人生不留遺憾：今天就去做的12件事

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。

十年后你可能會(huì)問(wèn)：我這輩子是怎么過(guò)來(lái)的?如果用心生活，你會(huì)盡情過(guò)好每分每秒，而正是這些分分秒秒構(gòu)成了全部生活;要是麻木生活，你會(huì)錯(cuò)失生活中美好的瞬間，以后只留下一抹模糊的掠影。享受里程碑間的間歇時(shí)光吧——這些就是你的生活呵。

10. Stop chasing money, fame, and possessions

停止追逐金錢(qián)、名利和財(cái)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。

我們渴望財(cái)富、聲望與名利，我們渴望物質(zhì)和俊男美女。我們錯(cuò)誤地以為，只要得到這些，幸福就會(huì)降臨。我們忘了要享受生活、忽視當(dāng)下時(shí)光，轉(zhuǎn)而樂(lè)此不疲地追求其他東西。

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。

咽氣之際，你腦中閃現(xiàn)的或許不是寶馬汽車(chē)，而是讓你微笑的忠誠(chéng)老狗。停止追逐物質(zhì)財(cái)富吧。物質(zhì)并不能帶來(lái)真正的快樂(lè)，只會(huì)招來(lái)永無(wú)止境的貪婪。

11. 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

“感恩開(kāi)啟生活的圓滿。它使我們擁有更多，變拒絕為接受，化混亂為有序，使困惑變澄澈。它能將簡(jiǎn)餐變成盛宴、房屋變成家園、陌生人變成好朋友。”——梅洛迪-貝蒂

Gratitude improves health, happiness, spirituality, connection, relationships, self-worth and simply gives life intense meaning。

感恩改善健康、快樂(lè)、精神、關(guān)系、人際和自我價(jià)值，并賦予生活深刻內(nèi)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(其實(shí)生活從來(lái)不曾完美)，你仍有許多可以感恩的地方。所以，每天要記得微笑大笑，感激生活中或大或小的樂(lè)趣。

12. Love

愛(ài)心

This is an excerpt by the famous Martha Beck that has made an enormous impact on my life. It sums up regret beautifully:

下面一段話摘自瑪莎-貝克的文字，把遺憾總結(jié)非常美妙，我感到受益匪淺：

“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?”

“最后一課是關(guān)于遺憾。能指引你走向豐富而圓滿的未來(lái)的是：每次生活中遇到十字路口，不論大小，都選擇愛(ài)心那條路，而不是恐懼方向。每次都告訴自己‘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。

關(guān)注生活中的點(diǎn)滴愛(ài)心，慢慢你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)，每天的生活都那么豐富而美妙!

So let’s summarize: A cheat sheet to living without regrets

There is no guarantee that you won’t make any bad decisions, but when you start living your life with these tools in mind, your days will naturally become meaningful. Your wise eyes will be full of adventure and tales: adventures that might not be perfect, but at the very least won’t be filled with regrets。

誰(shuí)也不能保證你絕不會(huì)做出糟糕的決定，但一旦你在生活中謹(jǐn)記以上建議，一切自然會(huì)變得充滿意義。你的眼里寫(xiě)滿冒險(xiǎn)和故事：冒險(xiǎn)或許并不完美，但絕對(duì)會(huì)讓你無(wú)悔!
