Choose love

去愛吧

作者：金·凱瑞

You know fear is going to be a player in your life

要知道在你的一生中，恐懼總會如影隨形

But you get to decide how much

不過你要決定它將占據多少分量

You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts worrying about your pathway to the future

你可以選擇誠惶誠恐的過一輩子一路上患得患失

But all there will ever be is what's happening here

但其實真正讓你迷茫的是現在

How will you serve the world?

你能為這個世界帶來什么

What do they need that your talent can provide?

你能發揮你所擅長的來滿足他人需要嗎

That's all you have to figure out

這是你最該搞清楚的東西

Someone who has done what you are about to do

必然已經有人做過你將要做的事情

I can tell you from experience

但是我要憑我的經驗告訴你

The effect you have on others

你所作所為對他人的影響

Is the most valuable currency there is

才是這個世界上最具價值的貨幣

There will always be someone

因為總會有一個人

Who seems to be doing better than you

做的比你更好

No matter what you gain, ego will not let you rest

不管你已經擁有了多少，卻總還想要得到更多

It will tell you what you cannot stop

始終有個聲音在你耳旁說不要停下

Until you've left an indelible mark on the earth

直到這個世界永遠記住我

Until you've achieved immortality

直到我永垂不朽

How tricky is this ego that it would tempt us

這個如此狡猾的聲音推著我們一步步向前

With the promise of something we already possess

即便已經擁有，還是永遠不夠多

As far as I can tell

我只能說

It's just about letting the universe know what you want

遵從心之所向

And working toward it

然后努力

While letting go of how it comes to pass

該隨風而去的就不要再留念

And when the door opens in real life, just walk through it

當命運的大門向你敞開，勇敢穿過

That peace that we're after

內心寧靜駐足的地方

Lies somewhere beyond personality

不在于個人魅力

Beyond the perception of others

不在于別人的評價

Beyond invention and disguise

不在于臆想和偽裝

Even beyond effort itself

更不在于努力本身

You can join the game, fight the wars

游戲人生也好，參軍打仗也罷

Play with form all you want

你可以成為任何你想成為的人

But to find real peace

但想要找到內心真正的寧靜

You have to let the armor fall

你要卸下鎧甲

You need for acceptance

因為你需要的越多

Can make you invisible in this world

這個世界越看不見真正的你

Don't let anything stand in the way of the light

不要讓任何東西遮住光芒

That shines through this form

讓它照射在你身上

Risk being seen in all of your glory

照亮你一身的榮耀

You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world

你已經準備好并且能夠給這個世界帶來美好

And after you walk through those doors today

當你今天穿過這扇門后

You will only ever have two choices

你只有兩個選擇

Love or fear

愛或恐懼

Choose love

請選擇愛
