生活需要正能量：不要对自己做的15件事

8. Stop thinking you’re not ready. – Nobody ever feels 100% ready when an opportunity arises. Because most great opportunities in life force us to grow beyond our comfort zones, which means we won’t feel totally comfortable at first.
不要总是觉得自己还没有准备好。——当机遇降临时，没有人会百分百完全准备好。因为生活中大部分的机遇会使我们脱离习惯的舒适区，这也就意味着，一切在开始时我们不会感到很自在。

9. Stop trying to compete against everyone else. – Don’t worry about what others are doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.
不要和别人竞争。——不要担心别人做得比你好。集中精力，每天打破自己的记录。成功只是你和你自己之间的战争。

10. Stop being jealous of others. – Jealousy is the art of counting someone else’s blessings instead of your own. Ask yourself this: “What’s something I have that everyone wants?”
不要嫉妒他人。——嫉妒实际上是在历数别人的幸福，而不是自己的。问问自己：“什么东西别人都想要，而我已经拥有了？”

11. Stop doing the same things over and over without taking a break. – The time to take a deep breath is when you don’t have time for it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly.
不要重复做同样的事情也不歇歇。——越是很忙的时候越要休息。如果你一直做同样的事情，你会一直得到相同的结果。有时，你需要自己离远一点儿来把事情看清。

12. Stop overlooking the beauty of small moments. – Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. The best portion of your life will be the small, nameless moments you spend smiling with someone who matters to you.
不要忽视美妙的小瞬间。——享受小事情，因为有一天当你回顾过去时，你会发现它们反而是大事儿。生活中最美妙的部分，是你向对自己重要的人微笑时的那些琐碎又难以形容的时刻。

13. Stop acting like everything is fine if it isn’t. – It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
不如意时，不要假装一切都好。——偶尔的崩溃也未尝不可。不要总是假装坚强，没有必要去证明一切都好。你不要去想别人会怎么想，想哭就哭吧！流流泪对身体有好处。你越早这样做，你就能越快微笑起来。

14. Stop worrying so much. – Worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its joy. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: “Will this matter in one year’s time? Three years? Five years?” If not, then it’s not worth worrying about.
不要过度担心。——担心不会减轻明天的负担，它只会减少今天的快乐。有一种方式可以判断某件事情是不是值得自己仔细思考：“这件事一年以后还重要吗？三年后呢？五年后呢？” 如果答案是否定的，那么它根本就不值得你去烦恼。

15. Stop focusing on what you don’t want to happen. – Focus on what you do want to happen. Positive thinking is at the forefront of every great success story. If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, and you pay close attention, you’ll often find that you’re right.
不要关注你不想发生的事情。——关注你想发生的事情。每个成功故事的首页都写着积极思考。如果你每天早晨醒来，都想着今天生活中会发生的好事儿，多加关注，你会发现事实确实如此。
