875-Choose to be grateful

You’ve been blessed. Even if you rarely realize it. All of us here have. 

上帝赐福于你，即便你对此一无所知，但我们的确是被祝福的。

And you’ll keep forgetting this unless you remind yourself. Remind yourself regularly. Choose to be grateful. Remember how it could be worse, it could always be worse. 

除非你提醒自己，否则它就会被你遗忘在脑海的一角。经常提醒自己，让自己做一个感恩的人。记住，如果事情可能变得更糟，那么不管你怎么想，它总是可能变得更糟。

The human mind naturally overemphasizes the negative. Psychologists have found that the loss of something is two to four times more painful than the joy of gaining the same thing. It’s an unfortunate mechanism that has kept our species alive and thriving, but also keeps many of us in a constant state of irritation and stress. 

人类的心智总是更注重负面的信息。心理学家失去一件东西的痛苦程度比获得它的愉悦程度重2-4倍。这一不幸机制在维持我们生存繁衍的同时，也让我们活在持续的恼怒和压力之中。
