第8章 Content Is a Kind of Wisdom知足是一种智慧知足是一种智(1)

当你紧握双手,里面什么也没有 ;当你打开 双手,世界就在你手中。记住 :放得下,才能走得远!

Very much,since you were brought into this world. When you couldn’t open your mouth till the first two years on planet earth,inner voice is the one through which you interpreted and understood things.

Inner voice is the voice mouth of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is always acting as a secondary reflector of thoughts and ideas in the body. It justifies and rationalizes what is right and what is wrong. When we go against what the inner voice says we get a guilty conscious and are bothered by it throughout our lives.

At times when we are feeling low or unforgettable moments when we are let down,we seem to need some kind of emotional or mental support. We usually speak to our closest pal or our dearest family member during times of distress to ease the burden. At such times we get over the initial drizzle of emotional anxiety and mental restlessness. Because of pepping up by our empathic listener. We suddenly feel rejuvenated because our inner voice alerts us get on with things and leave the things of the past onthe memory books of our brain.

The inner voice is always right most of the times because it knows us better than others and probably even ourselves. It is the dare devil child of the intuition which we have been having since childhood. It‘s good to go by intuitions most of the times because it’s the response provided due to the synchronism between mental and physical being.

Whenever you are trying your first cigarette,or whenever you are asked to take sides in an argument,you are always in a sense of dilemma. During these times your inner voice automatically gives its verdict,which when over written,might leave us unhappy in the future. It‘s up to us to either ignore the morale booster inside us or go out to the world and search for spiritual guru’s and happiness,when all these things are very much present within us.

愚痴的人,一直想要别人了解他。有智慧的人,却努力地了解自己。

参考翻译(高昆)

从我们来到这个世界那一刻起,这种情况经常会有。两岁之前你不能开口说话,内心的声音是你感知理解东西的唯一方式。

内心的声音是我们脑海里潜意识的声音。这种下意识的想法通常作为第二次反射,以想法和主意的方式反应到身体上。它理性地判断什么是对的,什么是错的。当我们做了违背我们内心愿望的事情时,我们会感到内疚并且终生都会受它的困扰。

我们会有情绪低落的时候,或者令人沮丧的难忘时刻,这时我们似乎需要某种情感或者精神上的慰藉。苦恼的时候我们往往会向我们最亲密的朋友或最亲近的家人倾诉,以此来减轻我们的压力。我们富有同情心地聆听着的鼓励使我们从最初的情感困惑和精神疲惫中走了出来。我们突然间会感到精神重新振作了起来,因为我们的内心在警醒我们应该朝前看,把过去的事都统统抛在脑后。

心声总是正确的,因为它比别人更了解你,甚至比你自己。它是勇敢魔鬼的衍生,从我们儿时就一路伴随我们。跟着直觉走绝大多数时候是有益的,因为它是我们精神和体力协调后作出的回应。不管什么时候你尝试吸第一口烟,抑或是被人让你支持某种论点时,你往往会陷入矛盾之中。这种时候你内心的声音往往会自动给出它的评判。当所有的这些都在我们左右时,是忽略我们内心道德欲望的膨胀还是走出这个世界寻找精神上的满足完全取决于我们自己。

Let Go 顺其自然

The experience of love is an inner state. When this is present, you are happy,alive,and free. You feel good about yourself and good about life. As you bring the experience of love into your life,life works effortlessly and great things happen.

The opposite of love is fear and upset. When this is present,you lose down inside. You lose your creativity and your ability to see clearly. You get tunnel vision and you interact in a way that almost always makes your situation worse.

Whether you live in a state of love or a state of upset depends,not on your circumstances,but on how you relate to your circumstances. A good way to see this is to look at upsets.

Upsets seem to be caused by what happens but they‘re not. Upsets are caused by your fighting and resisting what happens. To see this in your life,select a recent upset. Now notice what would happen if somehow you were at peace with what happened. There would be no upset.

There would be no upset because upsets aren’t caused by what happened. Upsets are caused by fighting and resisting what happened. The moment you take away the fighting and resisting,the upset disappears.

To live the experience of love,and to create a life that works,you need to stop the fighting and resisting. You do this through a process called letting go.

Letting go is the inner action that releases the fear and upset. The moment you let go,everything seems to change. With the fear and upset gone,you see your situation very differently. You become creative and discover solutions that you could never have seen before.

To let go,you need to do the opposite of fighting and resisting. You need to let go of your demands and expectations for how life should be and make peace with the way life is.

Find what you are resisting. Then give it full permission to be there. If you have a fear of losing a relationship,be willing to be it. If you are resisting the way someone is,then give the person full permission to be that way.

Be willing for anything. Set yourself free inside. Then take whatever action you need to have your life be great.

Keep in mind that letting go is a state of mind and has nothing to do with your actions. Letting go is the process that removes the fear and upset so you can see what action you need to take.

In your heart,you can be willing to lose someone,but in your actions,do everything you can to make sure the person feels so loved that he or she would never want to leave.

To make letting go a little easier,there are several steps you can take. The first is trusting. Trust is that no matter what happens you will be okay. When you know that you will be okay,letting go becomesrelatively easy.

Trusting is also telling the truth. You really will be okay no matter what happens. Life is only threatening when you resist. So stop resisting and trust. Trust is that no matter what happens you will be okay.

The second step in the process of letting go is to be willing to feel your hurt. Be willing to feel all the hurt and the feelings of being not okay that your circumstances reactivate. Be willing to feel the hurt of being worthless or not“good enough”.

The avoidance of this hurt is what makes you resist. Once you are willing to feel this hurt,the need to resist disappears. You can then let go.

For example,Robert had a fear of losing his wife Jan. To make sure she didn‘t leave,he hung on to her. His hanging on then pushed her further and further away. Robert was afraid of losing Jan because if she left him,this would reactivate all his hurt of feeling not worth loving. To avoid this hurt he hung on.

    做事高手(现代生活实用丛书)

    如何做事决定命运、财富源于方法。这是每个人都应认可的名言。人与人的差别,从根本上说首先是做人做事的观念方式上的差别。我们从小就会被教导这不能做,那也不能做,久而久之就形成了一种固定的观念,也是一种人们所习惯的常理。做事的态度要讲究方法,讲究思路,思路对,就会柳暗花明、思路错,就会山重水覆。凡事换角度,凡事逆向思维一番,也许这样一换,对事物的本身原貌就会看得更清晰,准确。从而正确地把握事物,进而产生正确的思路和行为。如果本书能帮助各位读者发现自己的盲点,修正自己某些偏颇式错误的观念,在你的人生道路上有所助益,那么我将感到由衷的高兴。
