别再相信的生活箴言 上.docx

Happiness comes from external things. We pin our happiness on external things like our appearance, bank balance, job title, travel plans, possessions and the opinions of others - and then suffer as a result. True, sustainable happiness comes from within - by cultivating a mindset based on gratitude1, mindfulness and acceptance. There is a single definition of success. And it involves an established career, large house, acceptable body shape, marriage and annual holidays. Everyone has their own path to walk in this life, and what brings true meaning and deep fulfillment differs for all of us. Let go of your need to fit to the status quo. Live, work, date, play, create, travel, eat, drink, move, laugh and sing in ways that feel right with your soul. That is true success. Life is meant to be hard work. Life is meant to be easy, beautiful and overflowing2 with moments of joy and bliss3. The more you listen to your soul and build a life thats true to you, the more your actions will feel completely natural and effortless. If life is a constant struggle, youre running on empty and you dread4 Mondays, its time to take an honest look at your life - in a loving way. Life happens to us. Where you are now is a result of the choices you made in the past. Where you will be in the future is a result of the choices you are making right now. You are an active participant in the creation of your life. So embrace your power as a creator, and start choosing thoughts, words and actions that make a positive impact and will come back to you in a million magnificent, beautiful, jaw-dropping ways. There is such a thing as normal, and we should measure ourselves against it. There is no such thing as a normal human, but there is such a thing as a normal you - where youre completely yourself, you love yourself deeply and you think and act in ways that feel aligned5 with your soul. Let your internal compass be your only point of reference. There is an us and a them. We draw a line around our social and family circles, keeping out everyone who doesnt fit neatly6 within our definition of normal, interesting or worthwhile. While everyone has vastly different aptitudes7, passions and quirks8, everyone also has the same light within them. The light within you is the same light within me, within the stranger on the bus, and within anyone you consider your enemy. We have to compete for limited resources. Life is meant to be abundant and limitless. We create scarcity9 by believing in it, instead of focusing our efforts on creating, giving and contributing our gift to help humankind reach its highest potential. Relax and feel it deep within your heart that you will always be provided for.词汇表：1 gratitude adj.感激，感谢参考例句：I have expressed the depth of my gratitude to him.我向他表示了深切的谢意。She could not help her tears of gratitude rolling down her face.她感激的泪珠禁不住沿着面颊流了下来。2 overflowing n. 溢出物,溢流 adj. 充沛的，充满的 动词overflow的现在分词形式参考例句：The stands were overflowing with farm and sideline products. 集市上农副产品非常丰富。The milk is overflowing. 牛奶溢出来了。3 bliss n.狂喜，福佑，天赐的福参考例句：Its sheer bliss to be able to spend the day in bed.整天都可以躺在床上真是幸福。Hes in bliss that hes won the Nobel Prize.他非常高兴，因为获得了诺贝尔奖金。4 dread vt.担忧，忧虑；惧怕，不敢；n.担忧，畏惧参考例句：We all dread to think what will happen if the company closes.我们都不敢去想一旦公司关门我们该怎么办。Her heart was relieved of its blankest dread.她极度恐惧的心理消除了。5 aligned adj.对齐的，均衡的参考例句：Make sure the shelf is aligned with the top of the cupboard.务必使搁架与橱柜顶端对齐。6 neatly adv.整洁地，干净地，灵巧地，熟练地参考例句：Sailors know how to wind up a long rope neatly.水手们知道怎样把一条大绳利落地缠好。The childs dress is neatly gathered at the neck.那孩子的衣服在领口处打着整齐的皱褶。7 aptitudes （学习方面的）才能，资质，天资( aptitude的名词复数 )参考例句：They all require special aptitudes combined with special training. 他们都应具有专门技能，并受过专门训练。Do program development with passion. has aptitudes for learning. research. innovation. 热爱程序开发工作。具有学习。钻研。创新的精神。8 quirks n.奇事，巧合( quirk的名词复数 )；怪癖参考例句：One of his quirks is that he refuses to travel by train. 他的怪癖之一是不愿乘火车旅行。 来自简明英汉词典All men have their own quirks and twists. 人人都有他们自己的怪癖
