As the Dalai
Lama once said, “If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can
do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not
fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in
worrying whatsoever.”

(達賴喇嘛說過:「如果問題可以被解決，如果你還能去改變這個狀況，那你就不需要操心。如果問題真的沒辦法解決，那再多的擔心也是徒勞無功」

In other
words, worry will not strip tomorrow of its burdens, it will strip today of its
possibilities.(換句話說，擔心不會減輕明天的負擔它反而會剝奪當下的可能性。)

Be
proactive. Stop simply worrying about…(所以積極主動停止去擔心下列的事情)

1.
The challenges you face. （你所面臨的挑戰）

Challenges are not here to worry
about; they are here to help you grow.（挑戰不需要擔心，它反而會幫助你成長）

Challenges are
what make life interesting, and overcoming them is what makes life
meaningful. （挑戰會讓你的人生變得有趣，只要戰勝它你的人生會變得有意義），

2.
Less than ideal conditions you can’t control.(你無法控制的理想狀況)

There is no good reason to deny
yourself the opportunity to do something extraordinary. Life is about
making a difference, and you will never run out of ways to do that.（的確這世上沒有任何事情去否定你做超越自己的事情。但人生是有區別的，你不可能每件事都可以做的很完美）

3.
The reasons it might not work.(可能會失敗的原因)

Your doubts are little enemies
living in your mind that make you lose battles you are capable of
winning. They stir fear into your conscious and keep you wishing instead
of DOING. In other words, they disrupt necessary action.（你心中的懷疑有可能會讓你輸掉你原本可能會贏的戰鬥。它會挑起你恐懼而不希望你意識上還保持著一定要做的想法。換句話說，它會干擾你原本應採取的行動。）

4.
Everyone else’s dreams.（其他人的夢想）

Start worrying about your own
dreams. They are unique and undeniably yours for a reason. They are
showing you, and at the same time compelling you, to make the most of
your life. It is not selfish to be your very best. What’s selfish is to
let your enormous potential go unrealized.（開始去煩惱你的夢想，它們是獨一無二無可否認的。你的夢想會使你表現自己同時強迫你去完成你的人生。這不是自私，自私是讓你無窮的潛力無法實現。）

5.
Love that isn’t true.（愛是不存在的）

The true kind of love involves
attention, awareness, discipline, effort, and being able to truly care about
someone and sacrifice for them, continuously, in countless petty little unsexy
ways, every day. You put your arms around them and love them regardless,
even when they’re not so lovable. And of course they do the same for you.（真正的愛包含每天連續的注意力，意識，紀律，努力，及能夠關心別人並為他人犧牲在一些小及瑣碎的事件中發生。你需要敞開你的雙臂去擁抱愛即便它不是這麼的需要被關愛。當你做了這些，你也會有相同的回報。

6.
Other people’s temper tantrums.(其他人的壞脾氣)

Losing your temper with people who
have already lost theirs does not accomplish anything, but only sets you out
upon a path of foolishness and frustration. When you maintain enough
self-control to stand firm at the moment when another person is in a temper
tantrum, you will win in the end. （對一個已經無法成就任何事情的人發脾氣只會讓你顯得愚蠢及挫折。當其他人對你發脾氣時，你只要維持一定的自律及站穩自己的立場，你就會贏得最終的勝利。）

7.
More and more work that ONLY makes money.（越來越多只會讓你得到錢的工作）

Forget about the easy street or
fast lane mentalities. If you really want to do something
wonderful with your life, harness the power of the ideas and efforts that move
you. Honor your instincts. Trust your heart and true wealth will
come to you.

(忘記可以讓你容易且快速取得錢財的捷徑。如果你真想用自己的生命做一些精彩的事情，運用你的想法及努力的力量。尊重你的直覺及內心，真正的財富會來找你的。
