Focus Your Mind

集中注意力

What is controlling your thoughts? What is enslaving you? Is it the television set? Feeding your mind images of what life should be? Is it the internet drawing you in and controlling your time? Is it drugs or alcohol numbing your brain and diminishing your desires? Or is it weakness?

是什么在控制你的想法?是什么在奴役着你?是电视机的问题吗?在你的脑海中灌输生活应该是什么样子?是网络吸引并控制了你的时间吗?是毒品还是酒精麻痹了你的大脑，减少了你的欲望?或者是软弱?

A lack of discipline that prevents you from accomplishing what you want to accomplish? And we get very caught up in instant gratification. We want the shortcut to the winner’s podium. We want results now. And when we don’t get the short term glory, sometimes we lose sight pf those long term goals. They fade. We lose focus. So we stop the daily tasks and the daily disciplines, that will allow us to achieve our goals.

缺乏自律会阻碍你完成你想要完成的事情?我们非常沉迷于即时满足感。我们想要通往冠军领奖台的捷径。我们现在就要结果。当我们在短时间内没有获得成就，有时我们就会忽视那些长期的目标。他们就会褪色。我们失去了焦点。所以我们停止日常的任务和日常的纪律，这将有助于实现我们的目标。

And a day slips by. And then another day. And a day turns into a week and a week into a year, and you look up in 6 weeks or 6 months or 6 years, and you’ve made no progress. None. You lost sight of the long term goal and it faded.

一天又一天过去了。然后又有一天。一天变成了一周，一周变成了一年，再过6周，6个月，或者6年，你就会发现没有任何进展。一个也没有。你失去了长期目标，目标也会消失。

And you began to rationalize. “Maybe I can’t. Maybe I don’t really want to. Maybe this goal isn’t for me.” And so you give up. You settle for the status quo, you settle for the easy road, you settle for, oh well.

然后你开始合理化。“也许我不能，也许我并不是真的想。也许这个目标不适合我。”所以你放弃了。你满足于现状，你满足于容易的道路，你满足于，哦，好吧。

No, don’t do that. Embed that long term goal in your mind, burn it into your soul. Think about it. Write about it. Talk about it. Hang it up on your wall. But most important, do something about it. Every day.

不，不要那样做。把这个长期目标嵌入你的头脑，让它在你的灵魂中燃烧。想着它。写下它。谈论它。把它挂在你的墙上。但最重要的是，为此做点什么。每一天。

Every day, do something that moves you toward that goal, that keeps that goal alive and in sight and in focus. However, small or insignificant that step might seem, take it. Do it. Make it happen. Because that goal isn’t going to achieve itself. It is all on you.

每天，做一些能让你朝着目标前进的事情，让你的目标保持鲜活，触手可及。不管这一步看起来是多么的微不足道，那就去做吧。这样做。让它发生。因为这个目标不会自己实现。全靠你了。

Make a damn schedule, and stick to it. So that you have the day you want. That’s the trick. It’s like, okay I’ve got tomorrow, if I was gonna set it up so it was the best possible day I could have, what would it look like? Well then you schedule that.

做一个时间表，并坚持下去。这样你就能拥有你想要的那一天。这就是诀窍。这就像，好吧，我还有明天，如果我要安排好它，让它成为我能拥有的最好的一天，它会是什么样子?那你来安排吧。
