Live For Today

Live For Today Source：Internet How does one live for today? 如何才能更好地活在當下呢? We start by not waiting for something bad to happen to spur us into action. And we commit to this as part of our daily lives. Here are four questions that can start you on your way: 不要等待不幸來促使我們采取行動。我們要將決心作為習慣融入生活。以下是要問的四個問題: Do I know what really matters to me? 我知道對我來說到底什麽是重要的嗎？ Do I know what brings me joy? 我知道什麽能帶給我快樂嗎？ Are there things in my life that need to go to make room for what's important? 生活中有什麽事情可以被擱置，以便為重要的事情騰出空間? What am I waiting for? 我在等待什麽？ We start with these questions because you need to know what matters at your core in order to have a more fulfilling life. What makes you happy? What makes you uncomfortable or even angry? Although we can't avoid some of the mundane tasks in life we can couple them with things that bring us joy. 我們用這些問題開場，因為你得先了解你心裏什麽最重要，才能過上充實的生活。什麽讓你快樂？什麽讓你感到不舒服甚至憤怒？雖然我們無法回避生活中枯燥的活動，但我們能將快樂和無聊融合起來。 You also need to identify the people, places and things that drain you emotionally, spiritually and physically. If you can't eliminate them from your life you need to find ways to minimize your exposure to them and their impact on your life. 你還需要發現從情感上、精神上、體力上折磨你的人、地點和事情。如果你無法完全把他們從你的生活中消除，你需要想辦法減少和他們的接觸，將他們對你生活的影響最小化。 Honestly access your wants, needs and aspirations. Do you have a dream that has gone unfulfilled? Why? If the answer is you're waiting for such and such to happen, now is the time to stop waiting and take action. Then you can banish woulda, coulda, shoulda from your vocabulary. 誠實地了解自己想要、需要和渴望哪些東西。你有未實現的夢想嗎？為何沒實現？如果是因為你守株待兔而不行動，那現在就是停止等待、開始行動的時候。這樣你才會讓“本來如何”，“本可以如何”，“本應該如何”從你的字典裏消失。 Finally, remember that each day is a gift (yes even if you are stuck in traffic, the baby is crying, or you've burnt tonight's dinner) and your life can change in an instant. 最後，記著，每一天都是一份禮物（即便交通擁堵、孩子哭鬧、晚飯被燒焦），你的生活眨眼之間就能改變。 Rebecca Lin 2009 Winter In USA

貝卡好，
你的樂聲把我浮躁的心緒帶到了萊茵河畔，就像它的名字---乘著歌聲的翅膀。
讓我貪婪地擁抱那藍天，白雲，微風，還有無盡的想象。。。
謝謝你。
