The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times… The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.
我们生活中最美好的时刻不是被动的、接受的、放松的时刻……最美好的时刻通常发生在一个人自愿努力完成一项困难而有价值的事情时,身体或精神被拉伸到极限。
感恩释放了生命的丰盛。它将我们所拥有的变成足够,甚至更多。它将拒绝变成接受,混乱变成秩序,困惑变成清晰。它可以将一顿饭变成盛宴,一所房子变成家,一个陌生人变成朋友。
And when you do I want you to know this, remember this: there is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction. Now when you’re down there in the hole, it looks like failure. So this past year I had to spoon feed those words to myself.
