10 Life Guiding Decisions
生命中10個選擇決定人生方向
There’s no denying the fact that our lives are a mirror image of the decisions we make. Sure there may be a rare exception—such as a major health challenge— but in the big picture of life, we are where we are today based on the decisions we made in the yesterdays.
一個不可否認(rèn)的事實(shí)是，我們的生活是我們做出決定的一個鏡像。當(dāng)然有一種罕見的例外，比如一些重大疫病的挑戰(zhàn)——但是縱觀生活的大局,我們之所以成為今天的我們，基于我們在昨日所做的決定。
The key to living a happy and fulfilling life is to make wise decisions; decisions about where you live and work; decisions in how you treat and interact with others; decisions about how you spend money and handle difficult situations. But perhaps the most important of all is where you are leading your life.
生活愉快、充實(shí)的生活的關(guān)鍵是做出明智的決定,決定你在哪里生活和工作,決定你如何對待他人，如何與他人互動,決定如何花錢,決定如何處理困難情況。但或許最重要的是你在何處引領(lǐng)你的生活。
Where are you going? What do you want your life to look like five years from now? Ten years from now? Twenty years from now? Are you going drift with the tides or are you going to determine where you want to go, strap on a 200 HP motor, and start moving in that direction?
你要去向何處?你想讓五年之后的生活是什么樣子?十年后呢?二十年后呢?你會隨波逐流，漂泊不定或是你確定了你想去的地方,帶上200馬力發(fā)動機(jī),并開始朝著那個方向全力進(jìn)發(fā)?
Like many people I know, I am trying to get clear on what I want to do with the rest of my life. I have achieved all my major goals thus far; so now I have to figure out where I want to go from here. As part of my soul-searching process, I have answered ten important questions I think everyone should ask of themselves.
像許多人一樣我知道,我試圖弄清楚我的余生還想干些什么。迄今為止我已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了所有的主要目標(biāo),所以現(xiàn)在我必須從這里找到我想去的地方。作為我的反思過程的一部分,我已經(jīng)回答了十個重要的問題,我認(rèn)為每個人也都應(yīng)該問問自己這些問題。
Regardless of your station in life, you will benefit from answering these questions. Perhaps they will confirm that you are on the right track. Or, they may open your mind to opportunities you haven’t previously considered. They may reveal the missing link in your quest find happiness and fulfillment in your life.
不管你生活中身處哪一站,你將受益于回答這些問題。也許這些答案會確認(rèn)你是正確的。或者,他們會幫你找到心靈覺醒的機(jī)會，而之前你還沒有考慮到這些。他們可能揭示，在你的生活中追求快樂和成就感時，缺失的那一環(huán)。
Finding clarity and direction for your life
為你的生活找到清晰感和方向
1.What is important to me today? Start by identifying what’s currently important to you. To find the answer, simply look at how you spend your time. This is evidence to you and everyone watching your life as to what appears important to you at this point in time.
1.今天，什么東西對我很重要?首先識別出目前對你最重要的。為了找到答案,只是簡單看看你是如何花費(fèi)你的時間的。這就是證據(jù),你和每個人都觀察一下你的生活，在這個時間點(diǎn)，什么東西出現(xiàn)對你來說很重要。
2.What should be important to me? Once you examine the activities that fill your days, you will begin to realize some activities contribute more positives to your life than others. For example, time spent watching TV or surfing the web compared to time invested in relationships, personal growth, or worthwhile projects. It’s time to do some soul-searching and make a list of the things that are truly important to you.
2.什么東西應(yīng)該對我重要?一旦你檢查充斥與你日常的活動,你將開始意識到一些活動比其他的，更能帶給你積極的生活。例如,花時間看電視或上網(wǎng)，相比于投資于關(guān)系,投資于個人成長,或投資有價值的項目。顯然是后者更有意義。是時候做一些自我反省，列出對你真正重要的事情。
3.What do I want my life to look like? When you look 5, 10, 20, or 30 years into the future, what do you want your life to look like? What do you want to be doing with your time? Where do you want to be living?
3.我希望我的生活是什么樣子的呢?當(dāng)你看到5年、10年、20年或30年后的未來,你想要你的生活是什么樣子的呢?你想要成為什么人?你想要住在哪里?
