第515期:英語美文 不要讓你的生活被這5件事控制

不要讓你的生活被這5件事控制

Don't allow yourself to be controlled by these 5 things.

你的生活是否被太多事情牽絆？會不會每次想幹點事情就變得畏畏縮縮、瞻前顧後，最後又變成不了了之？很多人的工作節奏太快，精神壓力太大，走着走着，就漸迷失了最初的自己。這是因爲我們太容易受到周圍環境，受到他人的觀念的影響。

今天分享的這篇美文，從五個方面向我們展示了我們生活中牽絆的來源。它們分別是：無法放下過去，無法做真正的自己，無法釋放自己的潛力，無法真正得到快樂，過於追求金錢。

這是一篇很務實，又很深刻的美文，讀完之後，就像喝完一杯清茶，呼吸到新鮮的空氣一樣讓人從內心感到釋放和一種平靜的喜悅。準備好你的耳朵和眼睛，我們要開始咯。

No.1 Your past

忘掉過去，展望將來

Do not allow your past to control your present or your future life. Whatever happened, you must let it go. Leave the pain of your past behind, so it cannot ruin your future. Leave the darkness of your past behind, so it cannot block the light of your bright future. Your past is gone. Whatever happened, whether unjust, cruel, harsh, whatever the case, reliving the events will never do you any good. Just focus on building the future!

不要讓過去控制你的現在和你的未來！無論過去發生過什麼，你都必須從容放下。把過去的痛苦拋之腦後，不要讓它影響你的未來。把過去的迷惘拋之腦後，不要讓它阻擋你光明的道路。過去已逝，無論經歷了多麼不公平、痛苦、困難的事情，忘掉、放下，沉迷對你沒有任何益處，專注於創造你的未來！

NO.2 Other people's opinions and judgements

做你自己，不要過度關注別人的流言蜚語

You cannot let a fear of failure, or a fear of comparison, or a fear of judgement stop you from doing what’s going to make you great. Don't allow other people's opinions and judgements to control the direction of your life! Before you do anything, ask yourself: Am I doing this because I want to do it or because of my fear of judgement from other's if I don't. You were born unique for a reason. You were born to stand out to be appreciated and loved for WHO YOU ARE. Don't dim your light so you fit into the dull background of other people's lives.
不要因害怕失敗，害怕對比、害怕他人的指指點點放棄做讓你成爲一個更好的人的事情。不要讓他人的觀點和言論左右自己生活的方向。做任何事情前，捫心自問：我這樣做是因爲我自己想做還是害怕別人的議論而做的？你是獨一無二的，你應該因自己本來的樣子得到讚美和愛！千萬不要爲了適應別人生活的環境而熄滅心中的明燈。

NO.3 Limited beliefs

生活是無限的，要勇於去嘗試和挑戰

Don't allow your life to be controlled by your own limited beliefs. They may be unconscious limitations that have been conditioned in you from a young age and throughout your entire life by listening to those around you who never reached for their own dream. When you change your belief from limited to unlimited, your potential is unlimited. Imagine what you could achieve, if you lived your life as though ANYTHING is possible. As the saying goes: When there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do you no harm.
不要讓你現在有限的認識左右人生的方向。這些無意識的限制可能源自你從小生活的環境，也可能受周圍那些從來沒有實現過自己理想的人的影響充斥於整個生活中。當你改變認知，把有限的思維跳到無限可能中，潛力就會發揮最大作用。如果把“萬事皆有可能”當作人生信條，你就能預見自己的成就。正如：內心沒有敵人，外界的敵人就不會構成傷害。

NO.4 Relationships

不要太多受感情影響，要學會獨自生活的樂趣

There is no force on this earth greater that LOVE and connection. It means to develop enough mental strength that you get to the point where you don't need others to make you happy. You are just as happy being alone as you are in a relationship.
世界上沒有比愛和溝通更有力量的了。它是指：必須形成足夠堅強的意志力，讓你不需要依靠別人就能感到幸福，自己一個人的時候也能和談戀愛一樣感到快樂。

NO.5 Money

在做決定時，不要過多考慮金錢的因素

This is what controls the majority of humans on this planet. If you are choosing something only on the factor of how much money is involved, you've just made the wrong decision. What you will find, is that when you follow your heart, and you follow your intuition and truly give your soul, then the money will come, and it will come in far greater amounts than if you simply chase money.
世界上大多數人受金錢支配。如果你做決定時，只考慮金錢因素，那這個決定通常是錯的。你會發現：當你遵從內心意志，跟隨內心直覺並付諸真心去做事情時，錢自然就進口袋了，並且會比你只追求金錢做事的時候來得多的多。
