人生中展露出來。 下面是為大家的經(jīng)典英語美文閱讀: 生活在此時(shí)此

moment is
where you are --always.
我們內(nèi)心是否平和在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現(xiàn)實(shí)之
中所決定的。不管昨天或去年發(fā)生了什么, 不管明天可能發(fā)生或不發(fā)
生什么,現(xiàn)實(shí)才是你時(shí)時(shí)刻刻所在之處。

中的大部分時(shí)間花在為種種事情擔(dān)心憂慮上 --- 而且常常是同時(shí)憂慮
許多事情。我們聽?wèi){過去的麻煩和未來的擔(dān)心控制我們此時(shí)此刻的生

不幸的是,如此告誡我們朝前看的大腦動(dòng)力只能重復(fù)來重復(fù)去, 以致

約翰列農(nóng)曾經(jīng)說過:“生活就是當(dāng)我們忙于制定別的計(jì)劃時(shí)發(fā)生的事?!碑?dāng)我們忙于制定種種“別的計(jì)劃”時(shí),我們的孩子在忙于長(zhǎng)大,我們摯愛的人離去了甚至快去世了,我們的體型變樣了,而我們的夢(mèng)想也在悄然溜走了。一句話,我們錯(cuò)過了生活。

許多人的生活好像是某個(gè)未來日子的彩排。 并非如此。事實(shí)上,
沒人能保證他或她明天肯定還活著。
10、現(xiàn)在是我們所擁有的惟一時(shí)間,
現(xiàn)在也是我們能控制的惟一時(shí)間。當(dāng)我們將注意力放在此時(shí)此刻時(shí),
我們就將恐懼置于腦后。恐懼就是我們擔(dān)憂某些事情會(huì)在未來發(fā)生
--- 我們不會(huì)有足夠的錢,我們的孩子會(huì)惹上麻煩,我們會(huì)變老,會(huì)死去,諸如此類。

若要克服恐懼心理,最佳策略便是學(xué)會(huì)將你的注意力拉回此時(shí)
此刻。馬克吐溫說過: “我經(jīng)歷過生活中一些可怕的事情,有些的
確發(fā)生過?!蔽蚁胛艺f不出比這更具內(nèi)涵的話。經(jīng)常將注意力集中于
此情此景、此時(shí)此刻,你的努力終會(huì)有豐厚的報(bào)償。
