生活充满了不确定性,这些不确定性带来的可能是惊喜,也可能是惊吓。在面对生活中的这些动荡因素时候,如何才能保持自信、应对自如呢?
Life is full of surprises. 生活充满了惊奇。
Sometimes these surprises are pleasant and other times we can’t help but feel a little anxious about what the future holds.Which brings us to the importance of feeling confident, secure, and powerful — even in the face of uncertainty.
有时这些惊奇是令人愉快的,有时他们会使我们则禁不住对未来是什么样而感到担忧。这些惊奇会让我们认识到在即使面对不确定因素是也能感到自信,安全和权力的重要性。
Because no matter who you are, what you do for a living, or where you live, you’re always going to face moments of uncertainty (unless you’re psychic and can tell the future, of course). But seriously, these moments of uncertainty might happen in any aspect of your life: at work, in business, or in your relationships, for instance.
因为不管你是谁,做什么工作,或者你在哪居住,你总会面对一些动荡时刻(当然,除非你是巫师可以预知未来),但是严肃来讲,这些动荡时刻可能会发生在你生活的每一个方面,比如工作,生意,或者爱情。
And often, what differentiates super-successful and happy people from those who are ridden with anxiety and depression is the ability to sustain power and confidence, even in the face of uncertainty.
且通常,那些超成功幸福的人与那些充满焦虑,沮丧的人的区别是他们有即使面对动荡也可以保持力量和自信的能力。
So here are 4 ways to stay confident, courageous, and happy, even when you’re not quite sure exactly how your desired projects – in love, work, and life – will play out in the short term:
当你对爱情,工作和生活在短期内不知道到底该怎么办时,如下的四个绝招可以帮你保持自信,勇敢和幸福。
# 1 – Stay Rationally Optimistic.
#1-保持理性乐观
When we humans think and feel rationally positive, our brains actually perform better. That’s because positive mental states produce higher levels of creativity, productivity, and performance.
我们人类理性地积极地去思考和感受时,我们的大脑会运转得更好。那是因为积极的精神状态可以更加有创造力,生产力和执行力。
Which means: if you’re ever unsure about a project’s progress or future outcome, staying rationally positive (not delusional and positive) might just foster the precise creative insight you need to ensure your ultimate success. Not to mention that it’s a total confidence booster in moments of uncertainty (and rightfully so)!
那就意味着:如果你对一个项目的进展或未来的结果感到不确定时,理性地保持积极(不是妄想和积极)可以促使你产生精确的创造性的洞察力,而这个洞察力可以确保你最终成功。不要提这完全是自信促使你在动荡时刻成功(实际上就是)

许多时候只有一条通往成功的路会让我们紧张或焦虑。毕竟,万一事情不是自己预想的那样那该怎么办呢?但是可以想象如果你有多条通往同一个目标的路你该感到多么的自信?

# 3 – Realize Once And For All: It’s All Good.
#3---完全认识到:一切安好
How many times has something happened that looked “bad” at the time and then later when you looked back on it you were thrilled that things turned out the way they did? It’s time to realize once and for all that this universe or world supports you and wants you to succeed!
