生活不只是生存：10个方法让你过更有意义的生活

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.
犯购物欲的时候，建议你三思而后行，想想这些钱可以花在朋友和家人上的。把人生的重心放在家人、朋友上而非物质财富，这让你的人生有更深沉的意义，你也将变得更幸福。

7. Live With Compassion
生活需要同情心

Both for yourself, and others. Keep in mind the following quote:
对于自己和他人，请牢记以下的名言：

"One must be compassionate to one's self before external compassion." For some, compassion is the purpose of life, what gives it meaning, and what leads to ultimate happiness.
“一个人只有对自己有同情心，才能对外界有同情心。” 对于有些人，同情心是生活的目标，与生命带来意义并指向最终的幸福。

8. Find a Way to Give Back
懂得回报

Do something that both honors your beliefs and passions, while giving something back to the world. By giving something back, we inevitably find purpose in the act. By cultivating more of these activities, you will find your life has more meaning and purpose behind it.
做自己所相信的、所爱的，又能回报世界的事。回报世界，我们能够找到人生的价值。多做这样的事，你将发现人生充满了意义和目标。

9. Simplify Your Life
让生活更简单

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. If you’ve never tried to simplify things before, it really is a great feeling.
让生活更简单，你将有更多的时间能够投入让生活更有意义的事情中去，减少压力，让生活来得更轻松。同时还能大幅度提升效率。简化生活起来，感觉真的很棒！

10. Set Daily Goals
设定每日目标

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，别着急展开一天的生活，先列出你认为最有意义的三项目标。确保这三项与你的原则、信念相符。然后从最困难的那一项开始。不要一下子设立过多的目标，如果目标太多，你会有同时处理很多事情的冲动或者喘不过气来的感觉，这都是不好的。目标定的少，成就就来得多。

Doing all of these things at once may seem daunting, but you can pick one thing at a time and slowly incorporate the ideas into your life. Life is about the journey, not the destination. Living a life of purpose gives both fulfillment and meaning to your journey.
如果同时做这10件事情的话会很艰难，不过你可以一次做一项，然后将慢慢的将这10项融入到生活中去。生活是旅行本身，而不是目的地。有目标的生活让你的旅程更有意义和满足感。
