为什么您不应该追逐金钱和权力（改为做什么）

“The problem with external power is that it is fleeting: when you lose the money, position and possessions, you lose the power. If you have tied your identity to those things, you will also lose a sense of who you are when they fall away.” Robin Sharma

曾经有一次我追求我们所有人都对追求的事情：金钱，声望和地位。

I was working on political campaigns and helping some of the most powerful people in the country get elected.我花了无数的时间绘制，制定策略和帮助候选人赢得了越来越高的办公室。
当我担任越来越重要的职位时，我得到了更多的报酬。与每个赢得办公室的候选人一起，我甚至可以与有影响力和力量的人获得更多的机会。

我一直在稳步前进，在国家的首都找到一份工作，那里有很多金钱和权力。

我的个人生活崩溃了，包括痛苦的离婚，使我放慢脚步并迫使我重新评估我的生活和优先事项。

See, I had thought that I was the sum of my achievements. And I defined myself by how much I was earning, whom I worked for or whom I knew. Sure, it was exhilarating and exciting, but at the same time, I realized that I really had lost a sense of my own self-identity.

I had given up my true power – the power inside me.

为了完成上面的报价，罗宾·夏尔马（Robin Sharma）提醒我们，“唯一值得任何东西的力量就是真实的力量 - 来自内部的力量。”

I’ve gone through a journey of struggle and reprioritization and have come out stronger. I no longer work in politics and am no longer pursuing careers based on financial decisions.

我学会了声称自己的真实和真正的力量 - 内部力量。
您改善自我价值并声称自己的真实力量的能力将帮助您过上成功而充实的生活。

您也可以通过三种方式发展真正的内在力量和力量。

1.您的思想力量。您的想法有能力塑造自己的大部分时间。

您的思想导致您的信仰体系，价值观以及您的爱和接受程度的形成。

正是您的想法使您将自己与他人进行比较，对自己窃窃私语，您还不够，并且需要外部成就才能验证自己。

In order to combat the lies that our thoughts entertain, we can learn to acknowledge them for what they are. We can call out our negative thoughts and challenge them.

When a belief arises that does not resonate with your self-identity, like the worry that you’re not good enough or others are more talented than you, you can write down a list of reasons why these statements are not true. Prove to yourself that the beliefs you have are untrue by focusing on the reasons you are good enough and as talented as anyone else.

使用自助文学，积极的自助笔记和口头肯定，以帮助您扭转对自己的想法和感受。倾听思想领袖和励志演讲者的意见，以帮助您更加重视自己。

您还必须通过忽略任何自欺欺人的想法来学会对自己保持友善。您的思想可能会认为他们，但您不必依附于他们。就像云一样，让这些有害的想法通过。

对待您的身心，就像一个爱自己的身心的人一样。不要让自己在观看或听到的声音中面临消极情绪。远离情况或让您对自己感到恐惧的人。

Use a heart-centered loving or mindfulness practice to generate feelings of love towards yourself. Allow the love within to expand to all parts of your body and all those around you.

When you mess up, let it go. When you want to yell at yourself, refrain. When you feel inadequate or incompetent, be compassionate towards yourself.

2.您的经验力量。尽管您可能会感到和怀疑，但您对自己的成功能力尽可能令人怀疑，这里有几种转移注意力并产生内部信心的方法。

See, when push comes to shove, you’ve done it before. Whenever you’ve confronted a challenge or uphill battle, you’ve gotten through it. You’ve survived. You have badges of achievement and have overcome hardships to get to where you are today.

When things were looking bleak, you got over it.

When facing an impossible task, you completed it.

When a solution was needed, you came up with it.

Know that you have the skills and solutions you need to survive.

一旦接受了一系列情况，如果您相信自己有答案，以及解决方案，灵感和新想法将会产生影响。

仅仅知道自己有能力和经验，就是解决出现的问题的关键。

其次，要愿意拥抱生活中的变化。

一种有力的生活方式是要面对变化和挑战。我们通常讨厌变革，因为我们相信变革将消除我们的渴望和价值。

您可以改变对变革的看法。将变化视为消极的，而是将变化视为智慧和成长，而是帮助您发展成为有能力成为的最好的人。

将变革视为老师。您体验到的越多，可以忍受变革，就可以实现的生活越多。

建立您的肌肉接受改变。

3.目标的力量。

发展的第三种技能是与您的真理和目标保持一致。
您很可能知道您的目的是什么，但是它可能会被藏起来。您的生活经历和其他人试图减少您为什么在这里的光芒，即使您一次知道它。

您有一个电话，您会在人生的旅程中发现它。您只需要意识到并在看到它时承认它。

虽然感觉就像您在黑暗中走动朝着自己的目的行走，但请注意您自然熟练的事情，您所爱的东西以及喜欢做的事情。
What do you do in your life that doesn’t feel like work? Most likely, that is narrowing in on your purpose.

另外，走遍世界，知道每种情况，经验和与某人会面最终都会使您受益。世界正在为您实现自己的命运而艰难和挣扎，甚至通过艰辛和挣扎来建立事情。
It may seem dark much of the time and not make any sense, but a deep belief that everything will work out in your favor is a good technique to help you achieve success.

如果您发现自己的目的但没有实现目标，请缓慢过渡。

稳定地朝着您的心脏照亮的事物。在工作时间以外的企业和想法上工作。建立自由基金，以便您辞职。减少支出，因此您可以改变职业或生活。

一旦您走上了目标之路，外界就无法动摇您。当您接听电话时，您将不可阻挡，环境将对您有利。

Never again tie yourself to the ups and downs of external gains and losses. The things you were told mattered by society are not as important as accepting yourself and living your truth.

External power may make you feel good, but inner power is the key to true inner strength, as well as freedom, happiness and fulfillment.
