You can't control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out.
Here are ten such truths…
1. Not until you are lost in this world can you begin to find your true self.(迷失之后才能开始寻找真我) Realizing you are lost is the first step to living the life you want. The second step is leaving the life you don't want. Making a big life change is pretty scary. But you know what's even scarier? Regret. Vision without action is a daydream, and action without vision is a nightmare. Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it.
2. It's usually the deepest pain which empowers you to grow to your full potential. (最深刻的痛苦往往能激发出你全部的成长潜能)It's the scary, stressful choices that end up being the most worthwhile. Without pain, there would be no change. But remember, pain, just like everything in life, is meant to be learned from and then released.
3. One of the hardest decisions you will ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or take another step forward.(生活中最艰难的决定之一，就是选择放弃还是继续前进) If you catch yourself in a cycle of trying to change someone, or defending yourself again someone who is trying to change you, walk away. But if you are pursuing a dream, take another step. And don't forget that sometimes this step will involve modifying your dream, or planning a new one - it's OK to change your mind or have more than one dream.
4. You have to take care of yourself first.(先管好自己再去取管别人) Before befriending others, you have to be your own friend. Before correcting others, you have to correct yourself. Before making others happy, you have to make yourself happy. It's not called selfishness, it's called personal development. Once you balance yourself, only then can you balance the world around you.
5. One of the greatest freedoms is truly not caring what everyone else thinks of you.(最大的自由是不在意别人对你的看法) As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself, can you own yourself.
6. The only thing you can absolutely control is how you react to things out of your control.(你唯一可以控制的是在失控面前的态度) The more you can adapt to the situations in life, the more powerful your highs will be, and the more quickly you'll be able to bounce back from the lows in your life. Put most simply: being at peace means being in a state of complete acceptance of all that is, right here, right now.
7. Some people will lie to you.(总有一些人会对你说谎) Remember, an honest enemy is better than a friend who lies. Pay less attention to what people say, and more attention to what they do. Their actions will show you the truth, which will help you measure the true quality of your relationship in the long-term.
8. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never have enough.(如果你只会看到自己没有什么，那么你永远也不会满足) If you are thankful for what you do have, you will end up having even more. Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold; happiness dwells in the soul. Abundance is not about how much you have, it's how you feel about what you have. When you take things for granted, your happiness gets taken away. Read The Happiness Project.
9. Yes, you have failed in the past.(理性看待过去的失败) But don't judge yourself by your past, you don't live there anymore. Just because you're not where you want to be today doesn't mean you won't be there someday. You can turn it all around in the blink of an eye by making a simple choice to stand back up - to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.
10. Everything is going to be alright; maybe not today, but eventually.(一切都会好起来，也许不是现在，但一定在不远的将来) There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. And you might feel like you will be stuck in this rut forever, but you won't. Sure the sun stops shining sometimes, and you may get a huge thunderstorm or two, but eventually the sun will come out to shine. Sometimes it's just a matter of us staying as positive as possible in order to make it to see the sunshine break through the clouds again.
