丹每日谏言 力量, 意志, 改变, 积极
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” -Mahatma Gandhi
“力量不是来自身体的能力。它来自一个百折不挠的意志。”——圣雄甘地
If you’re anything like me, you’re likely a lot stronger than you think you are.
如果你真的有什么地方像我一样，你很可能比你所认为的『你』强很多。
You’ve dealt with hardships and learned lessons that you’ve used to improve life for yourself and others. You’ve fallen down and pulled yourself up when it would have been easier to feel bad for yourself. You’ve made proactive choices for your life instead of waiting for life to happen around you.
你经历了艰辛，学会了为自己和他人而改善生活的课程。在你感觉很糟时，你曾经倒下，并自己站起来。你所做的是为了生活作出积极的选择，而不是等待你周围的生活发生变化。
And if you haven’t always done these things, you understand that you can at any time.
如果你不经常做这些事，你知道在任何时候都能做。
Today if you deal with challenges, remember: you are stronger than you realize. You will take whatever happens and not only bear it, but turn it into something good.
今天，如果你应对挑战，请记住：你比你认识得更有力量。你会经历任何的可能，不仅承受它，而且要把它变为好事。

丹每日谏言 创造, 快乐, 热情
“Life will bring you pain all by itself. Your responsibility is to create joy.” -Milton Erickson
“生活本身会带给你痛苦。你的职责是创造快乐。“——米尔顿埃里克森
It’s inevitable we’ll hurt in life, and in it’s inevitable we’ll want more of the good times, less of the bad, and more control over the distribution.
我们将在生活中不可避免会受到伤害，并且我们也会不可避免地希望拥有更多的美好时光、更少的艰难困苦，在更多的分配控制权。
We can’t change that pain is a part of life, but we can choose to be responsible for joy instead of sitting around waiting for it–wondering when someone will change or something will change and happiness will seem less elusive.
我们不能改变这构成生命一部分的痛苦，但我们可以选择要为快乐负责，而不是坐等其成——积极追求人或事的改变，幸福就似乎不那么难以实现。
We can do the things we love a little every day. And tell the people we love how we feel every day. And try something that scares us every day. We can live bold, passionate lives by deciding to be bold and passionate, right now.
我们可以每天做我们所爱的事情。并告诉我们挚爱的人每天的感受。尝试那些我们每天害怕的事情。我们通过决心成为果敢和热情，而能够活得勇敢而富有激情。
Every day won’t be easy, but on any moment we can let go and start anew.
每一天都不会是一帆风顺，但在任何时刻，我们可以放手重新来过。
What can you do today to create joy for yourself and the people around you?
今天，你能做些什么来为自己和你周围的人创造快乐？

丹每日谏言 价值, 成功, 生活
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ” -Albert Einstein
“不要成为一个成功的人，而应该努力成为一个有价值的人。 “——阿尔伯特 爱因斯坦
We don’t have to meet some predefined idea of success to know we’re making a difference in the world. We only need to stay authentic, live in accordance with our values, and trust that what we do matters.
我们不要迎合那些预定义的成功理念来认识我们在世上所为。我们只需要与真实相伴，根据我们的价值观去生活，并相信我们所做的。
Today if you’re feeling unsuccessful, you may enjoy reading about all the everyday successes we often fail to recognize.
今天，如果你觉得不成功，你可以享受地去“阅读”『日常生活中那些我们往往不能认识到的成功』。

丹每日谏言 关系, 帮助, 满足
“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person, you may be the world.” -Brandi Snyder
“对于世界，你可能只是某人，而但对于某人，你可能是全世界。”——布兰迪斯奈德
We don’t need to be all things to all people. When we try to maximize our impact, sometimes we lose track of what really matters–the connections we form and the support we provide each other, one simple gesture at a time. In the end, that’s what makes us feel fulfilled: the quality of our relationships.
我们不需要尽一切可能去满足所有人。当我们尽量让我们的影响最大化时，有时我们失去了真正重要的轨道——我们形成的关系连接和互相提供的支持，虽然每次只是举手之劳。这最终才是使我们感到很满足的：我们的关系的质量。
Today if you find yourself worrying about your reach, remember: you are making a difference, and people notice, whether you do or not.
今天，如果你发现自己对自身的能力感到担忧，请记住：你正在产生影响，不管你做什么或没有，人们都会注意到。

丹每日谏言 善良, 缺点
“Always be mindful of the kindness and not the faults of others.” -Buddha
“永远将善意铭记在心，而不是别人的缺点。”——佛
It’s easy to focus on someone else’s faults and flaws–we’re all human and we all have them. But shining a light on someone’s weaknesses doesn’t help them improve; it merely reminds them you’re more attentive to what they lack than what they have.
人们很容易把重点放在别人的缺点和缺陷上——我们都是人，我们都有它们。但是，照亮别人的弱点，并不能帮助他们提高；它只会提醒他们，你更关注他缺少的，而不是他们拥有的。
We all want to be appreciated for who we are and the good we do, regardless of our shortcomings. We want to believe that what we do is enough–that we’re enough, even if we don’t do everything perfectly and still have room to grow.
不管我们有如何的缺点，我们都希望因为我们是谁、我们做得好而获得他人的赞赏。我们要相信，我们所做的是足够的——这样我们会满足，即使我们不能做到事事完美，而且还有成长空间。
We can’t control how other people treat us, but can we show them how in the way we treat them.
我们无法控制别人怎么对待我们，但我们可以告诉他们我们以怎样的方式对待他们。
Whose kindness can you acknowledge today?
今天，你会感谢谁的善意呢？

丹每日谏言 当下, 未来, 觉察, 过去
“Let us not look back in anger, nor forward in fear, but around in awareness.” -James Thurber
“我们不要瞻前顾后，而是要活在觉察中。”——詹姆斯 瑟伯
When you focus your attention on what’s in front of you, yesterday’s problems feel a lot less catastrophic and tomorrow’s uncertainty seems a lot less scary.
当你专注于你面前的当下时，会觉得昨天的问题不是那么严重，明天的不确定性似乎没有看上去那么可怕。
It’s not easy to live in the now because obsessing over yesterday and stressing about tomorrow can seem like gaining control. If only you can analyze yesterday enough, maybe you can make sense of it. If only you can plan for tomorrow enough, maybe you can decide what will happen.
活在当下并非易事，因为困扰于昨天和为明天倍感压力的生活看似正在获得控制权。只要你能足够地分析昨天，也许你可以使它更有意义。只要你能足够地规划明天，也许你可以决定什么会发生。
Accept neither of those things are universally true.
不接受这些事情的人是普遍存在的。
There will never come a time when we feel completely done with the past or secure with the future, but eventually we have to consent to let it all go regardless.
这一时刻永远不会出现：我们觉得完全地完成了过去或对将来很有把握。而最终，我们不得不同意去放弃这幻境。
We can either use our hours thinking about the ones that have past and the ones that are coming, or we can dig our heels into the moment and choose not to let it slip away. Because it will, as will the next, and the next, and the next until eventually they run out.
我们既能利用时间思考过去和未来，又可以驻足于当下和选择不让它溜走。因为时光如梭，它会，也将会一个接着一个，直到最后用光。
Today if you find yourself rehashing, assessing, or worrying, ask yourself this question: what would I gain if I sacrificed the illusion of control and instead rooted myself firmly in the now?
今天，如果你发现自己换汤不换药，犹豫不决，或担心，那么请问自己这样一个问题：如果我去除了对控制的幻想，而是牢牢扎根在现在，我会得到什么？

丹每日谏言 变化, 快乐, 舒适, 难受
“You can only grow if you’re willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” -Brian Tracy
“在你尝试新的事物时，如果你愿意让自己感到尴尬和难受，那么你才会成长。”——博恩 崔西
We never have to push ourselves. We don’t have to try new things. We don’t have to get uncomfortable.
我们从来不愿推动自己。我们不愿尝试新的东西。我们不愿感到难受。
There is no law that says we need to change things up in order to be happy and fulfilled. But regardless of what we choose, life will change around us, and eventually make changes within us.
没有法律说我们必须改变事物以求快乐和满足。但无论我们选择什么，生活将会改变我们周边，并最终使我们的内在发生变化。
The real choice is whether we want to open up to new possibilities or wait for the world to tell us what those possibilities are.
真正的选择是：我们是否要开辟新的可能，或者等待世界告诉我们这些可能。
Today if you decide to get outside your comfort zone–to stretch yourself, learn a new skill, or somehow be part of the world in a way that feels unnatural–know that discomfort isn’t permanent. Just like we fell when we first learned to walk, we will stumble when we’re in new territory.
今天，如果你决定要走出你的舒适区来伸展自己，那么就要学习新技能、或是以通过体会『不舒适并不是永恒的』这种非自然的认识来成为世界的一部分。就像我们第一次学习走路时那样，当我们尝试新领域时，我们会『绊倒』。
Eventually, your comfort zone will widen, and that new action will feel as instinctive as taking one step after another.
最终，你的舒适区将扩大，而且你会觉得新的行动就像学走路一样出自本能，走完一步，接着是下一步。

丹每日谏言 分享, 友谊, 朋友
“To have a friend and be a friend is what makes life worthwhile.” -Unknown
“有位朋友和做他人的朋友使生命更有意义。”——未知
What we do in life matters regardless of who praises or validates us for making good choices. But what makes our choices enjoyable is our willingness to share them with other people.
我们在生活中所做与那些评头论足的人无关。不过，使我们的选择变得令人愉快的是我们愿意与其他人共享它们。
We live surrounded by them, and yet we sometimes choose to shut ourselves off, waiting until a feeling passes, or a situation changes, a moment feels more worthy.
我们生活在选择中，但有时我们选择关闭自己，等待直到感觉消失、或形势变化、感觉更有价值的瞬间。
No moment will ever by more worthy of enjoying than now. No day will be more worthy of sharing with people you love than this one.
没有哪一刻将永远比现在更值得令人愉快。没有哪一天将比与人分享你所爱的更有值得做。
Connect with the people you love today. Send a note, make a call, leave a Facebook comment. Reach out, tell them what’s going on in your life, and ask what’s going on in theirs. Everything has more meaning when you remember you’re part of something larger than yourself
今天就与你爱的人联络。寄一张纸条、打电话、给他的Facebook评论。伸出手，和他们谈谈你的生活，问他们的生活如何。当你记住你是比你本身更为庞大的事物的一部分，一切都更有意义。
Nov 11
丹每日谏言 关系, 朋友, 陌生
“The shortest distance between new friends is a smile.” -Unknown
“新朋友之间的最短距离是一个微笑。”——未知
The Doors once sang, “People are strange when you’re a stranger.” It’s true–everything seems distant and scary when you’re scared and removed.
Doors乐队曾经唱道：“People are strange when you’re a stranger.（当你是一个陌生人时，人们都很陌生)”。这是真的——当你感到害怕和被排挤时，一切似乎都疏远而可怕。
We are all the same. We all want to connect with people and feel that they get us. Give that to someone else today. Smile. Open up. Be vulnerable and available. It’s amazing how receptive people can become when they feel it’s safe to let their guard down.
我们都是一样的。我们都希望与人成为朋友，并感觉被他们所接纳。今天就去把微笑送给别人吧！敞开胸口，平平易近人。你将会为此惊讶：当他们感到安全、放下他们的警惕，人们能变得多么善于接纳。
Nov 10
丹每日谏言 付出, 获取
“Giving always opens the way for receiving.” -Unknown
“付出永远开启获取之路。”——未知
The most loving thing we can do for someone else is give without expectations; and yet we all need to receive, as well. We all need to receive love, kindness, understanding, attention, and support from the people around us.
我们能为别人做的、最具爱意的事情就是不加期待地付出；然而我们都需要获取。我们都需要从我们身边的人获取爱、善意、理解、关注和支持。
Though communication is the first step in getting what you need, another smart approach is to be willing to give it first.
虽然沟通是得到你所需要的第一步，而另一个聪明的做法是首先愿意付出。
Tell someone you love them if you want to receive love. Tell someone you’re there for them if you want to receive support. Tell someone you understand them if you want to be understood.
如果你希望得到爱，告诉别人你爱他们。如果你想获得支持，告诉别人你支持他们。如果你想要被理解，告诉别人你理解他们。
What you get back may not look exactly as you visualized it, but you open yourself up to greater possibilities when you’re willing to show people what it means to be giving.
你的所得可能不是和你所预期的那样一致，但当你发愿向人们展示付出的意义时，你拥抱了更伟大的可能。
