灰暗日子-你想改变什么,从改变自己开始(2)

 When life gets tough

 

当生活变得艰难的时候

 

It's only a problem if you think it's aproblem

 

只有你觉得这是个问题的时候才会是个问题

 

Many times, we are our own worst enemy.Happiness is really dependent on perspective. If you think something is aproblem, then your thoughts and emotions will be negative. But if you think it's something you can learn from, then suddenly, it's not a problem anymore.

 

很多时候，我们是自己最大的敌人。幸福取决于你的观察角度。如果你觉得一件事是个问题，那么你的想法和情绪都会变得消极。但如果你觉得这是学习的好机会，看看，突然就不是啥问题了。

 

If you want things to change, you need to start with changing yourself

 

如果你想改变什么，那就从改变自己开始吧

 

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world. Don't you know people whose lives are chaotic¹ and stressful? And isn't that largely because they feel chaotic inside? Yes, it is. We like to think that changing our circumstances will change us. But we have it backwards² we need to change ourselves first before our circumstances will change.

 

你的外在是内在的一个反应。你难道不觉得那些外表看起来乱糟糟亚历山大的人们其实内心也是一团乱麻么？的确是这样。我们总是觉得改变环境就能改变自己。其实我们弄反了-我们需要先改变自己才能随之改变环境
