〈别放棄奢望〉

Shannon L. Alder

The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache.

此時此刻你意識到你所關心的人不能在心智或精神層面幫助你，

卻只是讓你頭疼。

The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes.

此時此刻你知道神對你有更大的計劃，

但絕不會被捲入夜間哭鬧或是錨定悲傷的言詞。

The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom.

此時此刻你停止和別人比較，

因為攀比只會淘空你的價值、教育和你父母的智慧。

The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do.

People’s opinions don’t matter.

此時此刻你活在你的夢想中，不是為了那些能證明你或成就你的東西，

而是因為這是所有你想做的事。不要在乎別人的意見。

The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself.

此時此刻你知道沒有一個人是你的敵人，除了你自己以外。

The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life.

However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions,

the right passion and a willingness to risk it all.

If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it,

need it or God prevented it.

此時此刻你意識到你可以擁有你企盼的一切。

然而，需要對的時間、對的心志、對的行動、對的激情和意願，

去冒所有的風險。

如果不是你的，那是因為你真的不缺乏、不需要或神在是神阻止它。

You are not what others think you are. You are what God knows you are.

你並不是別人想像的那個樣子，而是神所知道的那個樣子。

The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person.

They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission.

此時此刻你意識到幸福是從來不在於得到某個人，

而只是實現你今生使命的伴侶。

The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning.

It is just a few moments in time,

followed by an eternity of situations to grow from.
此時此刻你相信愛情不關乎輸或贏，

只是這短短的片刻會延續發展成為永恆。

The moment you realize that you were always the right person.

Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.
此時此刻你真正知道你永遠是對的人，只有無知的人才遠離偉大。
