1.It's impossible for anyone else to define YOU.
任何人都不可能定義你
You are indefinable. You are the only one in this world who gets to say who you are.
你是不能被定義的。這個(gè)世界上只有你才能定義自己。
2.You were born with everything you need.
你生來(lái)就擁有你所需要的一切
You are whole and complete, and were gifted every talent and insight you needed to thrive in this world in the moment you were born. Your only job is to accept this truth and then allow it to unfold. Some gifts don't become apparent until later in life. Some insights only become clear to you once you have life experiences that unlock such wisdom from within you. Trust in this and relax.
你生來(lái)就很完整,在你出生的那一刻,你被賦予了出色應(yīng)對(duì)這個(gè)世界所需要的每一項(xiàng)天賦和領(lǐng)悟力。你唯一要做的就是接受這個(gè)事實(shí),并且讓你的天賦和能力逐漸顯露出來(lái)。有些天賦在你人生的后場(chǎng)半才會(huì)逐漸顯露出來(lái)。有些深刻的見(jiàn)解只有當(dāng)你擁有釋放你內(nèi)心智慧的生活經(jīng)驗(yàn)后才會(huì)清晰明了。相信這一點(diǎn),放松自己。
3.Perfection is a man-made illusion.
完美是人造的幻覺(jué)
We are beautifully imperfect beings, operating in a very imperfect world, and that is just the way it is meant to be. Striving for perfection is a hollow goal, one that can never be achieved. Embrace your quirks, your flaws and the fact that life is a roller coaster at times. Strive for excellence, have high standards… but never confuse that with the crippling behavior of perfectionism.
我們都是在不完美的世界中,美麗而不完美的存在,這才是萬(wàn)物該有的樣子。追求完美是一個(gè)空洞的目標(biāo),一個(gè)永遠(yuǎn)無(wú)法實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)。擁抱你的怪癖,你的缺點(diǎn),接受生活有時(shí)是過(guò)山車(chē)這樣的事實(shí)。追求卓越,對(duì)自己有高的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)……但永遠(yuǎn)不要和完美主義混淆。
4. You are NOT your thoughts.
你不是你的想法
You are the witnessing essence and consciousness behind the noise in your mind. Your mind doesn't define you, nor does it control you. It is not who you are. As soon as you recognize this, by watching your thoughts like an intrigued third-party observer, you will create instant distance from those thoughts and therefore no longer be identified with or enslaved by them.
你見(jiàn)證并且意識(shí)到自己頭腦中各種噪音。你的想法不能定義你,也不能控制你。你的想法并不是你。一旦你意識(shí)到這一點(diǎn),你就會(huì)像一個(gè)有趣的第三方觀察者來(lái)觀察你的想法,你會(huì)馬上和這些想法產(chǎn)生距離,這樣你就不再等同于它們或是被它們奴役。
5.Your beliefs can be modified to lift you up.
你可以改變信念,提升自己。
Whatever you believe to be true about yourself and life in the long-term becomes your reality. If your beliefs don't work in your favor, you can change them.
你長(zhǎng)期對(duì)自己和生活信以為真的事情,最終會(huì)變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。如果你的信念并不能讓你受益,那就改變它們。
