We always seem to want those things we don’t have. Moreover, we are often convinced that if we had those things we want so badly, we would finally be happy.
　　我們經(jīng)常會去渴望一些我們并不真正需要的東西。此外，我們經(jīng)常會讓自己相信，如果我們擁有了這些我們夢寐以求的東西，我們就可以終于快樂起來。
　　The truth is that happiness is an attitude. It’s not something created by outside circumstances, but instead is completely within your control.
　　實際上，幸福是一種態(tài)度，它并不是由外界環(huán)境所產(chǎn)生，而是你的內(nèi)心。
　　Nothing will give you a deep sense of satisfaction and happiness, unless you cultivate happiness consciously. Below are some simple yet specific steps you can take to cultivate happiness.
　　沒有任何事物會給你帶來深層次的滿足和快樂，除非你有意識地去滋養(yǎng)幸福。以下是一些簡單而具體的方法，你可以試試去滋養(yǎng)你的幸福。
　　Be grateful
　　Create a sense of gratitude for what you have, for what is working, for what is wonderful and sweet in your life. A morning or evening gratitude list, written each day, can do wonders for helping you feel grateful.
　　學(xué)會感恩
　　培養(yǎng)一顆感恩的心，感恩于你所擁有的，生活中平凡的，美妙的及甜蜜的點點滴滴。每天早上或晚上列一份感恩單會幫助你學(xué)會去感激。
　　Take care of yourself
　　Identify the small things in life that make you feel good, and do one daily. A short walk, a few minutes of writing in your journal, a short meditation, watching the sunset…whatever, will improve your outlook on life.
　　照顧好自己
　　發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中能讓你感覺美好的一些小事，并每天去做一件這樣的小事。一小段林間散步，寫幾分種日記，一小段沉思，看看日落……或者其它，都會增強你對美好生活的信心
　　Read inspirational material
　　It helps to be reminded of positive thoughts and positive attitudes. Get a small book of positive, inspirational thoughts and keep it by your desk. Read one or two thoughts each day.
　　朗讀激勵志文
　　朗讀激勵志文會幫助你建立積極的思想和人生觀。桌上擺放著一本激勵志文小冊子，每天都去朗讀一兩段。
　　Is the glass half empty or full? Life works better when the glass is half full regardless of your life status.
　　你的杯子有一半是空的呢，還是滿的？不管你的生活狀況如何，生活可以更美好，即使你的杯子只裝滿了一半。
　　No matter how many wonderful things you do to create a positive, happy, satisfied life, you could still end up unhappy.
　　Ultimately, happiness, gratitude, a feeling of satisfaction is a choice. So, from now on, choose to be happy!
　　無論你做了多少很棒的事來創(chuàng)建積極的、快樂的、滿意的生活，最終你仍然會覺得不快樂。幸福、感恩、滿足感只是一種選擇。所以從現(xiàn)在開始，請選擇快樂吧！
