生命中不值得我们去做的10件事
人的一生,总会有许多十字路口,向左,还是向右,迷茫的我们无从判断。这10件不值得我们去做的事,让自己在人生选择时知道该选择什么,放弃什么,不要再迷茫。
1. Stop spending time with the wrong people.
不要花时间和错误的人相处
Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the ones who stand beside you when you’re at your worst that are your true friends.
人生苦短,没有必要和那些令你不快乐的人纠缠。如果那个人需要你,你不需要刻意去做什么,他/她自然会留出你的位置。绝对不要和那些低看了你价值的人在一起。记住,一帆风顺时守在自己身边并不珍贵,当你深陷困境却依然和你并肩在一起的才是真正的朋友。
2. Stop running from your problems
不要逃避问题
Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living - to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.
直面并解决问题。没错,这很不容易。世上没有人能够轻松的渡过每一个难关。 也没有人就能不停地轻松地战胜困难。事实上,我们本就该迷茫,伤心,难过,出差错,因为那是生活的意义所在——去面对问题,去学习,去适应,随着时间的发展学会解决问题,塑造了我们成为什么样的人。
3. Stop lying to yourself
不要欺骗自己
You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.
你可以对世界上任何一个人撒谎,唯独不能跟自己撒谎。只有我们不断接受挑战,生活才能前进,然第一个也是最难的挑战就是诚实的面对自己。
4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner
不要把自己的需求排在最后
The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.
世界上最悲惨的事情是,太爱某一个人而丢失了自己,忘记了自己也是不一样的存在。是的,要帮助别人,但是更要爱护自己。如果你从没有跟从自己的内心,从没有为自己做些重要的事情,那现在就开始。
5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not
不要强迫自己成为理想的别人
One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
世上最大的挑战就是将自己改变成为另一个人。总有人更加漂亮,总有人更聪明,总有人更年轻,但他们都不是你。不要为了让别人更喜欢自己而去强迫自己改变。做自己,对的人会爱真正的你。
6. Stop trying to hold onto the past
不要总是攥着过去
You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
如果你一直重读昨天,那很难翻开人生新的篇章。
7. Stop being scared to make a mistake
不要害怕犯错
Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
不断尝试,哪怕是错了,也比什么都不做好十几倍。每份成功背后都有无数的失败,每一次失败都是通往成功的尝试。你会为没有做过的事情后悔而不是去尝试了的。
8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes
不要为过去的错误而折磨自己
We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
我们也许会错爱过某个人,为某件错事而哭泣,但是不论多大的错事,可以确定的是,错误的人或事会帮我们找到适合自己的人或事。我们都会犯错,都会挣扎,甚至后悔过去做的事情。但是如今,你不是曾经犯错误的你,更不是曾经不停挣扎着的你,你是全新的自己,那个有能力塑造新的现在和未来的你。曾经发生的每一件事都是在为将要到来的时刻做准备。
9. Stop trying to buy happiness
不要试图“购买”幸福
Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free - love, laughter and working on our passions.
我们想要的很多东西都非常昂贵。但事实是,真正适合我们的事情往往都是免费的--真爱,微笑,激情的工作。
10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness
不要幻想通过其他人来获得幸福
If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.
如果你对内在的自己不满意,那你很难在一段和别人的长期关系中获得幸福。你要先建立自己的幸福才能和别人分享这份幸福。
