  The Wholeness of Life
  Anonymous
  Once a circle missed a wedge1。 The circle wanted to be whole; so it went around looking for its missing piece。 But because it was inplete, and therefore could roll only very slowly。 It admired the flowers along the way; It chatted with worms; It enjoyed the sunshine;It found lots of different pieces; but none of them fit。 So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching。 Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly。 It was so happy。 Now it could be whole; with nothing missing。 It incorporated2 the missing piece into itself and began to roll。 Now that it was a perfect circle; it could roll very fast; too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms。 When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly; it stopped; left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly again。
  The lesson of the story; I suggested; was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something。 The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man。 He will never know what it feels like to yearn; to hope; to nourish his soul with the dream of something better。 He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him give him something he has always wanted or never had。

健全的人生(2)
There is a wholeness about the person who has e to terms with his limitations; who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so。 There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive; she can lose someone and still feel like a plete person。
  Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn3 us for failing。  Life is not a spelling bee; where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right; you’re disqualified if you make one mistake。 Life is more like a baseball season; where even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance。 Our goal is to win more games than we lose。 When we accept that imperfection is part of being human; and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it; we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to。 That; I believe; is what God asks of us—not“Be perfect”;  not “Don’t even make a mistake”; but “Be whole”。
  If we are brave enough to love; strong enough to forgive; generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness; and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all; then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know。

计划自己的人生
佚名
  一个所谓的成长的现实就是对你生命中的可能与不可能的顺从和接受。想象你对自己或别人对你说了多少次“现在现实点儿……”天啊!现实的基础是什么?是社会的期望?是想减轻我们与期望的结果失之交臂的痛苦的父母的担心?还是我们朋友和亲人的才能和能力?而今,现实是管理自己的期望和确保自己的安全的一种方法。然而,这首先是自己不敢去尝试一次冒险和一段非凡的经历的一个很好的借口。
  在过去与成千上万人的交往中,我发现,很多人甚至不允许他们自己去梦想。我发现,很难去想象人类拒绝自身最伟大的能力时的那种钝化的疼痛,那种证明和共同创造现实的那种能力。
  你曾降低你的追求或者束缚你的梦想、热情或想象吗?如果你这样做过,接下来的五分钟里我要求你别太现实,别审视你的需求、梦想和渴望。只要随你自己的思想和感情来回答下面的问题。什么是你想要的?你想成为什么样的人?想做什么?想拥有什么?在海滩上生活,周游世界各地,建立一个家庭,开创一份事业,培养一段恋情,学习另一种语言,成为一位富翁,退休,游戏,教书,分享你所知道的,传递你的创造力……你想要什么?让自己的思维跳出肤浅的答案,想想你真正想要的是什么?
  当你脑海中的画面变得越来越清晰时,我希望你能抓住其中的一页,并在上面加上标题:我的理想生活。写下你的理想生活:你在哪里,感觉如何,和谁在一起,你们的关系怎样,你如何打发时间,你怎样描述你对世界的贡献。不要仅仅是翻过这一页,或者只是在你的头脑中思考这些。事实上,你应有意识地抽出一些时间来计划一下你想创造的人生和阅历。悲哀的是,大部分人用更多的时间来计划他们的婚礼,而不是他们的生活!你书面的理想生活将是实现你的每个需求、希望的蓝图。每天都读一读、温习一下你的理想生活,并和别人一起分享。从现在开始寻求帮助,迈出向它挺进的步伐吧!
  当你的梦想开始实现的时候,我坚信理查德?巴赫对此的话语是最贴切的:“你没有被赋予实现梦想的能力,那么你将永远被给予希望。不过,你或许可以为之而努力。”
  Design Your Own Life
  Anonymous
  One of the so…called realities of growing up is the resignation1 and acceptance of what is or is not possible in our lives。 Consider how many times you have been told or have said to yourself “Now be realistic。。。” OUCH!!! Realistic based upon what? The expectations of society? The fears of our parents who wanted to “save” us the pain of unmet2 expectations and failure? The capacity and capability of our friends and siblings? Now being realistic3 can be a way of managing your expectations and making sure you are safe; however it can also be a great excuse not to risk and a marvelous4 story of why you should not even try in the first place。
  Something that I have discovered in the past decade of working with thousands of people is that many people will not even allow themselves to dream。 I find it difficult to image the dull ache of denying one of our greatest capacities as human beings; the ability to manifest and co…create our reality。
  Have you been lowering your wants or blocking your dreams; passion and vision? If that is true for you; for the next five minutes I am going to ask you not to be realistic; not to censor5 your wants; dreams and desires。 Just allow yourself to be free with your thoughts and feelings in order to answer the following questions。 What do you want? What do you want to be; do and have? Live on the beach; travel round the world; start a family; start a business; create a loving relationship; learn another language; bee a millionaire; retire; play; teach and share what you know; express your creativity。。。 What do you want? Allow yourself to go past the surface answers and get to what it is that you truly want。
  As the picture bees clearer and clearer; I want you to grab a piece of paper and title it “My Ideal Life”。 Write down your ideal life; where you are; how you feel; who you are with; the quality of your relationships; what you do with your time and how you express your unique contribution to the world。 Do not just turn the page or think about it in your head; actually take some time to consciously design your life and the experiences you want to create。 The sad truth is that most people spend more time planning their wedding day than they spend planning their lives!Your written ideal life bees your blueprint to manifest6 everything you want to be; do and have in your life。 Read and review our ideal life daily。 Share it with others。 Ask for support and begin taking steps toward making it a reality now!
  When it es to manifesting your dreams; I believe that Richard Bach said it best; “You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it e true。 You may have to work for it; however。”
  

让内心的灯指引你
佚名
  当你必须独自站立的时刻来临时,你一定要有足够的自信去追寻自己的梦想,并要做好准备为之有所牺牲。
  你必须拥有改变自己和决定轻重缓急的能力,这样,你的最终目标才能实现。
  有时,你需要挑战熟悉和安逸;有时,你需要抓住更多的机会,创造属于自己的未来。
  你要足够坚强,至少,要试着使自己的生活更美好。
  要相信自己,而不要轻易妥协,不要得过且过。
  要欣赏自己,给自己成长、发展的机会,并找到自己生活的真正意义所在。
  不要活在别人的阴影里,属于你的阳光会指引你前进的道路。
  努力去做自己喜欢做的事,努力克服所有的障碍。
  笑对自己的过失,从中吸取教训,并引以为豪。
  摘些花朵,欣赏大自然的美。
  向陌生人问好,享受熟人的陪伴。
  别害怕流露真情,放声大笑、纵情哭泣会让你感觉更好。
  全心全意地爱你的家人、朋友,他们是你生活中最重要的部分。
  在阳光灿烂的日子里,感受安宁。
  寻找彩虹,活在梦想的世界,永远记住,生活比看上去的更美好。
  Allow Your Own Inner
  Light to Guide You
  Anonymous
  There es a time when you must stand alone。 You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams。 You must be willing to make sacrifices。
  You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities; so that your final goal can be achieved。
  Sometimes; familiarity and fort need to be challenged。 There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities。
  Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better。
  Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a promise just to get by。
  Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow; develop; and find your true sense of purpose in this life。
  Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s your sunlight that should lead the way。
  Work hard at what you like to do and try to overe all obstacles。
  Laugh at your mistakes and praise yourself for learning from them。
  Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature。
  Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know。
  Don’t be afraid to show your emotions; laughing and crying make you feel better。
  Love your friends and family with your entire being for they are the most important part of your life。
  Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day。
  Find a rainbow and live your world of dreams; always remember life is better than it seems。
  

打造“全新的你”
佚名
  处理问题的方式并不影响你成功的可能性,这很令人惊讶。准备充分并运用独特技艺能对结果产生决定性的作用。以下策略将有助于你目标的实现。
  1。制定一个可预测结果的目标和一个有助于目标实现的计划。决心不明确就会使计划很难实施。
  2。相信自己。调查研究表明,成功人士都相信自己能改变事情的现状。
  3。鼓励自己。适当地给予自己一些特殊的奖赏,如外出玩个通宵或修一次指甲和脚,这些都是有益的自我缓解方式。
  4。对自己宽容。研究发现,第一个月后,成功者与失败者犯同样多的错,只是成功者将错误当成教训,警示自己以更大的决心去实现目标。而那些失败者却说,再次的失败证明他们没有实现目标的能力。
  … 心灵小语
  成功者与失败者犯同样多的错,只是他们对待错误的方式不同。成功者会从中吸取教训以达到自己的目标,而失败者则认为自己没有实现目标的能力。
  Personalize Your “New You” Plan
  Anonymous
  Surprisingly; your odds of success aren’t affected by the kind of resolution you make。 Being ready and using specific skills are what determine the results。 These strategies will help you reach your goal:
  1。 Set a goal with measurable1 results and a plan to help achieve it。 It’s harder to follow through on vague resolutions2。
  2。 Believe in yourself。 Research shows that those who are most successful have the self…confidence that they can change。
  3。 Get reinforcements3。 Special rewards; liked night out or a manicure and pedicure; can help you stay on track。
  4。 Forgive yourself。 In a research; after the first month; the people who were successful slipped up4 just as many times as those who failed。 But they see it as a reason to remit5; a reminder to refocus on their goal with more determination。 Those who are unsuccessful say a relapse is evidence that they can’t do it。
