生命中不值得我們去做的30件事

1. Stop spending time with the wrong people.

不要花時間和錯誤的人相處。

Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. If someone wants you in their life, they’ll make room for you. You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth. And remember, it’s not the people that stand by your side when you’re at your best, but the>人生苦短，沒有必要和那些令你不快樂的人糾纏。如果那個人需要你，你不需要刻意去做什么，他/她自然會留出你的位置。絕對不要和那些低看了你價值的人在一起。記住，一帆風順時守在自己身邊并不珍貴，當你深陷困境卻依然和你并肩在一起的才是真正的朋友。

2. Stop running from your problems.

不要逃避問題。

Face them head>直面并解決問題。沒錯，這很不容易。世上沒有人能夠輕松的渡過每一個難關。也沒有人就能不停地輕松地戰勝困難。事實上，我們本就該迷茫，傷心，難過，出差錯，因為那是生活的意義所在——去面對問題，去學習，去適應，隨著時間的發展學會解決問題，塑造了我們成為什么樣的人。

3. Stop lying to yourself.

不要欺騙自己。

You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve>你可以對世界上任何一個人撒謊，唯獨不能跟自己撒謊。只有我們不斷接受挑戰，生活才能前進，然第一個也是最難的挑戰就是誠實的面對自己。

4. Stop putting your own needs on the back burner.

不要把自己的需求排在最后。

The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too. Yes, help others; but help yourself too. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.

世界上最悲慘的事情是，太愛某一個人而丟失了自己，忘記了自己也是不一樣的存在。是的，要幫助別人，但是更要愛護自己。如果你從沒有跟從自己的內心，從沒有為自己做些重要的事情，那現在就開始。

5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not.

不要強迫自己成為理想的別人。

One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.

世上最大的挑戰就是將自己改變成為另一個人。總有人更加漂亮，總有人更聰明，總有人更年輕，但他們都不是你。不要為了讓別人更喜歡自己而去強迫自己改變。做自己，對的人會愛真正的你。

6. Stop trying to hold onto the past.

不要總是攥著過去。

You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one.

如果你一直重讀昨天，那很難翻開人生新的篇章。

7. Stop being scared to make a mistake.

不要害怕犯錯。

Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing. Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

不斷嘗試，哪怕是錯了，也比什么都不做好十幾倍。每份成功背后都有無數的失敗，每一次失敗都是通往成功的嘗試。你會為沒有做過的事情后悔而不是去嘗試了的。

8. Stop berating yourself for old mistakes.

不要為過去的錯誤而折磨自己。

We may love the wrong person and cry about the wrong things, but no matter how things go wrong, one thing is for sure, mistakes help us find the person and things that are right for us. We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future. Every single thing that has ever happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

我們也許會錯愛過某個人，為某件錯事而哭泣，但是不論多大的錯事，可以確定的是，錯誤的人或事會幫我們找到適合自己的人或事。我們都會犯錯，都會掙扎，甚至后悔過去做的事情。但是如今，你不是曾經犯錯誤的你，更不是曾經不停掙扎著的你，你是全新的自己，那個有能力塑造新的現在和未來的你。曾經發生的每一件事都是在為將要到來的時刻做準備。

9. Stop trying to buy happiness.

不要試圖“購買”幸福。

Many of the things we desire are expensive. But the truth is, the things that really satisfy us are totally free – love, laughter and working on our passions.

我們想要的很多東西都非常昂貴。但事實是，真正適合我們的事情往往都是免費的--真愛，微笑，激情的工作。

10. Stop exclusively looking to others for happiness.

不要幻想通過其他人來獲得幸福。

If you’re not happy with who you are on the inside, you won’t be happy in a long-term relationship with anyone else either. You have to create stability in your own life first before you can share it with someone else.

如果你對內在的自己不滿意，那你很難在一段和別人的長期關系中獲得幸福。你要先建立自己的幸福才能和別人分享這份幸福。
