Stop living in the past
停止活在过去
停止活在过去
Right now you need to throw away regrets of the past. It’s gone, there is no point dwelling on what could of been, doing so will only rob the present moment of joy。
从现在开始，你应该抛开对过去的悔恨。既然已经过去，后悔不仅于事无补，反倒会掠走当下的快乐。
Accept the things you cannot change
接受无法改变的事情
When you fight against reality, you get bloody in a battle of what ifs and denial. Whether your reality is that you should have married someone else, said something you needed to say, or are dealing with an illness, the reality is you can’t change any these things. Dwelling or worrying is only robbing your present moment of all joy。
在与现实的斗争中，你不断假设又不断碰壁，撞得头破血流。不论你是在后悔错过该嫁的人、说了不该说的话，或正身患疾病，现实都无法改变。一味沉溺其中或忧愁焦虑只会丧失当下的快乐。
What you can do is re-evaluate your life now and take the necessary steps to make the appropriate changes. Follow your instincts, they will tell you when you have veered off the path of where you should be, whether it be your relationship or career. Tune into your inner compass it will guide you in the right direction。你能做的是从现在起重新审视自己的生活，采取必要措施作出恰当改变。听从直觉的指引。不论是感情还是职业，请让内心指引你到达正确方向。
Take “what if”， “should have” and “why me” out of your story. Move on。把“假如”、“本应该”及“为什么是我”从字典里删除。然后，继续前行。
Practice mindful living
试着用心生活
Mindful living will in fact slow down time; it will enhance the present moment and fill otherwise mundane days with awe and joy。
用心生活能放慢时间、彰显当下时光并使平凡的日子充满惊喜与快乐。
Ten years from now you might think, Where did my life go? When we live mindfully we immerse ourselves in moments. These are the moments that make up our lives. If you don’t practice mindfulness you run the risk of having these precious moments of your life lost to a string of foggy over-thinking. Rest in the spaces in between the major events, these spaces are your life。
十年后你可能会问：我这辈子是怎么过来的？如果用心生活，你会尽情过好每分每秒，而正是这些分分秒秒构成了全部生活；要是麻木生活，你会错失生活中美好的瞬间，以后只留下一抹模糊的掠影。享受里程碑间的间歇时光吧——这些就是你的生活呵。
Stop chasing money, fame, and possessions
停止追逐金钱、名利和财富
We crave wealth, prestige, fame and popularity, we crave material things and beautiful people. We mistakenly think that happiness is going to arrive when we meet these goals. Instead of enjoying our life, we are in a constant pursuit of something other than where we are right now。
我们渴望财富、声望与名利，我们渴望物质和俊男美女。我们错误地以为，只要得到这些，幸福就会降临。我们忘了要享受生活、忽视当下时光，转而乐此不疲地追求其他东西。
At the end of your life, your expensive BMW will not be what’s flashing through your mind. You will more likely smile at the memory of your loyal dog. Stop chasing material possessions, there is no real happiness there, only an endless pursuit。
咽气之际，你脑中闪现的或许不是宝马汽车，而是让你微笑的忠诚老狗。停止追逐物质财富吧。物质并不能带来真正的快乐，只会招来永无止境的贪婪。
Always practice gratitude
常常感恩
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend。” — Melody Beattie
“感恩开启生活的圆满。它使我们拥有更多，变拒绝为接受，化混乱为有序，使困惑变澄澈。它能将简餐变成盛宴、房屋变成家园、陌生人变成好朋友。”—— 梅洛迪-贝蒂
Gratitude improves health, happiness, spirituality, connection, relationships, self-worth and simply gives life intense meaning。
感恩改善健康、快乐、精神、关系、人际和自我价值，并赋予生活深刻内涵。
Even if your life isn’t perfect—and here’s a secret, it never will be perfect—you still have a lot to be grateful for. So every day remember to take the time to smile, laugh and truly say thanks for all the small and big joys in your life。
哪怕你的生活并不完美(其实生活从来不曾完美)，你仍有许多可以感恩的地方。所以，每天要记得微笑大笑，感激生活中或大或小的乐趣。
This is an excerpt by the famous Martha Beck that has made an enormous impact on my life. It sums up regret beautifully:
下面一段话摘自玛莎-贝克的文字，把遗憾总结非常美妙，我感到受益匪浅：
“So the ultimate lesson of regret, the one that will help guide you into a rich and satisfying future, is this: Every time life brings you to a crossroads, from the tiniest to the most immense, go toward love, not away from fear. Think of every choice in terms of “What would thrill and delight me?” rather than “What will keep my fear—or the events, people, and things I fear—at bay?”
“最后一课是关于遗憾。能指引你走向丰富而圆满的未来的是：每次生活中遇到十字路口，不论大小，都选择爱心那条路，而不是恐惧方向。每次都告诉自己‘前方有什么有趣的事情在等我’，而不是暗示自己‘前方有什么可怕的事情或人物’。”
Pay attention to all of the sources of love in your life and you’ll develop a growing sense of abundance of how much beauty surrounds you each day。
关注生活中的点滴爱心，慢慢你会发现，每天的生活都那么丰富而美妙！
