沒(méi)有遺憾的生活
A guest post by Tess Marshall of The Bold Life.
When I think of someone who lived a life without regrets, I think of my mom. She only had a sixth grade education because she quit school to take care of her own mother.
每當(dāng)我想起誰(shuí)的一生沒(méi)有遺憾，就會(huì)想起我的媽媽。她只讀到小學(xué)六年級(jí)，以為她不得不照顧她的媽媽。
Her first husband died from a brain tumor and she was left with three small children. Soon after, she married my dad and together they raised ten children.
她第一任丈夫死于腦瘤，給她留下了三個(gè)年幼的孩子。不久之后，她跟我爸爸結(jié)婚了，他們共同養(yǎng)育了10個(gè)孩子。
Mom never learned how to drive. She never had her own bank account. She never lived alone. Yet, she had the courage to divorce my dad when she was 65 years old.
媽媽從沒(méi)學(xué)過(guò)開(kāi)車，也從沒(méi)有過(guò)自己的銀行賬戶。她從沒(méi)有一個(gè)人生活過(guò)，然而，她65歲的時(shí)候卻有勇氣跟我爸爸離婚。
She remained friends with my dad after the divorce. When her health failed nearly twenty years later, she moved back in with him, no regrets.
和我爸爸離婚之后他們還是朋友。20年之后她身體不好，又搬回來(lái)和爸爸一起住，沒(méi)有留下遺憾。
Eight months have gone by since my mom passed away at age 90. I’ve given a lot of though to how I live my own life because of her love and influence.
從媽媽90歲去世到現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)8個(gè)月了。在媽媽的愛(ài)和影響之下，我時(shí)常想我該如何度過(guò)自己的一生。
Keep in mind everyone makes mistakes, we’re human. When we learn from our mistakes, we can move on and let our regrets go.
時(shí)刻銘記人非圣賢孰能無(wú)過(guò)。從錯(cuò)誤中學(xué)習(xí)，我們可以不斷進(jìn)步，遠(yuǎn)離遺憾。
Read on to learn how you can live a life with no regrets.

投資自己
Be your own loving caregiver. Rejecting and neglecting yourself are painful. You are worthy because you exist. Practice feeling affection and appreciation for yourself. Allow yourself to feel pleasure.

Say, “I love you,” often. Express your affection and appreciation to friends and family. Allow yourself to be vulnerable and uncomfortable. Life is short. What matters is connection. Connect as often as possible.
經(jīng)常說(shuō)“我愛(ài)你”把你對(duì)家人和朋友的喜愛(ài)和感激表達(dá)出來(lái)。允許自己脆弱，人生短暫。關(guān)鍵是聯(lián)系，要盡可能經(jīng)常地聯(lián)系。
Live simply. Keep your relationships uncomplicated. Create meaningful experiences. Make memories. Don’t gossip or compare yourself to others. You don’t know what anything is for. You can’t see the big picture.

Invest in spirituality.

Spend time in nature. Swim in the ocean. Plant a garden. Climb a mountain. Ride in a dune buggy. Walk barefoot in the grass. Watch the sunrise and sunset. Any thing you do outside is energizing and refreshing. Being in nature creates calm.
走進(jìn)大自然。在大海里面游泳，建一個(gè)花園。登一座山，在沙漠里兜風(fēng)，赤著腳漫步在草地上?？慈粘鋈章洌诖笞匀焕锩孀龅拿恳患露际窃谘a(bǔ)充精力。大自然使人平靜。
Learn to forgive. Resolve your childhood issues. Release grudges and guilt. Forgive yourself for hurting others. Forgive others for causing you pain. Forgive your parents. Louise Hay says, “Our parents did the best they could at the time, with what they had. When we know better we do better.”

接受別人。嘗試改變別人是一件浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和精力的事情。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)評(píng)論別人是在浪費(fèi)你的時(shí)間。我們都不完美，管好自己。

有創(chuàng)造力?；ㄒ恍r(shí)間去創(chuàng)造那些和你工作無(wú)關(guān)的事情。制作一個(gè)拼圖，畫(huà)一幅自畫(huà)像，攝影，學(xué)一道新菜。人與生俱來(lái)具有創(chuàng)造性，這對(duì)你的身心有益。

Take risks. Do one thing a day that scares you. Make a phone call and ask for what you want. Follow up. Keep asking until you get a yes. Be bold and brave. You have nothing to lose. There are approximately 7 billion people in the world. If someone tells you ‘no’ ask someone else.
