人生轻松前行：我们应该抛在脑后的10个想法

A new way of thinking has become the necessary condition for responsible living and acting. If you want to move forward, you must change your way of thinking and leave these thoughts behind you:
负责任的生活和行为方式需要新的思维方式。如果你想要继续前行，你就必须改变思维方式，把这10种想法抛在脑后：

1. “I don’t have a choice.”
我别无选择。

You write your own destiny through the choices you make. You become what you repeatedly do. It is more important to know where you are going and why, than to get there quickly. Every time you are tempted to react to the same old circumstances in the same old way, ask yourself, “Do I want to be a prisoner of the past, or a pioneer of the future?”
所当你做下选择，你就写下了自己的命运。你重复做什么样的事，你就会成为什么样的人。与其想着迅速到达目的地，还不如清楚知道自己要去哪，为什么要去。每当你被诱惑在相同的环境里用相同的方式去做什么事时，问问自己：“我要做过去的囚犯，还是成为未来的开拓者？”

2. “Life is easy.”
生活很容易。

Life is NOT easy, it IS difficult. That’s the greatest truth there is. It’s great because once you understand and accept this truth, you can move forward with your life. Once you thoroughly know in your heart and mind that life is difficult, then life gets a lot easier to deal with. Because once difficulty is accepted as a foundation, it no longer surprises you or stops you from building a lifestyle that rises above it.
生活不易，它其实很艰难，那也是生活最伟大的事实。这是因为一旦你懂得并接受了这个事实，你的生活将会勇往前行。当你在心中彻底明白了生活的艰难，那生活会变得更加容易应对。因为困难一旦被视为事实和前提，那么它就再也不会让你惊讶，再也不会阻碍你去建立一个更好的生活方式。

3. “The way it is now is the way it will always be.”
现在是什么样子，将来就是什么样子。

Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because it’s stormy now, doesn’t mean you aren’t headed for sunshine. And remember, you cannot heal a lifetime of pain overnight; be patient with yourself, it takes as long as it takes, but your happiness is worth the wait.
你要去的目的地，和通往目的地的道路，这两个别弄混了。不要因为现在狂风暴雨，就确定日后不会阳光普照。要记住，一生的疼痛不可能一夜之间治愈，对自己耐心点，它该花多长时间就花多长时间，幸福值得等待。

4. “The sky is falling.”
天快塌下来了。

When everything in your life is coming together, you can hold on to the belief that ‘everything happens for a reason’ with frivolous ease. But when everything’s falling apart – your relationships, your health, your finances, etc. – it takes tremendous effort to wrap your mind and heart around that belief and hold onto it for dear life. Yet you must. For in that belief lies your hope, your courage, and your strength to move forward.
当生活中的一切都非常美好时，你可以轻轻松松相信：“任何事情的发生都是有原因的”。但当感情、健康、金钱等等一切分崩离析时，你得用尽全力才能坚持这个信念，你必须去坚持。因为这个信念里有你的希望，你的勇气和你继续前行的动力。

5. “Everyone else is doing better than me.”
别人都比我做得好。

Do not feed your insecurities, or they will consume you. Sometimes the reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes circumstances with everyone else’s public highlight reel. We listen to the noise of the world, instead of ourselves. So stop the comparisons; listen to your own inner voice and your own soul.
不要再去纵容自己那点不安全感了，有一天它们会毁了你。有时我们纠缠于不安全感，是因为我们把自己的幕后和他人的台前光环进行比较（缺点比优点）。我们听着来自世界的各种噪音，就是不去倾听自己的内心。所以停止比较，听听自己的内心，自己的灵魂世界吧！
