【题目】Secrets to a great life
A great life doesn’t happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be. 【1】
A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misunderstand what simplify means. 【2】When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.
A great life is the result of your best effort. 【3】 It may mean re-evaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way. It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life.
【4】It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are doing things of greater significance.
A great life is the result of starting. There’s the old saying everyone’s familiar with “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There’s no better time to start than today.【5】Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart’s desires.
A. Look around at someone’s life you admire.
B. It’s not a way to remove work from your life
C. A great life is the result of doing important things
D. Don’t wait for a raise, or until the kids get older.
E. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts.
