在这里：
1.Yes, today, everything is going to be great!
1.是的，今天，一切都会很好！
Your thoughts can heavily influence your actions and also your mood for the day. Choose to read sentences that make you smile. Be grateful for another day that you’re alive. Choose to spend your life with optimistic thoughts and refreshing beliefs, and get rid of any thought that says otherwise. Indeed, every day can be a great day if you want it to be.
我们的想法在很大程度上会左右我们的言行，甚至是一天的心情。阅读一些让人开怀的句子。感谢曾活过的每一天。带着积极地心态和信仰生活，摒弃与之相反的思想。事实上，只要一心希望自己会生活得很好，它就会真的很不错。
2.You are here in this world to make a positive difference.
2.你的存在会对这个世界产生积极的影响。
You were given a gift—a talent or a skill—that you can use to help empower yourself and eventually empower others. Make the most out of it by touching lives and influencing people to change for the better.
我们天生就有一种能力–可以鼓励自己，也可以鼓励他人。多多接触他人，尽可能的影响他人，使他们的生活变得更好。
3.You have the power to spend your life with people who truly matter to you.
3.你有权利和那些对你真诚的人共度一生。
You don’t have to spend the rest of your life with people who don’t treasure you! Yes, you can quit your job if you’re working in a toxic environment. Yes, you can close your business if your business partner is a cheater. Yes, you can get out of your romantic relationship if your lover doesn’t accept you for who you are. You have the power to do so, remember?
不必与那些并不真心待你的人浪费自己的生命。当然，如果你的工作环境很糟，你也大可辞掉那份工作。同样，如果你工作伙伴是个小人，你也大可结束你们之间的工作关系。此外，如果你所爱的人不能接受你这样一个人，你也大可结束你们之间的感情。你有权利那么做，记住了吗？
4.It doesn’t matter how many times you fail; what matters is how many times you stand up and try again.
4.失败多少次都不重要，关键是要在失败后站起来，再试一次。
Don’t be discouraged by your failures! Learn from the successful people and use failures as life’s way of teaching us valuable lessons. Want to know a secret? Successful people fail a lot more than unsuccessful ones.
失败后不要灰心！与成功人士交流经验，把失败当做生活教会我们积累经验的有用方式。想知道一个秘密吗？那就是成功的人失败的次数往往比那些不成功的人失败的次数更多。
5.The best is yet to come.
5.最好的只是还没来。
Your potential can be limitless. Don’t settle for mediocrity: you’re definitely better than this. The potential to improve your life, the chance to lose weight or the opportunity to be a millionaire—all these exist. You just have to look for them.
你潜力无限。不要认为自己很平庸，很显然你不止这样。你有改善自己生活条件的能力，你可以减肥成功，你也有机会成为百万富翁—所有的这些都是有可能的。你只是还没找到这样的一些机遇而已。
6.Life is too precious to waste time hating anyone.
6.生命太珍贵，把时间用来憎恨某人很不值得。
Hating someone is like drinking poison, don’t you think? You’re filling yourself up with something that stresses you and makes you upset while you’re still waiting for that person to suffer. Don’t drink poison.
憎恨就如饮毒药，不是吗？如果你一直在期盼某人会遭受天谴，你总会被那些事弄的烦躁不安。不要再饮毒药。
7.Get busy living, or get busy dying.
7.忙着生活，或是忙着死去。
Living means that you wake up each day excited and passionate about the things that you’re about to do. You love your work and you get paid to do it. You love the people you’re with, and you love the life that you have. You can only start living if you stop being a mindless zombie and stop getting stuck in the same routine every day. You’re supposed to take control of your life, not to just simply watch it pass you by.
活着的意思是每天早上开心的醒来，满怀激情的做着那些你计划要做的事情。做你喜欢的工作。和你深爱的那些人一起生活，喜欢已有的生活。不要像愚蠢的僵尸那样醒来，每天不要再为了重复相同的事件而忙碌。好好把握自己的生活，不要再眼睁睁的看着它从指缝间流过。
8.Indulging in chocolate every once in a while is always a good idea.
8.隔段时间恋上吃巧克力也是不错。
Whenever life decides to bring you down or you feel like giving up because nothing seems to be going you way, make yourself a hot cup of cocoa and rest for a while. Tomorrow’s another day. You always have another chance to make things right again.
即使每件事情都跟预期的不一样，无论生活是多么的让人疲惫，是多么的想要放弃，给自己冲杯热咖啡，休息一下。明天又是新的一天。你还有机会把这些事情做好。
9.Time heals almost everything, so give time some time to work.
9.时间会抹平很多事，有些事情就留给时间去解决吧。
Past arguments, physical wounds, broken hearts, personal differences—all of these can be healed in time. Don’t be in such a rush, and don’t force things to heal immediately. You just need to wait for the right time for all the pain to be forgotten and for all the scars to fade away.
过去的争端，身体上的伤痛，破碎的心，人员之间的差异–所有的这些都会消逝在时间的长河中。不要仓促行事，不要急着就将所有事情处理好。有时只需一定的时间去遗忘所有的伤痛，所有的伤疤也会消失不见。
10.You can get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful in your life.
10.你可以摒弃生活中那些并不怎么有用的，并不怎么美好的，并不怎么令人开心的事物。
Yes, go ahead and live your life on your terms. Spend time with things that empower you and don’t waste time with the things that don’t.
是的，生活要往前看，活在你喜欢的生活中。在那些能给你带来正能量的人或事上多花时间，不要将生命浪费在那些与之相反的事物上。
