“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them.” ~Denis Waitley

人生有两大选择：要么接受现实，要么接受改变现状的责任。——丹尼斯·魏特利

Many people are constantly waiting for their life to start. “When I’m older I’ll do this” and “In a few years I’ll do that.” They think the life they are experiencing is boring and meaningless.

很多人都在等待自己生命的新起点，总说“等我长大一点，我会做这个”又或者“几年后，我要做那个”。他们觉得现在的生活很乏味无趣。

Who has never viewed himself/herself as worthless and unattractive?

谁没有试想自己是毫无价值、毫不吸引的人?

In others’ eyes, you are always “the funny one” and became loud and overconfident to mask what I was actually feeling, but few people know about the way you felt.

在别人的眼中，你可能是一个“很有趣的人”。你用大声喧嚣和过度的自信来掩盖自己真正的想法，以致身边的人都看不透你。

All of us may suffer with depression and frustration, lose guidance and support, need aids physically, emotionally, or spiritually.

我们所有人都会经历挫折和沮丧，失去指引和支持，无论物质、情感还是精神上都急切需要治愈。

Just think like this way:

请从这个方面思考：

“This too shall pass.”

这一切都会过去的。

Horrible feelings I am feeling will eventually go away.

所有恐惧不安的思想终有一天会烟消云散。

I need to stop feeling so sorry for myself and actually want to change. I am an incredibly lucky person who have come from a family who love and support my whole life.

不应再自怨自艾，而要切切实实地谋求改变。能有一个爱护和支持自己的家庭，你已经是世上非常幸运的人了。

I had to be the one to make the decision to change my way of thinking.

只有你可以决定自己想法的转变。

All the good things and all the wonderful people in my life would pass eventually too. While I am feeling miserable, my life is still going on and I am missing out on appreciating those precious moments.

跟不幸一样，在你生命中所有好的事情、身边很棒的人，同样会有离你而去的一天。当自己沉溺于痛苦之中，而生命的时间漏斗仍不停流转，那你将错过那些值得赞美的珍贵时刻。

We all have horrible things happen to us that will affect each of us differently.

尽管境遇相同，但其对不同的人的影响却不尽相同。

The important thing to remember is that our problems aren’t what define us. What defines us is how we deal with what has happened to us; how we change the way we think about it.

重要的是，你要记住，我们遇到的问题不能定义我们的本质。能定义我们的，是我们处理问题的方法，以及我们对待问题的态度转变。

We can either let it become us or we can use our new found wisdom to change the little bit of world around us all.

我们或许放任自流，又或许利用我们发现的新智慧改变我们周边发生的事情。

There’s something much bigger than us and our problems. It is always important to remember that there is always someone who is in a position much worse than our own.

比我们自身和我们所遇到的问题还重要的事情大有所在。切勿忘记永远有人比我们遭遇的更糟糕。

Nevertheless, I am well on the way to becoming the person I want to be and I have goals and expectations of myself. I am now aware that my life has started.

然而，我们有自己的目标和期待，并在自己选择的人生道路上很好的前进着。我们必须从现在起意识到属于自己的人生其实已经开始。

It started years ago and it’s not nearly over yet. It’s happening right now. Yours is too.

我的人生在好久之前已经开始了，而且还没结束。现在还是进行时。你的也一样。
