问问自己的心：和自己的六次对话

Sometimes the human mind operates in mysterious ways when it comes to achievements and happiness. We dream of something and we wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to arrive. Then it does and it’s over, and all we really want is to curl back up in that moment before things change again.
有时成功和幸福来得太突然，唬得人们猝手不及：我们是那么渴望，等了又等，总以为成功还遥遥无期，然而它却瞬间昙花般出现了，于是我们惊愕，满心期望一切能再演绎一次。

Although there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a fulfilled dream, you must realize that it’s just one small moment of your life. Like every other moment, this one instance of victory is fleeting. Lifelong happiness is not found in any one particular moment, it’s found in all the moments and memories leading up to our inevitable sunset – all the small victories of each day that fall between the big events.
尽情享受胜利时刻无可厚非，但也得提醒自己：这只是人生中的一个小插曲罢了。这点成功也会成为过往。人生的幸福不在于这一时半刻的成功，而在于漫漫岁月中的所有胜利和回忆——积少成多，小胜利终将汇成大喜悦！

Ultimately you will realize that your highest aspirations should just be a target – a point on the horizon to step towards. You may not ever reach it, but you can always look up after every small step and see beauty of where that step has taken you.
最后或许你会发现，你最渴求的目标只有一个——它远远发着光，等着你去追寻。或许它总是可望而不可及，但你总能仰望着它，一点一点靠近，享受沿途的风景。

5. How to help others.
如何帮助他人。

Talk yourself into helping someone today.
试着帮助他人吧。

No exercise is better for your heart and mind than reaching down and helping others up. Happiness and success in life doesn’t come through selfishness, but through selflessness. Everything you do comes back around to you.
再没什么比帮助他人更能愉悦身心了。幸福圆满的生活不是来自自私，而是得益于无私。更何况，好心总会有好报。

The best way to feel alive is to get up and do something positive for someone else. Don’t wait around for good things to happen in this world. If you go out and make good things happen, you will fill the world with happiness and you will make yourself smile in the process.
想要尽情生活？那就热情帮助他人！不要总等着幸运降临，而应自己创造幸运，这样你会发现生活充满欢乐。

Greet people with positivity. Encourage them. Compliment them. Lend them a helping hand. Notice their progress, cheer them on and make them smile. Love and kindness is contagious. The more happiness and success you help others find, the more happiness and success you will find every single day of your life.
热情跟人打招呼。鼓励赞美他人，向他们伸出援手，关注他们的进步，为他们加油鼓劲，让他们开心快乐。你传递的快乐越多，收获也就越多。

6. The immediate reality of your own happiness.
创造自己的快乐。

Right now, you have more than enough to be happy.
现在，你一定有足够的理由快乐。

Right now, you have the full capacity to find something small to celebrate.
现在，你绝对能从细微之处发掘快乐。

Right now, you have a choice to make.
现在，选择权就在你的手中！

Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy. True happiness comes from within, when you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions, and when you choose to focus on what you have, not what you haven’t.
别再傻傻等着别人给你带来快乐。真正的快乐源于内心——只要你不让别人影响你的情绪，只要你珍惜拥有、淡看没有。

One of the great secrets to happiness is to pay more attention to the beginnings than the endings. So many people say they want a new life, but then they take the new one they get every morning for granted. Don’t do this. Don’t wait until your life is almost over to realize how great it has been. A great life begins right now, when you stop wanting a better one.
快乐的一大秘诀就是：多注重开头而非结果。很多人都说要过新生活，但新的一天开始时，他们却浑然不觉。真不应该啊！千万别等白了头才幡然悔恨。新生活就是当下，别再徒然期待将来如何如何了！

Scream it out loud: “Life is good!”
大声呐喊吧——“生活很美好！”
