美文欣賞（雙語）：新年夢想成真的10個秘訣

So you want to be a better you this year, and have the life you say you want, the ever elusive dream. The dream that lingers year after year until you know if you don`t do something about it, you will simply fade into oblivion.

在這一年里你想超越自己，過上你念念不忘、夢寐以求的生活，實現(xiàn)遙不可及的夢。夢想年復(fù)一年地徘徊，直到你明白如果再不做點什么，你將會淡忘它的存在。

Now the New Year is here! What will you do? Will you once again set intentions and resolutions only to be disappointed? Or will you set intentions and resolutions, create a plan and move into action.

現(xiàn)在新的一年就在眼前!你要做什么?你還要繼續(xù)紙上談兵，最后失望而歸嗎?還是遵循自己的想法，做一個計劃并付諸實踐呢?

Now you may be thinking, create a plan, is she crazy? I don`t have time for that! I`m already busy enough and she wants me to take time from my busy life and create a plan. Yes, you`re exactly right! I know that life can be very busy and without a plan, your dream will remain a dream.

你可能在想：做計劃，瘋了嗎?我哪有時間做那個!我已經(jīng)夠忙了，還想讓我從百忙之中抽出時間做計劃!是的，完全正確!我知道你的生活很忙碌，但是如果沒有計劃，夢想將永遠(yuǎn)只是個夢。

Life is about choosing. Claiming and using your right to choose is very important in having the life you say you want, turning your dream into reality. Throughout the year, when you find that you`re wavering, ask, "is this my dream and how bad do I want it". If you`re motivated by your answer, you know you`re on the right track.

生活充滿了選擇。大聲說出你想要的生活并做出選擇至關(guān)重要，它讓你的夢想成真。在這一年之中，當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己猶豫不決時，就問問自己，"這是不是我的夢想?我有多渴望實現(xiàn)它?"。如果你的答案能夠鼓舞你，那你就站在了正確的軌道上。

So that this year will be different and since you`ve waited to get started, here are some tips to help you make meaningful resolutions and set intentions that support you in having the life you say you want. Your dream is awaiting your action.

所以這一年將是不同尋常的一年，因為在開始之前你已期盼良久，下面就奉上有效地解決問題的秘訣，讓你踏上自己夢想生活的征途。夢想在即，等待你追隨的腳步。

1. Take an in depth look at your life, who you are and how you show up.

1.深刻地反思你的生活，你是誰，在別人面前你又是誰。

2. Decide if this is the way you want your life to be 365 days from now.

2.從現(xiàn)在開始365天每天都做出判斷，這樣的生活是不是你想要的。

3. Give yourself permission to move in the direction of the life you say you want.

3.給自己一張通行證，踏上圓夢之路，終點是理想的生活。

4. Chart your course; set goals toward achieving your dream life.

4.給圓夢之路畫好規(guī)劃圖，為理想之巔設(shè)立高目標(biāo)。

5. Do something daily that takes you closer to your dream.

Each day is a new opportunity to choose. Just in case you`re wondering where to start, my friend Sallie Felton gives excellent advice with, "Start where you stand."

每天都會有新的機(jī)遇等待你去選擇。為了不讓你擔(dān)心該從哪開始，我的朋友莎莉·菲爾頓給出了很好的建議："就從你的腳下開始。"

Saying that you want something different without thinking and acting differently ensures that you continue to have your pipe dream. Are you willing to stop procrastinating and start doing? Imagine the difference you will experience knowing that you took full responsibility and control in creating the life you say you want!

你總是在念叨想要不同的生活，卻不想也不做不同的事，這會保證你永遠(yuǎn)做的是白日夢。你想要不再耽擱時間并開始做事嗎?發(fā)揮你的想象力，假設(shè)你終于完全負(fù)責(zé)并主宰自己的圓夢之路，盡情想象到那時的不同感受吧!

Wishing you joy, health, prosperity and love in the New Year!

愿新的一年中，快樂、健康、成功和愛常伴你左右!
