带你发现最好的自己：记得常问自己的10个问题

Because the answers to these ten questions will help you discover the very best in yourself…
这十个问题的答案能让你发现最好的自己。

1. What would make you proud of yourself?
什么会让你为自己感到骄傲？

When you follow your heart and intuition, people won’t always agree with you. When you find something that makes you happy, not everyone will be happy for you. When you show unwavering kindness to others, some people will question your motives. When you are honest to the core, some folks will attempt to use your honesty against you.
当你跟随着自己的心和直觉时，大家有可能不会支持你。当你如果找到了让自己开心的事，不是每个人都会为你开心。向别人坦率示好，也许回报的只是别人对你动机的猜疑。对别人真诚，反而这份诚实会被利用。

Don’t let any of these people stop you from doing these things. These people don’t matter. In the end, what does matter is how you feel about yourself and the life you have led. You will ask yourself one question: “Am I proud of how I lived?” Make the answer: “Yes!”
别让任何人阻止你干这些事。那些都是无关紧要的人，最终真正重要的是你对自己和生活的感觉。你可以问自己一个问题：“我对现在的生活满意吗？” 答案必须是：“当然满意！”

2. How can you make a positive difference?
如何进行积极的转变？

Even when it seems like a hopeless effort, do the right thing. Always live firmly by the forces of love and truth. Keep injecting your goodness into the world, one small act at a time. It’s these small acts of goodness stacked together that eventually change the world. You may never see the full result of your positive actions, but they will be accounted for and realized in time. If you do nothing, there will be no result – no positive change ever.
即使看起来是无用功，但也要做正确的事情。永远善待周围的世界，一次做一件小事。正是这一件件小的善事最终改变了我们的世界。也许你无法看到这些善举带来的最终成果，但相信一定会有回报。如果你什么也不做，也就没有任何结果，你看不到任何积极的转变。

3. What are you trying to accomplish and why?
你的目标是什么？为什么？

Know the answer to this simple question and remind yourself of it every single day. You must identify, without any doubt, the specific reason you do the work you do. Success can only occur when there is a target and a reason to hit it.
这个问题很简单，不妨每天提醒一下自己。你必须毫不犹豫的知道做这些事的原因。有了目标和背后的原因，成功才会发生。

When you have a reason to do something, you have a legitimate purpose behind your efforts. When you connect this reason to a desired result, you’re able to summon the discipline and persistence necessary to get the job done. Give yourself a good reason and you will find a way to succeed.
一旦做什么事有了一定的原因，那么你的努力都有了方向感。把这个原因和想要的结果紧紧联系在一起，你就能做到自律和坚持，用心完成任务。给自己一个好的理由，就能找到通往成功的道路。

4. What are the roadblocks standing in your way?
道路上的阻碍是什么？

A roadblock is only a roadblock if you don’t know about it. If you know about it, it’s just a challenge. Look around and evaluate the challenges you face; within them lie the opportunities to make lasting progress. You are in the best position to make the most of these opportunities, because you know exactly where you are, where you want to go, and what resources you have at your disposal.
如果你不知道，那么障碍仅是个障碍而已。如果你知道了它的存在，那么这就是个挑战。看看周围你正在面临的挑战，评估一下，这里是不是有能让你持续进步的机遇。毕竟你知道自己的位置、想去的地方以及手上现有的资源。

Remember that the roughest roads often lead to the top, and the best way to get over a roadblock is to go through it. Thus, you must run toward your challenges with all your might, because the easiest way through them is to trample them beneath your feet. You have what it takes right now. You know what you must do and you know why. Step confidently into your challenges until you reach the road on the other side.
要记住最艰难的路往往是通往成功的，走过路障最好的办法就是直接跨过。你必须用尽全力面对这些挑战，因为想要战胜他们，最简单的办法就是把它们踩在自己的脚下。你知道现在该付出什么。也知道自己该做什么，以及为什么做这些。你要自信的走过这些挑战，直到到达彼岸。

5. What’s the next step?
你的下一步是什么？

Remember, you will never make a bigger mistake than sitting back and doing nothing simply because you can only do a little. So go head and start small. Take a small step, and if you can’t take a small step, take a tiny one. Do what you can with the resources you have right now. Get yourself moving in a positive, productive direction.
记住，只在那坐着什么都不干才是最大的错误，因为你根本没有付出。所以开始行动，从小事做起吧。迈出一小步，即使无法迈出一小步，也迈出细微的一步。用现在拥有的一切资源来行动，让自己朝着积极有效的方向出发。

The best thing about big success is that it comes one step at a time. A flash of success, no matter how small, creates the momentum necessary to create even more success. Every positive step forward puts you in position to take the next one.
关于成功最好的事情莫过于它一次会往前迈进一步。一次成功，无论多小，都为更多的成功创造了无尽的可能。每个积极的前进都能让你离成功更进一步。
