问问自己的心:和自己的六次对话

2013-07-22来源:marcandangel

What can you tell yourself that you don’t already know? A whole lot.
如何自己发掘未知呢?办法很多。

In the privacy of your mind you constantly talk to yourself. Your inner monologue might seem pointless at times, but the truth is the act of talking to yourself can help you learn and maintain a positive lifelong trajectory. Therefore, collected below are six effective topics for self-talk, so the next time you talk to yourself you will know exactly what to say.
内心深处你总是在跟自己对话,有时这种自言自语看似不得要领,但却能使你养成并保持积极的习惯。所以请看以下六种自我对话方式,学着下次澄清自己的所向所求吧。

问问自己的心:和自己的六次对话

1. What you love.
你喜欢什么。

When it comes to lifelong labors and dreams, lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only way to work and live.
提起终生职业与梦想,保持中庸并不见得明智,当然过于激进也不行。但热情在工作和生活中确实必不可少。

Invest your thoughts and time in the things you love. Don’t wait around for too long to get involved in something that moves you. Realize how important it is to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, explore it. Get up and go after it. Embrace it, hug it, love it, and above all, let your passion flow freely.
把时间和精力投入到喜欢的事情上,千万别在喜欢的事情面前徘徊不决。积极生活很重要。如果对某件事感兴趣,不要犹豫,赶紧行动,全力以赴去做好,让激情尽情释放吧!

The most important decision you will ever make is what you do with the limited time that has been given to you. Before you know it you’ll be asking, “How did it get so late so soon?” So put your thoughts and time to good use, and let yourself be drawn to the strange pull of what you love – doing so will not lead you astray. Live your life so that when you’re old, you never have to let the person you became fantasize about the person you were capable of being.
最重要的决定就是如何分配有限的时间。你可能常常疑惑“时间怎么过得这么快?”,既然如此,更应该把精力和时间花在热爱的事情上——别担心,你不会因此走火入魔。尽情生活,到老你会欣然发现:你已长成自己渴望的那个人。

2. Your own inner truth.
你的真实自我。

Why worry about what others think of you? Should you have more confidence in their opinions than you do your own?
干嘛担心别人怎么看你?与其相信别人的眼光,不如相信自己的判定!

Truth be told, how others see you is not nearly as important as how you see yourself. To be happy means to live confidently in your own skin – to be faithful to that which exists within you. What you’re doing by being yourself is you’re keeping it real, and you’re being really brave.
说实话,别人怎么看你根本就不重要。要想活得开心,首先要对自己有信心——完全相信自己的潜力。勇敢做你自己!

When you choose to stay true to YOU, some people might refuse to accept you for who you are. Forget them. Rather than being fake and incurring the pain and confusion of trying to be someone you’re not, choose to stand strong, even at the risk of incurring ridicule. When you are comfortable in your skin, not everyone in this world will like you, and that’s perfectly OK. You could be the ripest, juiciest apple in the world, and there’s going to be at least a few people out there who hate apples.
有时当你做真实的自己时,会遭到别人的冷眼。去他们的吧!与其困惑而痛苦地假装他人,倒不如坚强活出自我,哪怕受人挖苦讽刺。不是所有人都喜欢真实的你,但那又怎样!或许你是世上最红最甜的苹果,但要是有人本来就讨厌苹果呢?

3. What you are willing to sacrifice for your goals.
为了目标,你愿意牺牲什么?

When it comes to goal setting, you must be specific. If you find yourself talking to yourself about wanting everything, it means you are treacherously close to achieving nothing. It means you are avoiding the effort required to get anywhere at all.
目标制定必须详细。如果你这也想要那也想要,很可能会一无所获。因为你只想成果而不愿为特定目标付诸切实努力。

Usually, it’s not too difficult to decide what you want your life to look like in a year from now. What is difficult is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things that must be done to get to where you want to go.
通常一年内的目标并不难决定,难的是为了实现目标而甘心作出放弃。

This takes serious commitment, and it requires transient discomfort. When you decide to aim for something higher, you must be willing to suffer a bit of vertigo – the fear of falling. And you must be willing to fight against that voice of emptiness below you which tempts and lures you to believe that you don’t have enough strength to ascend any higher.
你需要全力以赴,还得忍受暂时的苦痛。目标越高,担心失败的困扰也越多。而你则必须战胜内心那个不断引诱你的消极思维,说什么你根本没有足够的能力更上一层楼。
