10 suggestions for a brighter future by Barbara Cage

1. Realize that life isn’t always fair. Accept what you must and change what you can. 【崃按：与命运之神共舞：在“认命”（无法改变的）的基础上，去“创造命运”（可以改变的）】

2. Think before you act. A moment of carelessness or anger can cause years of anguish and regret. 【崃按：正念呼吸，正念步行，正念说话，正念做事。念念分明，活在当下。】

3. Look for the beauty in life, in people, in nature, and in yourself. 【崃按：培养一双善于发现美的眼睛，去发现内在心性之美，去发现外在世界之美，去发现社会之美，去发现大自然之美。】

4. Appreciate what you have: the people, the opportunities, the material possessions. 【崃按：培养一颗感恩的心，来感恩自己拥有的一切，来感恩一切人、一切机遇、一切受用的物品。】

5. Make the effort to have fun: it is a great way to bond with others, and it makes some of the best memories. 【崃按：要培养自己的幽默感，以拉近人与人之间的距离，以留下美好回忆。】

6. Set aside some time for yourself. Do something you enjoy without feeling even a little guilty. 【崃按：每天都要保留时间给自己招魂，给自己脱下面具，做自己喜欢做的事，而无需感到丝毫愧疚。】

7. Accept others without judgement. Everyone is unique, and it is okay to be different. 【崃按：不要给任何人下判。每个人都是独一无二的，请允许他与众不同。】

8. Forgive. Bitterness and resentment hurt you more than the person you direct them at. 【崃按：对他人的抱怨与憎恨，严重伤害自己，远过于伤害他人。】

9. Learn. Open your mind to new ideas and activities, and don’t be afraid to try. 【崃按：要不断学习。对新的想法和做法，要保持开发的态度，不要害怕去尝试新的事物。】

10. Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself and go for what you want. 【崃按：要勇于筑梦、追梦。要相信自己，一定能够圆梦。】
