Design Your Own Life

佚名 / Anonymous

One of the so-called realities of growing up is the resignation 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 unmet expectations and failure？ The capacity and capability of our friends and siblings？ Now being realistic 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 marvelous 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 5 minutes I am going to ask you to not be realistic， to not censor your wants， dreams and desires. Just allow yourself to be free with your thoughts and feelings in order to answer the following question.

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， become 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 becomes 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 becomes your blueprint to manifest 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 comes 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 come true. You may have to work for it， however.”

一個所謂的“成長的現(xiàn)實”就是對你生命中的可能與不可能的順從和接受。想象一下你對自己或別人對你說過多少次“現(xiàn)在現(xiàn)實點……”天啊！現(xiàn)實的基礎(chǔ)是什么？是社會的希望？父母想減少我們與期望的結(jié)果失之交臂或失敗的痛苦，那是父母的擔(dān)心嗎？還是我們朋友和親人的才能和能力？而今，現(xiàn)實是管理自己的期望和確保自己安全的一種方法，然而，這也是我們甚至不敢去嘗試一次冒險，或一段非凡經(jīng)歷的一個很好的借口。

在過去與成千上萬人的交往過程中我發(fā)現(xiàn)，很多人甚至不允許他們自己去夢想。我發(fā)現(xiàn)，很難去想象人類拒絕自身最偉大的能力時，那種鈍化的疼痛，那是人類證明和共同創(chuàng)造現(xiàn)實的能力。

你曾降低你的希望或者束縛你的夢想、熱情或想象嗎？如果你這樣做過，接下來的五分鐘里我要求你別太現(xiàn)實，別刪剪你的需求、夢想和渴望。只要任隨你自己的思想和感情來回答下面的問題。什么是你想要的？你想成就什么？想做什么？想擁有什么？在海灘上生活、周游世界各地、建立一個家庭、創(chuàng)建一份事業(yè)、開始一段戀情、學(xué)習(xí)另一種語言、成為一位富翁，然后退休、游戲、育人、分享你所知道的、傳遞你的創(chuàng)造力……你想要什么？讓自己的思維跳出膚淺的答案，想想你真正想要的是什么。

當(dāng)你腦海中的畫面變得越來越清晰時，我希望你能抓住其中的一頁，并在上面加上標(biāo)題：我的理想生活。寫下你的理想生活，你在哪里？感覺如何？和誰在一起？你們的關(guān)系怎樣？你怎樣打發(fā)時間？你怎樣描述你對世界的貢獻(xiàn)？不要僅僅是翻過這一頁，或者只是在你的頭腦中思考這些。事實上，你應(yīng)有意識地抽出一些時間來計劃一下你想創(chuàng)造的人生和閱歷。悲哀的是，大部分人用更多的時間來計劃他們的婚禮，而不是他們的生活！你書面的理想生活將會實現(xiàn)你的每個需求、希望和所有的藍(lán)圖。每天都讀一讀、溫習(xí)一下你的理想生活，和別人一起分享。從現(xiàn)在開始尋求幫助，邁出向它挺進(jìn)的步伐吧！

當(dāng)你的夢想開始實現(xiàn)的時候，我堅信理查德·巴赫對此的話語是最貼切的：“若你未被賦予實現(xiàn)夢想的能力，那么你將永遠(yuǎn)不會被給予希望。不過，你或許可以為之而努力。”
