Choose love

去爱吧

作者：金·凯瑞

You know fear is going to be a player in your life

要知道在你的一生中，恐惧总会如影随形

But you get to decide how much

不过你要决定它将占据多少分量

You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts worrying about your pathway to the future

你可以选择诚惶诚恐的过一辈子一路上患得患失

But all there will ever be is what's happening here

但其实真正让你迷茫的是现在

How will you serve the world?

你能为这个世界带来什么

What do they need that your talent can provide?

你能发挥你所擅长的来满足他人需要吗

That's all you have to figure out

这是你最该搞清楚的东西

Someone who has done what you are about to do

必然已经有人做过你将要做的事情

I can tell you from experience

但是我要凭我的经验告诉你

The effect you have on others

你所作所为对他人的影响

Is the most valuable currency there is

才是这个世界上最具价值的货币

There will always be someone

因为总会有一个人

Who seems to be doing better than you

做的比你更好

No matter what you gain, ego will not let you rest

不管你已经拥有了多少，却总还想要得到更多

It will tell you what you cannot stop

始终有个声音在你耳旁说不要停下

Until you've left an indelible mark on the earth

直到这个世界永远记住我

Until you've achieved immortality

直到我永垂不朽

How tricky is this ego that it would tempt us

这个如此狡猾的声音推着我们一步步向前

With the promise of something we already possess

即便已经拥有，还是永远不够多

As far as I can tell

我只能说

It's just about letting the universe know what you want

遵从心之所向

And working toward it

然后努力

While letting go of how it comes to pass

该随风而去的就不要再留念

And when the door opens in real life, just walk through it

当命运的大门向你敞开，勇敢穿过

That peace that we're after

内心宁静驻足的地方

Lies somewhere beyond personality

不在于个人魅力

Beyond the perception of others

不在于别人的评价

Beyond invention and disguise

不在于臆想和伪装

Even beyond effort itself

更不在于努力本身

You can join the game, fight the wars

游戏人生也好，参军打仗也罢

Play with form all you want

你可以成为任何你想成为的人

But to find real peace

但想要找到内心真正的宁静

You have to let the armor fall

你要卸下铠甲

You need for acceptance

因为你需要的越多

Can make you invisible in this world

这个世界越看不见真正的你

Don't let anything stand in the way of the light

不要让任何东西遮住光芒

That shines through this form

让它照射在你身上

Risk being seen in all of your glory

照亮你一身的荣耀

You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world

你已经准备好并且能够给这个世界带来美好

And after you walk through those doors today

当你今天穿过这扇门后

You will only ever have two choices

你只有两个选择

Love or fear

爱或恐惧

Choose love

请选择爱
