改變自己

Change yourself

If your life feels like it lacks the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control the situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

改變自己

如果你感覺(jué)生活缺少你需要的動(dòng)力和激情，或許你就要改變一下自己的觀點(diǎn)。

如果你讓自己的想法集中在事情好的一面，你將有更大的動(dòng)力去達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)，而不會(huì)讓消極的想法限制你的能力，讓你停止不前。

如果你選擇變換角度，你的生活會(huì)豁然開(kāi)朗，幸?？鞓?lè)會(huì)接踵而來(lái)。不要把自己的未來(lái)任憑機(jī)會(huì)擺布，也不要等待局面會(huì)不可思議地自動(dòng)變好。你必須與內(nèi)心希望與熱情步調(diào)一致。建立自信，敢于與困難斗爭(zhēng)，而不是選擇逃避困難。記住，生活的動(dòng)力未必能使你把握局勢(shì)，你處理問(wèn)題的應(yīng)變能力才是最重要的。

要相信美好事情的發(fā)生總是可能的，記住失敗可以成為教訓(xùn)，它能引領(lǐng)你作出新的發(fā)現(xiàn)。將你的害怕轉(zhuǎn)變成信任，學(xué)會(huì)越過(guò)憂(yōu)慮和彷徨。將你的“焦慮時(shí)間”換成“創(chuàng)造時(shí)間”。把你浪費(fèi)了的精力用在你能涉及的有意義的事上面。當(dāng)你嘗試經(jīng)歷生活的快樂(lè)時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)會(huì)發(fā)生許多美好的事情。當(dāng)你采用積極的想法去應(yīng)對(duì)日常事情，并讓這些成為你的世界里的重要的部分時(shí)，你會(huì)找到幸福和快樂(lè)。
