Change yourself
If your life feels like it lacks the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.
Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control the situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

改變自己
如果你感覺生活缺少你需要的動力和激情，或許你就要改變一下自己的觀點。
如果你讓自己的想法集中在事情好的一面，你將有更大的動力去達到你的目標，而不會讓消極的想法限制你的能力，讓你停止不前。
如果你選擇變換角度，你的生活會豁然開朗，幸福快樂會接踵而來。不要把自己的未來任憑機會擺布，也不要等待局面會不可思議地自動變好。你必須與內心希望與熱情步調一致。建立自信，敢于與困難斗爭，而不是選擇逃避困難。記住，生活的動力未必能使你把握局勢，你處理問題的應變能力才是最重要的。
要相信美好事情的發生總是可能的，記住失敗可以成為教訓，它能引領你作出新的發現。將你的害怕轉變成信任，學會越過憂慮和彷徨。將你的“焦慮時間”換成“創造時間”。把你浪費了的精力用在你能涉及的有意義的事上面。當你嘗試經歷生活的快樂時，你會發現會發生許多美好的事情。當你采用積極的想法去應對日常事情，并讓這些成為你的世界里的重要的部分時，你會找到幸福和快樂。
【人生啟迪】
有位哲人曾說過這樣一句話：“生活是無可選擇的，對它，你們必須接受。唯一的選擇就是如何生活。”改變自己是一種成熟，一種勇氣，一種修養，同時更是一種睿智。改變自己的結果常會豐富人生的內涵，完成自我的超越，獲得人生的成功。
