想要活得精彩？先突破這五個障礙！

"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." -- Oscar Wilde

生活是人生中最寶貴的東西，而大多數(shù)人只是活著，僅此而已。——王爾德

Oscar Wilde was right -- it's rare to "live". "Living" will not mean the same thing for everyone reading this. Some may want to be a parent; others may want to travel the world experiencing new cultures. Whatever "truly living" means to you, it's time to stop suppressing that little voice. Life is short, and there's no guarantee of a tomorrow, today is the right time to start a journey that you'll look back on later in life and smile about.

王爾德是對的。去生活確實彌足珍貴。也許對每個正在讀這篇文章的人來說，“生活”的含義不盡相同。也許有人渴望為人父母，也許有人希望環(huán)游世界、體驗全新的文化。無論“活得精彩”對你的含義是什么，是時候釋放出內(nèi)心壓抑著的呼聲了。人生苦短。明天是未知的，而今天則是開啟新旅程的最佳時機，去做一些日后回想起來會讓你嘴角上揚的事情吧。

To get there -- to get to your "dream life" or whatever truly living means to you -- it starts with overcoming the hurdles that have or may be holding you back. You can overcome these five hurdles; it starts with making a choice: give up or keeping moving forward no matter what? I hope you choose the latter.

想要達到理想中的生活，不論它對你意味著什么，首先要突破這五個拖你后腿的障礙。你可以克服它們的，就先從這個選擇開始：是放棄還是無論如何也要迎難而上?希望你選擇后者。

1. Lingering Self-Limiting Beliefs

1、沉溺于自我限制的執(zhí)念中

Each of us struggles with doubt and fear. There are things we tell our self that keeps us from even thinking about what we want from our life. These self-limiting beliefs convince us that what we want to do in life is too hard or too crazy. Stop believing these beliefs and go for your dreams anyway. This is YOUR life, and you only get one of them. Make it count.

我們每個人都時刻掙扎于懷疑和恐懼中。我們會自我暗示，讓自己遠離人生追求，甚至想都不敢去想。這些自我限制的執(zhí)念使我們堅信自己的人生目標過于困難和瘋狂。停止這些執(zhí)念，去追尋你的夢想吧。這是你的人生，是獨一無二、一去不回的，希望你不要虛度此生。

2. Listening to Negative People

2、聽信充滿負能量的人

Negative people will try to convince you that you'll fail and that you shouldn't even try. Their attitude and words are toxic and should be avoided if you're making to make big changes in your life. They can't see past their anger, but you can if you choose to purge them from your life.

充滿負能量的人會勸你說，你注定要失敗的，試都不用試。他們的態(tài)度和言語暗藏毒藥，如果你想要改變?nèi)松脑?，就得對他們敬而遠之。他們被憤怒蒙蔽了雙眼，而你還能看得清，你要做的就是把這些人從你的生活中清除。

3. Bad Habits

3、壞習慣

Forming good habits is the key to lasting change that leads to a life of truly living. Bad habits will keep you from having the mindset and taking the necessary steps to making changes in your life. It can be habits related to your health or mind, but the bad ones will keep you stuck.

形成良好的習慣是作出改變、通向精彩人生的關鍵。壞習慣會使你遠離良好的心態(tài)，阻礙你邁出改變的步伐。習慣和一個人的健康、心理狀態(tài)密切相關，而壞習慣會把人推入泥沼。

4. Information Overload

4、信息過剩

When you want to make a big change, you start the journey with researching what you want to do. A problem can arise when all you do is research. You tell yourself you want to learn more before you act, and it keeps you from acting for years. You experience information overload and become paralyzed because you're not sure what to do first. The best thing you can do is learn and then implement. Taking action is the key to truly living.

當你渴望做出改變，就會開始對你想做的事展開研究。但如果你除了研究其他什么也不做，那么問題就來了。你告訴自己在行動之前要了解更多，然后就這么拖了幾年都沒有行動。這時，你就處于信息過剩的狀態(tài)中，不知所措，因為你不確定要從哪里開始。最好的辦法就是學習，然后執(zhí)行。行動是精彩生活的關鍵。

5. Fear of Failure

5、害怕失敗

The fear of failure is natural and something everyone struggles with. We don't want to look bad, and we have a hard time hearing NO. The thing to understand is that failure is an important part of life because it teaches us valuable life lessons. If you look at any successful person, they'll tell you they embraced failure because it meant they were taking action. Change your perspective on failure and view it as an important part of growing.

對失敗的恐懼是正常的，也是每個人都想要極力擺脫的。我們不想讓自己難堪，擔心被拒絕。要知道，失敗是人生中重要的環(huán)節(jié)，因為它能教會你重要的一課。如果你回顧任何一個成功人士的案例，他們都會告訴你，他們坦然接受失敗，因為這證明了他們有在行動。改變你對失敗的看法吧，把它當作成長中至關重要的一部分。

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it to live instead of existing. If you start today, you're one more day closer.

一切都不會容易，但為了“生活”而不僅僅是“活著”，這些都是值得的。如果你從今天開始改變，你就離成功更近了一天。
