Whether we like it or not, days bleed into one another and weeks slip by quickly. I hate the feeling of looking back on a month and thinking, “Wait… Now what did I do again? Anything?” One way to ease your mind that your days have been well spent is to focus less on checking tasks off a list, and more on making each day valuable to you and to the world.
不管我們喜歡與否,從一天到另一天,幾個星期一下子就過去了。我討厭這種感覺:當我回顧這個月的時想到,“等等…我又干了什么?干了什么?”一種讓你心情平靜的方法是使你的時間被有效使用,較少的關注在檢查任務單上,更多的讓每一天對于你和世界而言變得更有價值上。
Do One Thing That Scares You
This one has become a cliche, but that doesn’t make it irrelevant. (Please don’t run into traffic just to get heart rate up, though.) Seek out fears that may be holding you back from trying new things. Talk to that cute girl on the bus. Negotiate a deal. Present an idea at work. Attempt a ridiculously complex meal. When you regularly do things that kind of freak you out, you stretch your boundaries and create a much bigger, more rewarding comfort zone to play in. “Safe” and “stuck” don’t have to be synonymous.
做一件讓你害怕的事
這已經是陳詞濫調了,但是這并使它顯得不入流。(盡管如此,請不要緊緊為了加速心跳沖進車流中。)找出會阻止你嘗試新東西的恐懼心理。與在車站的那個可愛女孩談話。做一筆生意。在工作上提出一個創意。嘗試一頓滑稽的大雜燴。當你有規律的做些讓你極度興奮的事情,你拓展了你的界限并且創造了一個大得多的,更有價值的舒適的圈子。“安全”和“僵化”并不一定是同義詞。
