生命的美好

尽管有很多事让人忧虑，但相比而言，值得感激的事要多得多。尽管生命的美好有时被蒙上阴影，但它却永远不会被埋没。

相对于每一个无谓的破坏行为而言，都有更多数以千计更为微小的，包含着爱，友善和同情的举动静静地上演着。相对于每一个试图伤害他人的人而言，都有更多的人致力于帮助他人，治愈他人的创伤。

生命的美好不能否认。

在最为壮观的前景和最为琐碎的细节中，请仔细观察，因为美好的事物总是散发着耀眼的光芒闪亮登场。

生命的美好没有界限。每一次相遇都会使这美好变得越发丰富。你经历得越多，越能欣赏生命的美好，生命中的美好就会变得越多。

即使当寒风袭来，整个世界似乎被雾气掩盖之时，生命的美好仍会存在。睁开双眼，打开心扉，你就会发现这美好无处不在。

尽管生命的美好有时似乎遭受挫折，但它总会挺过来。因为，在最黑暗的时刻，有一点变得格外清楚，那就是，生命是无价的财富。因此，下正是与生命的美好相对立的事物使其越发强大。

无数次地，当你担心这美好已经远离之时，你会发现生命的美好其实只与你相隔须臾。它就在下一角落，存在于每个时刻之间，等着给你惊喜。

花些时间让生命的美好感动自己的灵魂，放松自己的思绪。然后，把你的幸运与他人分享。因为生命的美好会在每次给予之间变得越来越壮观。

尽管总是有问题让你去关注，冲突也似乎愈演愈烈，但生命的美好却总是静静地，平和地，带着比以往更强的意志和更多的价值变得更加强大。

My community and state are still recovering from the catastrophe that struck recently. A wall of storms with hurricane force winds struck late on a Friday evening knocking down trees, blocking roads, damaging homes, and destroying power lines.

最近的一次灾难给我们的州、我们的社区带来了很大的影响。暴风雨夹杂着飓风在周五的晚上登陆，树木被刮倒，道路被封锁，家园被摧毁，电路被中断。

Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly found themselves in the dark without water, electricity, air conditioning, telephones, internet, and television. They found themselves cut off from the modern world enduring sweltering 90 degree plus heat with no help and no idea when it would be over.

数以万计的人生活在黑暗缺水的环境中，因为电路的中断，无法使用空调、电话，也不能上网、看电视。受灾群众发现自己彻底和外界断了联系，忍受着华氏90度(32摄氏度)以上的高温，束手无策，而且不知道生活何时能恢复正常。

The most amazing thing happened, however, as the reality of the crisis sank in: it brought out the best in us. While there were a few acts of selfishness and stealing they were overwhelmed by the wave of love and compassion that came from the hearts of so many.

但是不可思议的事情发生了，尽管危机降临，但是它让我们激发了我们最好的本质。尽管也偶尔有自私和偷盗的行为，我们绝大多数人都沐浴在爱和热情之中。

People shared their food, ice, and gasoline. People who still had power opened their homes to those who had none. People rushed out to clear roads and homes of fallen trees. Selfless power crews worked around the clock to repair the damage and restore electricity.

我们互相之间分享食物、冰块、汽油。家里还有电的人会向那些家里断电的人敞开家门。人们自发的跑到街上清理道路和家中倒下的树木。无私的电力维修工争分夺秒修理电路，恢复供电。

People gathered on front porches to talk, share hugs and offer words of hope and faith that God would see them through it all. Strangers came together as one family to help each other in this time of great need.

人们在前门廊交谈鼓劲、相互拥抱，说着神明如果看到他们的遭遇会给他们带来希望和信仰。

It was such a joy seeing all these people acting like true Children of God under the most trying of circumstances.

面对如此困境，这些人就像上帝之子散播的善良，不禁让人心生欣慰。

Life's disasters strike all of us from time to time. No one is spared.

生活中的灾难总会时不时给我们打击。无人能幸免。

We all get hurt. We all get challenged.

我们都会受伤，我们都会遇到挑战。

We all get squeezed by difficulties during our days here.

我们都会被生活的磨难压榨。

How we respond to them, though, is up to us.

不过，我们怎么样应对则它取决于我们自己。

We can let them bring out the worst is us or we can let them bring out the best in us. We can react to them like demons of selfishness or like angels of love.

他们可以让我们展现最丑陋的一面，也可以让我们展现最善良的一面，我们可以变成魔鬼般的自私也可以变成天使般的仁爱。

May you always bring the best from your heart and soul to whatever life may throw at you then. May you live all of your days here with so much love that Heaven sings and God smiles.

愿不管生活如何待你，你都能还以发自内心的善良。愿你此生浸润在爱中，就像天堂的笙歌和上帝的微笑。

I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it. This habit annoyed first my Mom, then my friends, and finally even my own daughter.

我有一个换习惯就是看书看到一半，就翻到最后看结局。我的母亲、我的朋友以及连我的女儿都很不喜欢我这样。

Often my impatience wouldn't be confined just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well. Finally one day my daughter told me in exasperation, "Dad please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!"

我是个急性子，不光我自己读书这样，我还管着别人读书。最后我的女儿爆发了，“爸爸，你能不能像人家读书一样，每次就读一页!”

At times I haven't limited this bad habit to just books either. I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to do months and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended.

我的急性子不止在读书这个方面。在生活中我也时不时的会这样。想要知道未来几个月甚至几年要做什么，而不是像上帝推崇的那样享受当下。

I knew that the book of my life wasn't done yet and that I had many pages left to go. Still, that didn't stop me from trying to write the ending half-way through.

我知道自己人生的这本书没有结束，还有很多页没有读。然而，我还会臆想结局。

Time and again, I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every conceivable problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.

有时我总是愚蠢地想象着书中的结局，杞人忧天般的考虑着还没发生的问题，我总是能很高兴的自动带入书中情节，不管书中结局怎样。

Life, however, doesn't work like that. God loves to surprise us, and you never know what new problem, change, or opportunity each new day will bring.

然而生活不是这样。上帝喜欢给我们惊喜。每一天你都不会知道自己会遇上什么问题，改变或者机会。

Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again, I found His truth coming from the lips of a special soul who gently told me I needed to "live one day at a time."

最近我发现这个心浮气躁、活在未来的坏习惯又开始作祟。这时我隐隐的感觉到有个神秘的灵魂对我悄声说着“活在当下”。

When I heard those words I smiled, turned the book of my life back to the right page, and thanked God for today.

当我听到这些话，我会心地笑了。感谢上帝让我领悟到如何将人生之书翻到正确的页码。

There is no skipping ahead in the book of life. Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time. Each of us has to have faith in God to help us to write it line by line and moment by moment. Each of us has to trust that our Heavenly Father will bring our story to its perfect end.

人生不可能像看书跳过开头就到看到结尾一样。人生一天一天度过，书也要一页一页读。我们要深信上帝会帮我们书写人生，一行又一行，记录我们的一刻又一刻。最终我们会在上帝的引导之下将人生画上完美的句号。

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 passionate 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 sustain 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 outcome.

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 align 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。

Not until you realize that life itself is a beautiful thing will you really start to live. Although living combines tragedy with splendor, life is beautiful and even tragedies reflect something engaging. If you were simply to live, do more than that; live beautifully.

只有在你了解了人生的真谛后，才能真正地生活。虽然人生苦忧参半，但依旧美妙，而且即使在悲剧中也藏着迷人之处。如果你只是活着，那就再努力点吧，试着活得精彩。

Through the sea of darkness, hope is the light that brings us comfort, faith, and reassurance. It guides our way if we are lost and gives us a foothold on our fears. The moment we lose hope is the moment we surrender our will to live. We live in a world that is disintegrating into a vicious hatred, where hope is needed more than ever but cannot be discerned. Finding that is rare while the world lives in fear, but the belief in something better, something bigger than this, is what keeps life worth living.

在潮水般的黑暗之中，希望是光。它带来舒适、信仰和信心。它在我们迷失时给予指引，在我们恐惧时给予支持。而在我们放弃希望的那一刻，也就放弃了生命。我们生活的世界正瓦解成一个充满恶意和仇恨的地方，在这里我们就更需要希望，却又难以寻得。在这充满恐惧的世界里，找到希望谈何容易，但是，对更好、更有意义的人生的信仰才会让生命有意义。

Then you hear a baby speaking her first word, you see seniors holding hands, you feel the first spring rain, or smell the pine tree at Christmas, and remember that no matter how awful it is, there is always hope. No matter how weak we are, we will always survive.

然后，你听到婴儿说出第一个字、看到老年夫妇挽起对方的手、感受到第一场春雨或是闻到圣诞节松树的味道，你要明白，无论现在多么糟糕，希望永在;无论我们多么脆弱，我们终将是人生的幸存者。

The gas station nearest my house happens to face a strip club. It is apparently a very successful strip club, as they could afford to install a LCD screen on their roof that might be visible from the Space Station. It's certainly visible from the gas station. At some point my eyes will drift up while pumping gas, and there will be a one-story image of a young woman in some stage of near-undress.

离我家最近的加油站对面碰巧有一家脱衣舞夜总会。这家夜总的屋顶装了一个巨大的LED屏幕，说不定在太空上都看得见。能够支付这样的费用，看来经营得非常成功。不用说，在加油站也能看见那块屏幕。在加油的时候，我会不经意地往上看，一层楼高的屏幕上显示着一个几乎一丝不挂的少女。

As I was getting some gas this morning, I wondered for the first time what a woman pumping gas thought when she looked at that screen. Though it would depend on the woman, I thought. A woman who had once been an exotic dancer herself would certainly look at that image differently than a Catholic nun.

今天早上，我又来到这里加油，脑海中突然有一个问题挥之不去：一个女人来加油的时候看到那块屏幕会有什么想法呢?我觉得那要看她是个怎样的人。曾经当过脱衣舞者的女人和天主教的修女肯定会对那个图像有不同的看法。

The image would look different to each of us. And when I say look different, I mean we would be seeing what amounts to a different image. For while the young woman's pose and attire that I see are identical to the pose and attire that every other man, woman, and child sees, the story that image tells me is told uniquely by me, by my own ideas about women and advertising and maybe even gas stations.

那张图像对每个人来说都是不一样的，这个不一样是指我们会产生不一样的想法。虽然那个少女的姿势打扮在每一个男人、女人、小孩眼中都是一样的，但是我在那图像中捕捉到的故事是独一无二的，是由我自身对女人、广告、甚至是加油站的想法创造的。

The image is nothing; the story is everything. Good to remember if you're a writer. Writers don't report the facts. The fact that there is a strip club with a giant LCD screen blazing near-nudity for all to see means nothing in reality. All that ever matters is what a person believes when they look upon it. What a person believes is the terrain of the storyteller.

图像本身什么都不是，故事才是一切。如果你是个作家，你会知道作家并不是描写现实。那儿有一家脱衣舞夜总会，屋顶上有一块巨大的LED屏幕，屏幕上显示着几近裸体的少女，这是现实，没有意义的现实。真正有意义的是人看到这个景象时萌生的想法，人的思想是创作故事的土壤。

And by the way, it is the only terrain of the storyteller. Storytellers, whether they are conscious of it or not, wish to alter reality. We are not so interested in changing the image that flashes on the great LCD screen of the world. Mostly that's beyond our control. We could march, or protest, or fill out petitions to get the screen changed, but it's faster, ultimately, to tell ourselves a story about what we see there.

而且，思想是创作故事的唯一土壤。讲故事的人会有意无意地想去改变现实。我们不是想把现实中大屏幕上惹眼的图像换掉，大多数情况下我们都是有心无力。我们当然可以游行示威，写信请愿把那屏幕换掉，但说到底，更快捷的办法是给自己讲个跟眼前的事物有关的故事。

I sometimes forget I have to power to change that story. My mind drifts as idly from thought to thought as my eyes drift from gas pump to pinup. What occurs in this exchange between the world I look upon and the story I tell can happen so fast, can be so habitual, that I can lose track of who is telling the story I am hearing. The moment I remember, the moment I see my mind as a blank page on which to write my life, I am the author once more, and my life is mine again.

有时候我会忘记自己有改变故事的能力。我的视线四处游动，从汽油管飘忽到半裸少女，我的思维也跟着漫不经心地跳跃。把眼前的事实创作成的自己故事，这就像我的习惯一样，一眨眼的功夫，我已经分不清我到底是在创作故事，还是成为了故事的主人公。等我回过神来的时候，等我空白的脑海重新回想起自己生活的时候，我又重新成为故事的作者，重新回到了自己的生活中。
