每天新开始：早上问自己的10个问题

Take a moment and reflect upon this question. It’s important for you to think long term. What do you want to be remembered by? When you’re able to be clear with your legacy, you are more likely to work towards your legacy. I know that for me personally, I want to be remembered as having a meaningful marriage and helping people live a fulfilling and rewarding life. I live with this legacy every single day. Now it’s your turn. What’s your legacy?
花些时间思考这个问题。想的长远一些很重要。你希望被人们记住些什么？当你想清楚了自己想要留下些什么，你就更可能朝着这个目标努力。就我个人来说，我希望人们记住，我拥有一段有意义的婚姻，而且帮助人们过一种充实有益的生活。每一天我都在创造这份遗产。现在轮到你了。你想留下些什么？

7. Am I surrounding myself with positive people?
我总是和积极乐观的人相处吗？

When it comes to your happiness, the people with which you surround yourself will influence you. We are more likely to conform when we are in a group setting. Who are the types of people you hang around with? If you surround yourself with negative people, their negativity will rub off onto you. If you surround yourself with positive people, their energy will rub off onto you. You have the choice of deciding who you’re friends with. If you want to be happy, chose your friends wisely.
说到你的快乐，你选择和哪些人相处也会直接影响到你。在一个群体中我们更倾向于和大家一致。你总是和哪种人相处？如果你选择和那些消极的人相处，他们的消极情绪也会磨去你的光彩。如果你和积极的人相处，他们的正能量也会传递给你。你可以选择和谁成为朋友。如果你想要快乐，择友一定要明智。

8. Where am I now in comparison to where I want to be?
我现在在何处、我又想要去哪里？

It’s important for you to always reflect upon where you currently are and where you want to be in life. Being consciously aware that you are working towards your goals will make you happy. Understand that where you are now is only temporarily. You are constantly growing, learning and developing your mind. Take the time to reflect on your life. Where are you now in comparison to where you want to be? Do you know which direction you’re heading? If not, what changes do you need to make in order to be in the direction you want to be in?
你要时刻认清自己现在的位置以及你想要到达的位置，这是非常重要的。意识到自己正朝着目标努力会让你感到快乐。要明白，你现在的位置只是暂时的。你还在不断成长、学习、发展自己的心智。花些时间思考你的人生。把你现在的位置和你想到达的位置做比较。你知道自己前进的方向吗？如果不知道，你需要作出那些改变，才能让自己朝着想去的方向前进呢？

9. What makes me happy?
什么让我快乐？

This is a very simple question but worth talking about. Take a moment to reflect upon what truly makes you happy. I’m not talking about materialistic possessions or superficial things, like shopping or buying the latest gadget. I’m talking about internal happiness. What speaks to your soul? Focus on feeding your inner being. If you’re looking for long term happiness, it all starts from within.
这个问题很简单，但是却值得讨论。花些时间，想一想到底是什么让你快乐。我不是说物质财富或是那种肤浅的东西，比如购物或者追逐潮流。我说的是内在的快乐。什么在和你的灵魂对话？把注意力放在满足你的内心。如果你在寻求长久的快乐，那都是源于内在的。

10. How am I making a difference in this world?
我能怎样让这个世界有所不同？

We all want to make a difference in this world. Whether it be big or small. Life is about helping others live a better life. Take the time to figure what how you want to make a difference in this world. It can be as small as not littering or as big as becoming the president of the United States. You are in control. You have the option of living a passionately happy life or remaining stuck with where you are. You decide.
我们都想影响这个世界，不论是大还是小。生命的意义在于帮助他人过更好的生活。花些时间，想想，你能怎样让这个世界有所不同。小到不乱扔垃圾，大到成为美国总统。你都可以掌控你自己。你可以选择是充满激情地快乐生活，还是继续被困在原地。一切由你决定。
