Do you believe the happiness of your life has anything to do with the quality of your thoughts?
你覺(jué)得自己的生活幸福與否，與你的想法是否積極有關(guān)嗎？

Let me tell you about my friend Matt if you don't.
如果你不這樣認(rèn)為，我想把我的朋友Matt的故事告訴你。

Several months ago I was asked to be FB friends with a guy named Matt.
幾個(gè)月前，我在臉書(shū)網(wǎng)上收到了好友申請(qǐng)，發(fā)出申請(qǐng)的是一個(gè)名叫Matt的人。

I was told that Matt had been in a terrible motorcycle accident in June of 2017.
后來(lái)我得知，就在2017年6月，Matt剛剛經(jīng)歷了一場(chǎng)嚴(yán)重的摩托車車禍。

As a result of that accident, Matt's wife died.
車禍帶走了Matt的妻子。

If that wasn't horrific enough Matt broke 42 bones and was burned over 33% of his body.
更殘酷的是，Matt本人有42處骨折，全身燒傷面積超過(guò)了33%。

Matt spent 2 months in the Cleveland Metro burn unit, 1 month in rehab and another 9 months in therapy .
Matt在Cleveland Metro的燒傷病房里呆了兩個(gè)月，又花了一個(gè)月做復(fù)健，接受了九個(gè)月的心理輔導(dǎo)。

At first, they were not sure that Matt would even live.
一開(kāi)始，人們對(duì)Matt能否活下來(lái)都心存懷疑。

Then he received the not so encouraging report it was doubtful he would ever walk again.
接著，Matt又接到一份檢查報(bào)告，情況不太好，他可能再也無(wú)法行走了。

If there was anyone who could have fallen into a pit of self-pity you would believe it could be Matt.
或許你會(huì)認(rèn)為，Matt一定會(huì)陷入自怨自艾的深淵不能自拔。

But that is not what Matt chose to do.
然而Matt卻選擇了另一種活法。

Matt worked hard in rehab and therapy .
他非常積極的接受復(fù)健治療和心理輔導(dǎo)。

He not only lived, but he can also walk!
他不僅活下來(lái)了，還重新下地走路了！

Believe it or not, Matt went back to work this past April!
更令人不敢相信的是，今年4年，他就重新回歸工作了！

How about that!
多么令人震驚！

Matt put the following quote on FB.
Matt的臉書(shū)網(wǎng)上有一則簽名。

When I read the quote tears filled my eyes knowing all Matt had been through.
當(dāng)我讀到這則簽名的時(shí)候，我想到Matt所經(jīng)歷的一切，眼淚溢滿了我的眼眶。

Here's the quote:
那則簽名是這樣的：

"Train your mind to see the good in everything.
“訓(xùn)練自己的感受能力，感受萬(wàn)物積極的一面?！?/div>

Positivity is a choice.
你可以選擇積極的面對(duì)一切。

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts."
你的生活幸福與否，取決于你的心態(tài)是否積極。

Matt has a new goal now to write a book and share his story to help others.
Matt現(xiàn)在有一個(gè)新目標(biāo)，他想寫一本書(shū)，把他的故事與讀者分享，幫助更多的人。

Most people don't like to do public speaking but Matt wants to do that too.
大多數(shù)人不喜歡在公開(kāi)場(chǎng)合演講，而Matt卻想做一番嘗試。

My friend Matt is a true inspiration!
我的朋友Matt的故事充滿了正能量！
