There is an African proverb that reads, when there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do you no harm.有句非洲的谚语:如果内心没有敌人,那么外界的敌人就无法伤害你。When you refuse to allow any doubts in your own mind, then no doubts from others will ever cloud your judgement.当你心里没有任何质疑的时候,来自别人的质疑就无法阻挡你的视线。When you create a strong mind, there can be no other that will defeat you with their words, or with their judgements.当你创造出强大的心灵的时候,任何人的言语和意见都无法打败你。When you believe in you, you need no other to believe in you. Because others, really have no say in who you will become. 当你相信你自己的时候,你就不需要别人来相信你。因为,别人真的无法决定你的未来。Only you have that say. Only you can DECIDE if others opinions become reality, or you create your own fate.只有你有这样的发言权。只有你能决定他们的观点是否会成真,只有你能决定你的命运是否由自己说了算。The greatest challenge and the greatest obstacle any human will face, is their own doubts, their own fears and their own conditioned thoughts.任何一个人所面对的,最大的挑战,最大的障碍,就是他们自己内心的质疑,他们自己的恐惧,他们自己那些很局限的想法。If you want to live your dream, you will have to fight for it. You will have to fight the greatest battles of your life.如果你想实现梦想,你就必须为此奋斗。你必须投入到人生中最艰苦的战斗里。You will have to battle the external enemy, people who don't believe in you, people who do you wrong, people who put you down.你必须和外在的敌人战斗,那些不相信你的人,那些冤枉你的人,那些打倒你的人。You will have to battle the intimate enemy. Those close to you who might do you wrong, or maybe you assume don't believe in you. Those who want the best for you, but their idea of support is to remind you of what can't be done, or shouldn't be attempted.你必须和亲密的敌人战斗,那些和你关系密切的人可能会冤枉你,又或者,你认为他们不相信你。他们全心全意为你好,但是他们的看法只会提醒你,告诉你,你做不到,你不应该去尝试。But the worst of all is the INTERNAL ENEMY. You will have to battle what seems like an army in your own head. An army of doubt, fear of failure, fear of judgement, lack of belief. The voices inside the head saying:但是,最糟糕的,还是内在的敌人。你必须和你自己心里的敌人战斗,它们就像一个军队一样强大。质疑,对失败的恐惧,对他人看法的恐惧,信念的缺乏,它们组成了这个军队。你的内心有这样的声音:I am not good enough. I'm not worthy. I want to do this, but I can't. I want to give to those I love, but I can't. I'm not worthy of love. I'll never be able to do this. I am hopeless. I've tried everything! The world is against me. No one believes in me. My life's not worth living.我不够好,我不配。我想做到这件事,但是我做不到。我想把最好的带给我爱的人,但是我做不到。我不配被爱。我永远做不到。我没有希望。所有方法我都试过了!这个世界与我为敌。没有人相信我。我不配活着。There is no greater pain that can be inflicted on you, than your own internal enemy.Your own thoughts will cause you more pain than anyone or anything. They can be likened to a terrorist living in your soul.你的想法带给你的痛苦,比任何人,任何事带来的痛苦,都要多。他们就像生活在你灵魂里的,很恐怖的存在。But, when you learn to control and direct your mind, you can direct that internal voice to work for you, rather than against you.但是,当你学会把握和引导自己的内心时,你就能够引导这个内在的声音,让它向着你,而不是与你为敌。You get it to work for you by creating a compelling future. A future you will be proud to achieve, proud to live through.你会让它对你好,创造一个精彩的未来,一个让你感到骄傲的未来。You do this by not by just having GOALS, but having meaningful GOALS. GOALS that get you excited to wake up every morning.要做到这样,你不仅需要有目标,并且这些目标得是有意义的,让你感到激动的,使你每天有动力起床的目标。You do this by understanding what your purpose in life really is. What are you doing it all for?要想做到这样,你要理解你真正的人生目标是什么,你实现它又是为了什么?When you know these things, when you work on yourself DAILY, you can quiet that voice in the head. You can FEEL good enough because you ARE good enough. 当你把这些事情都想明白,当你能够每天都专注于提升自己,你就能够让那个内心的声音平静下来。你能感到自己状态很好,因为你本身就很棒。But it does take a commitment, a commitment of daily practice to work on yourself.Cut out something that you spend a lot of time on that does nothing good for your life, and replace it with daily work on YOU.那些占用你太多时间却对你的人生毫无益处的事情,把它们清理掉吧。取而代之的,应该是你每天为了提升自己而下的功夫。Don't quit!
