讓新年夢想成真的祕訣

So you want to be a better you this year, and have the life you say you want, the ever elusive dream. The dream that lingers year after year until you know if you don't do something about it, you will simply fade into oblivion. 在這一年裏你想超越自己，過上你念念不忘、夢寐以求的生活，實現遙不可及的夢。夢想年復一年地徘徊，直到你明白如果再不做點什麼，你將會淡忘它的存在。

Now the New Year is here! What will you do? Will you once again set intentions and resolutions only to be disappointed? Or will you set intentions and resolutions, create a plan and move into action. 現在新的一年就在眼前！你要做什麼？你還要繼續紙上談兵，最後失望而歸嗎？還是你會運用你的意願和方式，做一個計劃並付諸實踐呢？

Now you may be thinking, create a plan, is she crazy? I don't have time for that! I'm already busy enough and she wants me to take time from my busy life and create a plan. Yes, you're exactly right! I know that life can be very busy and without a plan, your dream will remain a dream. 你可能在想：做計劃，她瘋了嗎？我哪有時間做那個！我已經夠忙了，她還想讓我從百忙之中抽出時間做計劃！是的，完全正確！我知道你的生活很忙碌，但是如果沒有計劃，夢想將永遠只是個夢。

Life is about choosing. Claiming and using your right to choose is very important in having the life you say you want, turning your dream into reality. Throughout the year, when you find that you're wavering, ask, "is this my dream and how bad do I want it". If you're motivated by your answer, you know you're on the right track. 生活是充滿了選擇的。大聲講出來並行使你的選擇權對於過上你渴望的生活是至關重要的，能讓你夢想成真。在這一年之中，當你發現你在猶豫不決，就問問自己，"這是不是我的夢想？我有多渴望實現它？"。如果你的答案能夠鼓舞你，那你就站在了正確的軌道上。

So that this year will be different and since you've waited to get started, here are some tips to help you make meaningful resolutions and set intentions that support you in having the life you say you want. Your dream is awaiting your action. 所以這一年將是不同尋常的一年，由於在開始之前你已經等了很久，讓我告訴你一些祕訣幫你有效地解決問題，並做出能使你過上夢想中生活的決定。夢想在即，等待你追隨的腳步。

Saying that you want something different without thinking and acting differently ensures that you continue to have your pipe dream. Are you willing to stop procrastinating and start doing? Imagine the difference you will experience knowing that you took full responsibility and control in creating the life you say you want! 你總是在念叨想要不同的生活，卻不想也不做不同的事，這會保證你永遠做的是白日夢。你想要不再耽擱時間並開始做事嗎？發揮你的想象力，假設你終於完全負責並主宰自己的圓夢之路，盡情想象到那時的不同感受吧！

Wishing you joy, health, prosperity and love in the New Year! 願新的一年中，快樂、健康、成功和愛常伴你左右！
