学以致用

     So you want to be a better you this year, and have the life you say you want, the ever elusive dream. The dream that lingers year after year until you know if you don’t do something about it, you will simply fade into oblivion.

     在这一年里你想超越自己，过上你念念不忘、梦寐以求的生活，实现遥不可及的梦。梦想年复一年地徘徊，直到你明白如果再不做点什么，你将会淡忘它的存在。

     Now the New Year is here! What will you do? Will you once again set intentions and resolutions only to be disappointed? Or will you set intentions and resolutions, create a plan and move into action.

     现在新的一年就在眼前！你要做什么？你还要继续纸上谈兵，最后失望而归吗？还是你会运用你的意愿和方式，做一个计划并付诸实践呢？

     Now you may be thinking, create a plan, is she crazy? I don’t have time for that! I’m already busy enough and she wants me to take time from my busy life and create a plan.   

    Yes, you’re exactly right! I know that life can be very busy and without a plan, your dream will remain a dream.

    你可能在想：做计划，她疯了吗？我哪有时间做那个！我已经够忙了，她还想让我从百忙之中抽出时间做计划！

    是的，完全正确！我知道你的生活很忙碌，但是如果没有计划，梦想将永远只是个梦。

    Life is about choosing. Claiming and using your right to choose is very important in having the life you say you want, turning your dream into reality. Throughout the year, when you find that you’re wavering, ask, “is this my dream and how bad do I want it”. If you’re motivated by your answer, you know you’re on the right track.

    生活是充满了选择的。大声讲出来并行使你的选择权对于过上你渴望的生活是至关重要的，能让你梦想成真。在这一年之中，当你发现你在犹豫不决，就问问自己，“这是不是我的梦想？我有多渴望实现它？”。如果你的答案能够鼓舞你，那你就站在了正确的轨道上。

    So that this year will be different and since you’ve waited to get started, here are some tips to help you make meaningful resolutions and set intentions that support you in having the life you say you want. Your dream is awaiting your action.

    所以这一年将是不同寻常的一年，由于在开始之前你已经等了很久，让我告诉你一些秘诀帮你有效地解决问题，并做出能使你过上梦想中生活的决定。梦想在即，等待你追随的脚步。

     Each day is a new opportunity to choose. Just in case you’re wondering where to start, my friend Sallie Felton gives excellent advice with, “Start where you stand.”

     每天都会有新的机遇等待你去选择。为了不让你担心该从哪开始，我的朋友莎莉·菲尔顿给出了很好的建议：“就从你脚下开始。”

     Saying that you want something different without thinking and acting differently ensures that you continue to have your pipe dream. Are you willing to stop procrastinating and  start doing? Imagine the difference you will experience knowing that you took full responsibility and control in creating the life you say you want!

    你总是在念叨想要不同的生活，却不想也不做不同的事，这会保证你永远做的是白日梦。你想要不再耽搁时间并开始做事吗？发挥你的想象力，假设你终于完全负责并主宰自己的圆梦之路，尽情想象到那时的不同感受吧！

     Wishing you joy, health, prosperity and love in the New Year!

     愿新的一年中，快乐、健康、成功和爱常伴你左右！
