享受陽光
Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey. How well do you feel when you have a little bit of sunshine in your life? What effect does it have on our psyche? The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile. Imagine how great it would be if we were so positive all year round!
在如此漫長的冬季過后,春天會讓你有不同的感覺。當你生活中有一點陽光時,你感覺有多好?陽光對我們的精神到底有什么影響?陽光能給我們帶來許多安慰、樂觀和自信,當然還有微笑。想象一下,如果一年到頭我們都這么積極該多好!
Living like this is possible if you really think about it. In order to exist in such a state of happiness though, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, our minds and from our souls. I bet many of you are reading this now and saying, "Yeah, that is easier said than done!" And what do we say to that? Well, in the end that's your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!
如果你真想的話,像這樣生活是可能的。然而為了一這樣快樂的狀態(tài)生活,我們必須讓陽光發(fā)自內心,發(fā)自心靈、頭腦和靈魂。我相信很多正在讀這篇文章的人都會說:“是啊,說著容易做著難!”對此我們該說些什么呢?嗯,最后做決定的是你自己。如果你真那么想,你自己的生活就會反映出你的那種態(tài)度!
In order to make "sunshine" or rather, "light" a part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you do not contradict what you really feel you'd like to create in your own life. Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you. Watch to see how often you gossip about other people, and when you become aware of it you will see how often it is actually attached with feelings of jealousy, envy and insecurity about yourself.
為了使“陽光”——或者說是“光明”——成為我們生命的一部分,我們得去審視自己的理、言辭和行為,以使自己不和真正想要在生活中創(chuàng)造出東西相矛盾,這一點非常重要。要審視自己的想法,完全弄清自己頭腦中有多少有關你自己和周圍其他人的消極想法。注意自己是否經(jīng)常說別人的閑話,當你意識到時,你就會明白那實際上源自你自身的嫉妒和不安全感。
You should also take a close look at your "intention". How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return? It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting recognition or acknowledgment for what you have intention. Think about it! We may not always pay attention to what our true intentions are behind our words, thoughts and actions because many of us are not aware of the power and effect they have when it comes to creating our lives.
你還應該好好審視自己的“動機”。有多少人為別人做事卻不求回報?你期待的回報可能不一定非得是物質上的或身體上的;期待認可或感謝已經(jīng)足以成為動機了。想一想吧!我們可能不會總是注意言行和思想背后的真正動機,因為我們匯總的許多人并沒有意識到動機在創(chuàng)造生活上的力量和影響。
Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside of us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else. All of these things are born from a "negative" attitude and will not help us in any way at all when it comes to bringing a brighter "sunshine" into our lives. If you took all your negative attitudes in one hand and measured your need to feel "sunshine" in the other, you would see how both these elements really contradict each other.
考慮到所有這些,似乎大多數(shù)人都在自己的內心創(chuàng)造出了一個怪物,我們只是在談論、思考,并沒有帶著適當?shù)膭訖C,真心地去幫助別人。所有這些都源于一種否定的態(tài)度,而當涉及到給我們的生活帶來更為明亮的陽光時,這些根本沒有幫助。如果你把所有的消極態(tài)度都放在一只手中,并在另一只手上衡量你對“陽光”的需要,你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)這些因素是多么地相互矛盾。
Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people who are around you!
勇敢些,在這個春天打破你的模式和習慣,這樣你將讓真正的陽光照耀自己,這陽光發(fā)自內心,照進你的生活,也照進你周圍人的生活!
