Seven ways to find out what you really want in life

Be good to yourself

You can’t pinpoint(准确指出) exactly what you want in life .You’re constantly sacrificing your time and dreams for other people.【1】Ask yourself: if you weren’t tied down by your job, family, or anything else, then what would you be doing right now?

Regret nothing

To be good to yourself is not selfish. It’s your life. It’s time for you to live it exactly the way you want to. If you constantly regret things you did or didn’t do in the past, then you won’t be able to move forward.【2】

Figure out what you need

Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what you need. Sit down and think about what you need most. The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else? If it helps, you can make a list. Also think about the kind of legacy(遗产) you want to leave behind.

【3】

You can fly only by pushing back against something you don’t want. Figure out what upsets you, and be specific about it. Don’t just say that you hate your office job. Pinpoint exactly why you hate it. Could it be your strict boss? Your workload? Your meaningless job title? Or all of the above?

Determine what makes you truly happy

There’s no life to waste if you’re happy with living it. Think about what makes you happy. Being around children? Is it traveling? Owning a successful business? Financial freedom?【4】

Let people around you know what you’re trying to achieve

Don’t keep your goals and desires to yourself. Voice it all out! If you tell people what you’re trying to accomplish, they will most likely support you and give you new ideas. Sometimes mother does know best!

Stay positive

Life doesn’t always go how you want it. Don’t feel discouraged as your plans stray(偏离). Take control. Instead of being anxious, try your best to advance with the changes. You will get there someday.【5】You’re just taking a little detour.

A．Don’t live in the past but live in the present!

B．Sometimes a positive attitude is all you need to keep going.

C．Determine what really bothers you.

D．Once you pinpoint the one thing that makes you happy the most, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what you should struggle hard to get in your life.

E. You have to put yourself first, because if you don’t, then no one else will.

F. Determine what you are going to do next.

G. You should think of things positively.

【解析】试题分析：本文属于说明文，介绍了七种找到生活中最想要的事物的方法。

【1】E 根据本段标题Be good to yourself可知本段主要告诉我们要对自己好。不要总是为他人牺牲，要把自己放在前面。如果你在意自己，又有谁会在意你。所以E项与本段的标题一致。

【2】A 根据横线前句If you constantly regret things you did or didn’t do in the past, then you won’t be able to move forward.可知如果总是为过去的事情遗憾，人们就无法前进。所以要忘记过去，活在当下。故A项“Don’t live in the past but live in the present!”符合上下文串联。

【3】C 根据本段第二句 Figure out what upsets you, and be specific about it. Don’t just say that you hate your office job. 可知不要抱怨，而是要搞清楚什么事情困扰着我们。所以C项“Determine what really bothers you.”与本段中心思想一致。

【4】D根据本段标题Let people around you know what you’re trying to achieve及横线前两句Think about what makes you happy. Being around children? Is it traveling? Owning a successful business? Financial freedom?可知我们要思考让我们幸福的是什么？当我们知道了什么让我们幸福的时候，我们就会知道生活中我们追求什么。故D正确。

【5】B 本段的标题是Stay positive保持积极乐观的态度。再根据横线本段二、三、四句Don’t feel discouraged as your plans stray(偏离). Take control. Instead of being anxious, try your best to advance with the changes.当我们偏离方向的时候，不要难过。因为积极的态度会让我们继续前行。故B项与本段中心思想一致。
