强盛的近义词-祎是什么意思
我们都渴望在我们的生命中有所改变。不管他是改变我们的习惯还是改变世界。有很多事情我们无法改变,但是有些事情是我们一直努力地去改变,最后有的成功了有的却没有结果。2009即将到来,“改变这个词”时常出现在我的脑海。我渴望改变,但是实现这个改变需要什么呢?
10 years ago I had an encounter with a Higher Power that led me to change many things in my life. 10 years later, I realized I am changing yet once again. When I was 16 years old I thought I had everything a teenager could want. I had it all: money, drugs, power, friends, influence and everything the world could have offered a MTV adolescent. Yet, it’s when it seems we have achieved everything, at that moment, we feel that we actually have nothing at all. That’s how I felt. I had everything, but in my heart I had nothing.
10年前我和一位权力更高的人相遇了,他导致我改变了我生命当中很多事情。10年前,我意识到我终会再改变一次。当我16岁的时候我认为我拥有了一个青少年所想要的一切。我全都有了:钱,毒品,权利,朋友,影响力和世界能够给一个MTV青少年的所有东西。然而就是当我们认为我们完成了所有事情的时候,却是我们感觉我们一无所有的时候。这是我的感受。我拥有了所有的东西,但是我的心却空荡荡的。
I had everything a young man could want. At the same time, I felt more lost than ever. It wasn’t till that fateful day when I was faced with being arrested by the police for grand theft that I finally woke up. I had everything, yet I wanted more because of my greed. But when is enough truly enough? Sometimes, it takes a moment of “humbling” to bring us back to our senses. With the police on my tail, my Christian mother weeping over my wrong doings, I came to my senses and decided I needed to change. With my future on the line, with all odds against me, I made a decision to do what was right, take responsibility for my actions and turn myself into the police and confess the truth to the crime I had committed. It was a scary decision, but it was a decision that had to be made. Looking back, it was the best decision I had ever made, to put my trust in God and to change my old ways. By the grace of God, I was given something I didn’t deserve. Six months after turning myself into the police, the court let me go free with no charges, no record or jail sentence.
我有一个年轻人所想要的所有。同时,我又感到无
比的迷茫。直到那命运的一天到来,我必须面对我因为重偷窃罪被警察逮捕的那一天,我终于醒了。我拥有了所有的东西,但因为贪婪我却想要更多的东西。但什么时候会满足,会真正的满足?有时候,我们需要被“羞辱”一下,头脑才会清醒。当警察抓住我的把柄的时候,基督教徒的母亲为我所做的事情而哭泣,我头脑清醒了并决定我需要改变。在我的未来存亡关头时,成功的几率很小时,我决定做正确的事,为我的行为而负责,自首并向警察坦白我所犯下的罪行。这是一个可怕的决定,但这也是一个必须做的决定。回首往昔,这是我做过的最好的决定,信任上帝并改变原来的我。在慈悲的上帝面前,我被给予一些我不应该得到的东西。在我自首6个月后,法庭释放了我,没有任何控告,记录或是判决。
I always tell people when they hear my impossible story of how a convicted felon was let go with no charges that, “Justice is getting what you deserve, Mercy is getting what you don’t deserve, but Grace is getting what you definitely don’t deserve.” We all need grace in our lives. We need grace from God, grace for our own selves and grace for others. No one is perfect; we all make mistakes, because we are all human. If we desire to change in 2009 we can learn from my own story…
我总是告诉那些听过我这不可能发生的故事——一个重罪犯没有任何指控的被释放的人们,“正义是让你得到你应得的,宽容是让你得到你不应得的,但是慈悲是让你得到绝对你不应得的。”在生活中我们都需要慈悲。我们需要来自上帝的慈悲,来自我们和他人的慈悲。人无完人;我们都会犯错,因为我们都是人。如果2009我们渴望改变那我们可以从我的故事中学到一些东西……
1. Change starts with you – don’t try to change others or your circumstances around before you first learn to change yourself. Judge not or you will be judged. Before we try to change what is around us, let us look within us, with an honest heart and see what needs to be changed in our own lives.
1.改变从你开始——在你学会改变自己之前不要去改变别人或是你周围的环境。你们不要论断人,就不被论断。在我们开始改变我们周围之前,让我们自己看看自己,用一颗真诚的心看看哪些是我们生活中需要改变的。
2. Change requires humility – humility is being honest to yourself and others with who you really are. No need to justify your shortcomings or wrong actions, simply own up to your mistakes and recognize that you need help in changing them.
2.改变需要谦卑——谦卑是以真正的你真诚地对你自己和别人。没有必要为了你的缺点或错误的行为进行辩护,爽快地承认自己的错误并承认改变它们,你需要帮助。
3.
Change moves us to action – if we are really going to change, we must make a commitment to change followed with action. Change is not just talk, but it is walk. If you want to quit smoking cigarettes, or change a bad habit, stop eating so much, spending on what you don’t need, or change your own understanding of yourself you need to take the necessary actions to see the change become a reality.
3.改变需要我们行动——如果我们真的要改变,我们必须保证会用实际行动去改变。改变不是说空话,是实际行动。如果你想要戒烟,或是改变一个坏习惯,就不要再吃那么多,不要在你不需要的东西上面再花费了,或是改变你对你自己的认识,你需要采取必要的行动使这些改变成为事实。
The day I turned myself into the police for grand theft, I could have just told God and my mother “sorry I will never do it again”, but saying sorry wasn’t enough. I had to do what was right, turn myself in, own up to my wrong doings and walk out my repentance.
在我因重偷窃罪向警察自首的那天,我本能告诉上帝和我的母亲“对不起我不会再犯了”,但是说对不起是不够的。我必须做正确的事,自首,果断承认自己所做的错事并走出忏悔。
In the same way, if we want real change we must not just talk about it, but be about it. Change doesn’t start tomorrow, it starts with doing what you know is right today.
同样的,如果我们真的想改变那么我们不能只是说说而已,必须付诸实践。改变不是从明天开始的,是从今天你做认为正确的事开始的。
4. Change is not easy, so give yourself grace – We also need to understand that change is a process. It doesn’t happen over night, it happens with time. Just as it takes years for a child to grow to an adolescent and from an adolescent to a young adult and so forth, so it takes time for anyone and everyone to change for the better. Give yourself grace when you make mistakes, fall into temptation, or keep doing things you don’t want to do. God forgives you, so you must learn to forgive yourself. With grace, nothing is impossible to overcome. Pick yourself back up, let go of the past, don’t be so hard on yourself and keep moving forward. With a little grace, we can all change for the better.
4.改变并不容易,所以对自己慈悲点——我们也需要知道改变是一个过程。改变不可能一夜之间就发生,它随着时间而发生。就像一个小孩需要很多年成长成青年然后再从青年成长成大人一样等等,所以想改变好需要每一个人任何一个人花费时间。当你犯错时,受诱惑时,或是一直做你不想做的事时对自己慈悲一些。上帝会原谅你,所以你必须学会原谅自己。有了慈悲,没有过不去的坎。振作起来,让过去成为过去,不要对自己太严厉,一直向前。慈悲些,我们都能变得更好。
