励志美文 成功的3个要素 你get了吗

 　　Success is so much more than just money or fame. Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are.

　　成功远远不止是金钱和名利。能够活得快乐、能够追求忠于自我的人生，才是真正的成功。

　　If you want to have a successful life, if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate¹ to be alive, here are the three things you need to focus on.

　　如果你想要活得成功、如果你想要创造挥洒激情的人生，有这么三个要素你必须关注。

　　1. Believe In Yourself

　　1、相信自己

　　If you don't believe in yourself, how do you expect other people to?

　　如果连你自己都不相信自己，要怎么让别人相信你呢？

　　If you don't believe that you can have the life you desire, if you don't believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve, it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life.

　　如果你不相信你能得到你所追求的生活、如果你不相信你能得到你想要的东西，要想活得成功就非常困难了。

　　When you believe in yourself, it fuels your creativity, your ambitions and your motivation to do things. It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.

　　当你有了自信，它会点亮你的创意、野心和做事的动力。它同样能让你在追求心之所向时放手一搏。

　　2. Know Your Intention

　　2、了解你的追求

　　If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame, chances are you are never going to truly feel successful.

　　如果你的追求只是金钱和名利，你很可能永远都不会感到成功。

　　The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to sustain² a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness.

　　金钱和名利带来的成功仅仅是暂时的，不足以给你长期的满足和快乐。

　　For a truly successful life, your intention has to be rooted in your purpose, in your passions and in what feels good to you.

　　想要真正的成功人生，必须把追求放在目标上、放在热情所在之处、放在最适合自己的地方。

　　When your intention is to serve your purpose, make a change in the world and express your gifts and talents, you will feel true success and satisfaction no matter what the outcome³.

　　当你的追求在于达成目标、改变世界和发挥天赋上，你会感受到真正的成功和满足，无论结果如何。

　　3. Realize You Are Already Successful

　　3、明白你已经很成功了

　　Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome that into your life, the more you will start to feel it.

　　成功就在你周围，就流淌在你的身体里。你越是对它敞开心胸，就越是能感受到它。

　　Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success. This is a powerful mindset shift and one that will help you to align⁴ with your ambitions and dreams.

　　对人生中微小的成功心存感激，这也能帮你获得更大的成功。这是巨大的心态转变，同样能助你与抱负和梦想为伴。

　　The truth is that you are already successful and once you realize this, there is no stopping what you can do.

　　事实上，你已经足够成功了，明白了这点，你将无可匹敌。
