行动起来改善生活 文/荷叶 许多人认为他们必须接受生活中遇到的一切。他们说:“这就是我的命,我无法改变。” 当然不是这样。 你不必委曲求全。你的命运取决于你,而不取决于任何外在因素。 我认识一个人,她说她只能接受生活赐予她的一切,因为她已经尽她所能来改善生活了。 猜猜她的生活方式是什么? 她早上起床,上班,回家,放松,聊天,看电视,然后睡觉。第二天,继之以同样平淡乏味的循环。 嗯?!?这就是她说的“尽最大努力”? 她认为她已经尽力了,在内心里接受这就是上帝给她安排的生活,只能听天由命。 上帝当然希望我们幸福,生活圆满。但我们也要付出自己的一份努力来实现自己的梦想。 播种什么收获什么。 你不能坐等百万美元从天而降。你必让须身体离开沙发,眼睛离开电视,双手离开手机(除非这有助于你取得成功),然后全向心投入工作! 如果生活不能如你所愿,不要只是说:“我们的时代会来的。”或者说“总有一天情况会有所好转。” 除非你做点什么,不要指望运气会自行改变。如果出了问题,不要只是把它看作一时的挫折,而要把它看成一种反馈。汲取教训,最大限度地利用当时的状况,采取措施解决问题。 光积极思考远远不够,还要积极行动。 如果某人的生活陷入困境,你能只是希望和祈祷情况变好吗?当然不行!你得采取措施来拯救这个人。 你的生活也是一样。仅仅希望最好是不够的,还要做到最好。 换言之,不要只是站在那里或坐在那里,做些事情来改善自己的生活! 附:原文 Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it." Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not onany other external factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because shehas done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routinary cycle ensues. Huh?!? Is this what she calls "doing her best?" She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, butwe have to do our share of exerting the effort to live the life of our dreams. You reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from thesky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work! If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say:"Our time will come." or "Things will get better some day." Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to resolve the problem. It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive. If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You got to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improveyour life!
