If you want to know how close you are to happiness, here’s some self-assessment you can do. Be honest with yourself as you answer the following questions - otherwise, the exercise won’t be helpful.
如果想知道自己是否快樂(lè)，下面這些自我評(píng)估問(wèn)題可以幫你找到答案。在回答問(wèn)題時(shí)要忠實(shí)于內(nèi)心答案，否則評(píng)估是無(wú)效的。
Do you feel safe in your everyday life? If you feel unsafe, that’s all you can focus on - you don’t have the time to be happy.
你每天是否有安全感?如果沒(méi)有安全感，你就會(huì)專心攻克這個(gè)問(wèn)題，也就沒(méi)有時(shí)間享受快樂(lè)。
Do you feel you have enough of what you need to be happy? Having enough of what you need isn’t the same as having everything you want. Sure, you may be dying for a new car, but do you have a car that gets you from point A to point B? If so, you have what you need.
你是否因擁有所需的物品而感到快樂(lè)?擁有所需的物品并不等于擁有所有想要的東西。當(dāng)然，如果有輛新車你會(huì)開(kāi)心的不得了，但你現(xiàn)在是否有輛車可以把你從A地帶往B地?如果有，你就擁有了所需的物品。
Do you often find a quiet place to enjoy a moment of self-reflection? Sanctuary is a good thing. Unfortunately, in today’s hectic, fast-paced world, most people have too little of it. A quiet moment here and there can make all the difference in how you feel throughout the day.
你是否經(jīng)常找一個(gè)安靜的地方享受獨(dú)處，自我反省?獨(dú)處是非常好的。可惜現(xiàn)代社會(huì)太浮躁，節(jié)奏太快，很少人會(huì)這樣做。享受安靜的'時(shí)刻會(huì)改變你全天的感受。
Are you satisfied with your finances, relationships, and career? Being satisfied doesn’t necessarily mean that you have all the money in the world, a perfect marriage, or an outstanding career. It just means that things are all right for the moment.
你是否對(duì)自己的財(cái)務(wù)狀況，人際關(guān)系和事業(yè)感到滿意?這種滿意不是說(shuō)你擁有世界上所有的錢(qián)，完美的婚姻或高大上的職業(yè)。而是指目前一切都處于正常狀態(tài)。
Are you optimistic about your life? From where you’re standing, does the future look bright? Do you envision more good times than bad in the months ahead? Are you hopeful about the future? If so, you can move forward with joyful anticipation.
你對(duì)生活是否有信心?從你現(xiàn)在所處位置來(lái)看，未來(lái)是否是光明的?對(duì)接下來(lái)的幾個(gè)月的幻想是否是好事情多于壞事情?你對(duì)未來(lái)是否充滿希望?如果是，你可以滿懷期待地繼續(xù)自己的生活。
Are you grateful for the way your life is unfolding? Being grateful can be as simple as waking up every morning and saying "thank you" for the challenges, promises, and opportunities this day offers you.
對(duì)于正在展開(kāi)的生活你是否心懷感激?這其實(shí)可以非常簡(jiǎn)單，哪怕每天早晨醒來(lái)對(duì)生活所賦予你的挑戰(zhàn)、承諾和機(jī)會(huì)說(shuō)聲"謝謝你"也可以。
Do you often experience peace of mind? Can you actually hear yourself think without the noisy outside world intruding? Can you feel the power of silence? A quiet mind and a quiet body go hand in hand.
你是否經(jīng)常感到內(nèi)心平靜?你是否可以聽(tīng)到自己思索的聲音而不受外界的干擾?你是否能感受到安靜的力量?安靜的內(nèi)心和平和的身體是緊密聯(lián)系的。
Would you rate your health and well-being as above average? You don’t have to be a perfect 10 - anything from 6 on up means you’re ahead of the game. If you’re comparing yourself to others, make sure it’s a fair comparison. A 60-year-old can’t rate his health as above average if his standard is the way he felt when he was 20.
你是否認(rèn)為自己的身體狀況高于大眾平均值?答案不必是滿滿的10分，只要6分以上都說(shuō)明你領(lǐng)先于他人。如果你拿自己與他人比較，請(qǐng)確保其公平性。一個(gè)60歲的老人的身體狀況不可能高于平均值，如果他的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)自己20歲時(shí)的狀態(tài)。
Do you often find yourself feeling content? Being content means you’re comfortable with where you are at this moment in life and you have no burning desire to make a change. Life is good and you want to savor it.
你是否經(jīng)常感到滿足?滿足是指你對(duì)自己的現(xiàn)狀感到非常舒服，沒(méi)有急切地想改變現(xiàn)狀的想法。生活很美好并且你想慢慢品位。
So are you happy? It depends on how many of these questions you answered with "yes."
所以你開(kāi)心嗎?那就看你這些問(wèn)題的答案有幾個(gè)是“是的”啦。
