1. Know What’s Important
知道什么是重要的
Know what’s important for you. Write down your top 5 things that you believe are the essence of how you want to live life. This can include things like “family time,” or “sing every day.” It could also include more complex ideas, like “honesty” and “simplicity.”
要知道對于自己而言什么是重要的。自己想要過怎樣的生活?把你認為與此相關(guān)最重要的五件事寫下來。這其中可能有“家庭時間”、“每天唱歌”,或者其他一些更為復(fù)雜的想法,比如“誠實”和“淳樸”。
2. Pursue Your Passion
追尋激情
I believe everyone should pursue their passion in life. It’s what makes life worth living, and gives our lives true meaning and purpose. Each time you work on something you love, it creates joy inside you like nothing else. Finding a way to use your passions to give back to the world will give your life ultimate meaning.
我認為每個人都應(yīng)該在生活中追尋激情,這讓人活得有價值并賦予生活意義和追求。每次做自己喜歡的事,總能讓人心生愉悅,其他任何東西都無法與之相比。找到一種向著世界發(fā)揮激情的方式,這會給你的人生帶來極大的意義。
If you can’t manage (or aren’t ready) to work on your passion for a living, be sure and make time for it every day. By working on your passion and becoming an expert in it, you will eventually have the opportunity to make money from it. Be ready to seize that opportunity!
如果你無法(或尚且不能)靠激情來支撐自己的生活,那么至少確保每天有點時間做自己想做的事。如果做自己喜歡的事并成為那個領(lǐng)域?qū)<遥阍缤頃袡C會靠它賺錢的。做好準備抓住機會!
3. Discover Your Life’s Purpose
找到人生目標
If you had to give yourself a reason to live, what would it be? What principles do you hold highest? Is your life’s purpose to help others? Is it to inspire others with great works of art, or you words? Finding your life’s purpose is a daunting task, and when I first heard the idea, I had no idea where to start. For methods on discovering your life’s purpose, I recommend Steve Pavlina’s blog entries on the subject.
如果你需要給自己一個生活的理由,那會是什么呢?你人生最堅持的原則是什么?是用藝術(shù)作品或是文字去激勵他人嗎?找到人生目標是一個艱巨的任務(wù)。我第一次聽到這個的時候也完全沒有頭緒,不知道該從哪里開始。要說尋找人生目標的方法,我推薦史蒂夫·帕夫林那關(guān)于這個話題的博客。
4. Be Self-Aware
要自知
Be aware of yourself and your actions. Remain mindful of what you do at all times, and make sure you are living life according to your principles, your life’s purpose, and what you are passionate about. Review your actions each day. Meditation is a great tool for accomplishing this task. It helps us increase our self-awareness throughout the day.
要有自知之明。不管什么時候,要知道自己在做什么,確保自己的生活方式符合自己的原則、人生目標和自己的激情所在。每天都要反思自己的所作所為。冥想是完成這個任務(wù)的好辦法,可以幫助我們增強自知。
5. Focus
要專注
Rather than chasing 3 or 4 goals and making very little progress on them, place all of your energy on one thing. Focus. Not only will you alleviate some of the stress associated with trying to juggle so many tasks, you will be much more successful. Try and align your goal with something you are passionate about, so that there will be an intrinsic drive to work hard and do well.
把所有的經(jīng)歷放在一件事上,而不是在三、四個目標上有小小的進步。要專注。這樣做,不僅可以幫助你緩解應(yīng)對很多任務(wù)帶來的壓力,還能讓你變得更加成功。試著把你的目標和感興趣的事結(jié)合起來,這樣你就有努力的動力,能夠把事情做好。
6. People More Than Things
人比物重要
Often, we are faced with wanting to buy material goods. I recommend you consider carefully what you purchase, and think more about spending your money on experiences with friends and family. Not only will this give deeper meaning to your life by focusing on your relationships rather than material wealth, but you will be a happier person as a result.
我們經(jīng)常會有想要購買物質(zhì)商品的欲望。我推薦你在準備買東西時仔細想想清楚,更多地想想把金錢花在與家人朋友的經(jīng)歷上去。這不僅能讓你重視人際關(guān)系而非物質(zhì)財富,并以此人生賦予更深刻的意義,而且能讓你變得更開心。
7. Live With Compassion
有同情心
Both for yourself, and others. For some, compassion is the purpose of life, what gives it meaning, and what leads to ultimate happiness.
于己于人都是如此。對于一些人而言,同情心是人生的目標,賦予人生意義,最終讓人獲得快樂。
8. Find a Way to Give Back
找到回報的方法
Do something that both honors your beliefs and passions, while giving something back to the world.
做一些既能滿足自己的信仰和激情、又能回報世界的事。
9. Simplify Your Life
活得簡單
By simplifying your life, you’ll have more time to do what fulfills you and gives your life meaning. It can also help reduce stress and make your overall life easier to manage. It can also greatly improve your productivity.
過簡單的生活,你會有更多的時間充實自己、讓人生有意義。這也有助于減壓,讓你能夠更容易地掌握自己的整個人生。同時,還能很大程度上提高生產(chǎn)力。
10. Set Daily Goals
設(shè)立每日目標
In the morning, before you start your day, create a list of 3 goals that you find fulfilling and meaningful. Make sure they adhere to your set of principles and beliefs. Tackle the hardest things first! Don’t make this list too long. By placing too many things on the list, you’ll feel the urge to multi-task, which is not good, or you’ll feel overwhelmed, which isn’t good either. By trying to do less, you’ll end up doing more.
早上,開始一天的生活之前,為自己定下三個既讓你感到滿足又充滿意義的目標。確保這三個目標符合你的原則和信仰。首先對付最困難的任務(wù)!不要讓目標太多。如果目標太多,你就會想要同時完成多個任務(wù),這樣并不好;你也有可能感到被任務(wù)壓倒,這樣也不好。目標不多,反而能讓你完成更多。
