1. Don't avoid or ignore negativity.1. 勿要躲避或忽視陰暗面
In order to conquer and overcome, it must be acknowledged. This can include people in your life who may be bringing you down, a hostile workplace environment or even a personal stressor that you haven't conquered quite yet. You are in control of your environment and if these negative situations keep making an appearance, it's up to you to handle them.
我們得正視生活的陰暗面，這樣才能將其克服與戰勝。負面因素可以包括生活中會使你沮喪的人和不友善的工作環境，甚至是目前仍讓你感到壓力的源頭。你所處的環境為你掌控。倘若這些消極場景一直出現，將其解決的也只能是你。
2. Take care of yourself and your needs.2. 關愛自己，重視自我需求。
In order to feel compelled to live a powerful and meaningful life, you must love you. Take care of your actions and how you live each day, and this will be reflected in your thoughts and emotional state of mind. Love yourself fully in order to love others fully.
為了讓生活有意義并充滿能量，你必須愛自己。關注你的所作所為以及每天的生活方式吧。它們將會反映到你的思想與情感狀態中。為了全心全意地愛他人，你得全身心地愛自己。
3. Mend what's broken or get rid of it.3. 之于裂痕，要么修復，要么忘懷。
Determining what is worth your time and effort and what is not can be challenging. If situations are toxic and beyond repair, it's time to let go. Are there relationships or friendships that remain damaged but you know are worth the time? Fix them and find peace. Do what you can to find love in situations where it may have be absent in the past.
決定什么值得你付出時間與努力，而什么又不值得，是有難度的。如果情況不樂觀且難以修復，那是時候放手了。你是否仍認為有些受損的'感情或友情值得花時間來維持？修補它們吧，并且保持平和的心態。盡你所能從過去那些不曾有愛的場景中發現愛！
4. Give back.4. 傾情回饋。
Giving our time, energy, love, mentorship and sometimes money is what life is about. Everything we put out into the world comes back to us. My mom taught me a quote she learned in Mexico that stuck with me forever, "donde comen uno, comen dos." (where one can eat, two can eat.) It moves me every time I say it out loud. At the end of the day, no matter what you have you are likely in a position to give something small to someone else who needs it. Don't hesitate.
人生的真諦是給予我們的時間、能量、愛和教導（金錢有時也是），我們向世界付出的一切都會有所回饋。我母親曾教過我她在墨西哥學到的一句話，讓我永生難忘：“donde comen uno, comen dos.”（一人能食之處，也能供兩人享用。）我每次大聲讀這句話時，都會被震撼感動。說到底，無論你擁有什么，你都有可能給予他人小小的一份心意，而這正是他們需要的。不要猶豫。
5. Things that make us smile, laugh and feel good are justawesome.5. 所有讓我們笑逐顏開，感覺不錯的事都值得敬重。
This one is pretty simple...Just do MORE of it. Do more of what makes you happy! I truly believe that in the super fast paced world we live in, happiness may not come as easily as we wish. In order to navigate through work and responsibilities that seem monotonous, we have to actively pursue and engage in beautiful acts of love and kindness. So get to it!
這點極其簡單…只要更多地去實行它。去做更多讓你開心的事！我真心相信，在如今這個超快節奏的世界，幸福來得也許并不像我們希望的那樣簡單。為了能順利處理那些看上去單調的工作與職責，我們得積極追求愛和善的美妙行為，并更多地參與其中。所以行動起來吧！
