生活不会发生在你的脑子里如果你不够小心，你很可能陷入困境。不过，如果你真的陷入困境，这也没什么大不了——所有人都会陷入困境，你只需要深呼吸，让自己的注意力集中在你的呼吸，而不是你脑中的想法上。

Just keep coming back to your breath. It’s a beautiful thing to have air in your lungs and a beat in your heart because today you get to live as a human and manifest things in this physical experience which is living out your purpose here on earth.

专注回到你的呼吸上。感觉你的肺里有清新的空气，你的心脏发出有力的搏击，这是一件美妙的事情。因为今天，你作为一个血肉之躯并且通过了实际的体验感受到了很多事情，而这也是实现你来这世上的目的。
