每天都可以做的7件小事

Every day I attempt to go about my life with the best intentions. My goal is not to judge the bad days too harshly or the good days with too much jubilation, but to live somewhere in the middle.
每天我都怀着良好的意愿开始生活。我的目标不是遇到糟糕的日子就严厉苛责，或遇到开心的日子就极度喜悦，我的目标是在两者之间生活。

My middle is not filled with mediocrity or an area absent of passion; it’s simply a place of peace, knowing and balance. And part of living in the middle is doing seven simple things every day and then looking for the value in what happens next.
这种生活并不是碌碌无为或没有激情；这只是让人平和、会意并达到平衡。这种生活的一部分是每天做七件事儿，然后看看接下来所发生事情的价值。

1. Wake up early
早起

Early in the morning I am free to start my day on my terms. By waking early, I can set the pace and create a mood that lasts the day. The quiet of my house has a soothing hum that vibrates against my heart. When things get busy later, the memory of this vibration will serve as a reminder to stop and wait for the silence where the truth can be heard once again.
早起可以让我自由地开始新的一天。我可以设定做事的速度，并让好心情持续一整天。寂静的房子让我的心慢慢舒缓开来。等一会儿忙起来时，这种舒缓感觉的回忆能提醒我停下来，等待可以再一次听到真相时的那种寂静。

Give yourself to the early morning. Begin by waking just 15 minutes sooner. Enjoy the taste of your coffee or tea a little longer. Use this time to journal, meditate or pray. Or, if you choose, sit and feel the simple joy of being alive for one more day.
让自己早起吧。可以早15分钟醒来。多享受一会儿咖啡或茶的美味。利用这段时间写写日志、冥想或祈祷。或者，你可以选择，坐着感受一下又能活着一天的那种简单的快乐。

2.Give back.
回馈

I am a lucky man. My family and I have everything we need and most of what we want. It is with a thankful heart that I accept the gifts provided. Every day my intent is to give back so I can express my gratitude.
我是个幸运的人，我和我的家人有所需要的一切以及大部分想要的东西。我怀着一颗感恩的心来接受给我的礼物，每天我都想有所回馈来表达我的感恩之情。

Giving back can be more than just giving money. It can be defined by providing a compliment, making someone’s day a little easier, or taking the time to do what someone can’t do. Giving back is offering a part of you freely and without expecting anything in return.
回馈不仅仅是给钱。它也可以是赞美，或让别人的一天过得容易一点儿，或拿出时间做别人无法做的事情。回馈是自由地帮忙但不期望任何回报。

A simple act of giving can cascade from one person to another until a landslide of gratitude builds up so much momentum that its force can’t be held back any longer. Contribute to this momentum every day to experience its life-changing power.
给予这一简单的行为可以从一个人传递到另一个人，直到感激之情有了压倒性的气势，力量势不可挡。 每天都积累一下这种感激之情吧，来感受一下它改变生活的魔力。

3. Daydream.
做白日梦

Most of what I have today was once a dream. When I was in college, thoughts of having a family and a place to call home were the usual themes. What motivated me was the promise that one day my dreams would come true. And most have.
我今天所做的大部分事情都曾经是梦。当我在大学时，梦中经常出现拥有家人和家时的场景。激励我前行的是我的梦想会成真。而我的梦想大部分都成真了。

You can daydream whenever you wish. You don’t have to close your eyes; you just need to reach down and fetch a dream that may need a little light and some air breathed back into it.
只要你想，就可以遐想。不必闭上眼睛，只需找一个梦想，再加上一盏小灯和一些空气就可以了。
