樣的嗎?幫助他人,我們完成了我們的使命?答案是“是的”。當你對他人的生活產生積極的影響時,積極的影響也帶到了你的生活里。做些比你更偉大的事——做一些幫助他人感受快樂或減少痛苦的事。
You are only one, but you are one. You cannot do everything, but you can do something. Smile and enjoy the fact that you made a difference–one you’ll likely remember forever.
你是唯一的一個,但你只是一個人。你不可能包攬所有事,但你可以完成一些事。微笑,直面那些你改變了的事實——比如一件你會永遠記住的事。
4. I am happy and grateful.
我很快樂,我很感激。
Happiness is within you, in your way of thinking. How you view yourself and your world are mindful choices and habits. The lens you choose to view everything through determines how you feel about yourself and everything that happens around you.
快樂在你心中,是你思維的表現。你如何看待自己和世界是源自頭腦的選擇和習慣。你選擇來觀察事物的鏡頭,決定了你如何感受自己以及發生在你周圍的一切事。
Being grateful will always make you happy. If you’re finding it hard to be grateful for anything, sit down close your eyes and take a long slow breath and be grateful for oxygen. Every breath you take is in sync with someone’s last.
時刻充滿感激之心會讓你保持快樂。如果你覺得心存感激很困難,那坐下來閉上眼睛,來一次長而慢的呼吸,感受對空氣的謝意。你的每一次呼吸是某些人的最后一次呼吸。
5. I am growing in to the best version of me.
我在成長為最好的自己。
Judy Garland once said, "Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else. " Live by this statement. There is no such thing as living in someone else’s shoes. The only shoes you can occupy are your own. If you aren’t being yourself, you aren’t truly living–you’re merely existing.
朱迪·嘉蘭曾說過,“時刻做一流的自己,而不是二流的其他人。” 以此為戒指導生活。沒有人能活在其他人的影子里。你唯一能做到的就是成為你自己。如果你做不到,你不是在生活——你只不過是活著而已。
Remember, trying to be anyone else is a waste of the person you are. Embrace that individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else. Be the person you know yourself to be–the best version of you–on your terms. Improve continuously, take care of your body and health, and surround yourself with positivity. Become the best version of you.
記住,努力成為其他人是一種浪費。敞開懷抱去迎接一個有思想、有力量、有審美眼觀的自己。成為你知道自己能成為的那種人,在有限的時光里做最好的自己。不斷提升,照顧好自己的身體健康,保持積極向上的生活態度,成為最好的自己。
