040 You Have To Be Disciplined

It's easy to go through life holding on to things that are weighing us down, guilt, resentment, doubt, worry. The problem is when we allow these things in, they're taking up space for the good things that should be there. Imagine your life is like a container. You were created to be filled with joy, peace, confidence, creativity, but if you allow worry in, it pushes out the peace. There's not space for both. You can't go above 100%. You have a limited amount of room. 

生活中很容易执着于那些拖累我们的东西，罪恶感，愤恨，怀疑，烦恼。问题是，当我们允许这些进入我们的生活时，它们占据了本来属于好事情的地方。把你的生活想象成一个容器，你生来就是去容纳快乐，平和，自信，创造力的，但如果你允许烦恼进入，烦恼就会把平和推出去。它们无法共存。你不能容纳超过自身容量的东西。你只有有限的空间。

If you allow guilt to take up space, that's space that you don't have for the confidence you need. And the reason some people don't enjoy their lives, is because their container, their heart is contaminated with so many things. They have 10% worried, stressed out over their job, 12% bitterness, mad at their neighbor, 20% guilt, beating themselves up for past mistakes, 9% jealousy, their co-worker is more beautiful. They don't realize 70% of their container is negative. They wonder why they don't have joy, creativity, passion, they only have room for 30% of what they should have. 

如果你允许罪恶感进入，你的自信心就会被挤出去。而有些人不能享受生活的原因，就是因为他们的容器，他们的心灵被太多事情污染了。他们有10%的对于工作的烦恼和压力，12%的对于邻居的怨气和怒火，20%的对于过去错误的折磨和罪恶感，9%的对于同事美丽的嫉妒。他们没有意识到它们70%的容器都是负面的。他们想知道为什么他们没有快乐，创造力，激情，他们只有30%的空间去容纳它们。

And the scripture says give no place to the enemy. It's not just talking about forces of darkness, that means give no place to guilt, give no place to worry, give no place to bitterness. It can't come in and automatically take over. You control what's in your container. You control what you think about, what you choose to allow in, and we all have negative emotions, negative feelings. You have to make the choice, I'm not going to give this jealousy, this bitterness, this anger valuable space and let it poison my life. I'm going to protect what I allow in me.  And every morning when we wake up, we need to empty out anything negative from the day before. Somebody offended you at work, they didn't treat you right, it's easy to let that offense stay.

经文中说，不要理会你的敌人。这不仅是字面的意思，这是指不要把内心的空间让给罪恶感，让给烦恼，让给怨气。它们无法自己进来，并占据空间。你能控制你的容器容纳什么。你能控制你的思想，选择什么可以进入你的容器，我们所有人都有负面的情绪和感受。你必须做出选择。我不会把珍贵的空间让出给嫉妒，怨气和怒火，并让它们侵害我的生活。我要有选择地把一些东西放进来。每天早上，我们醒来，我们要把昨日的负面情绪清空。一些人在工作中冒犯了你，对你不好，我们很容易受这些问题的困扰。

Feels good to carry around a grudge, but you have to be disciplined, say no I am giving this offense any room. I am not going to let it sour my day. They hurt you once, don't let them continue to hurt you by holding on to the offense. Being offended is not harming them, it's harming you. It's taking up space you need for the good things that move you towards your destiny. Take inventory of what you're giving space to. Life is too short to go through it with negative things holding us down.

带着怨恨会轻松一些，但是你必须自我约束，不要给这些冒犯任何空间。我不会让这些破坏我的一天。它们伤害了你一次，不要让他们持续地伤害你。被触怒不是伤害他们，而是伤害自己。它占据了容纳好事情的空间。清查一下你的容器吧。生活太短暂了，不能带着拖累我们的负面情绪去感受生活。
