<5 Steps to Live the Life You Want 達到夢想生活的５個步驟>

Are you living a life you've always wanted? Or, is your life doing great but they're some things you want to improve. In this post I am going to tell you 5 easy steps to live the life you want. This method doesn't work only for careers, use these simple steps to boost your finance, relationships, health, and more.

你現在的生活是你想要的嗎? 還是說你的生活還不錯，但還是有些地方是想要改善的呢? 在這篇文章中，我要告訴你5個簡單的步驟來達到你想要的生活。這個方法不只適用於職業，也可以用來改善財務狀況、人際關係、健康等。

STEP 1: Find out what you really want.

First, you will have to figure out what you really want deep inside your heart. It's not what your parents want for you or what the society wants for you, is that deep down desire you have been overlooked. If you want a better job, think about what career do you really want and what success means to you. If you want to solve the money problem, think about how much money you really want. Do you want to be a billionaire or just enough money for you to be comfortable? If you want a better love life, think about what kind of relationship you want.

第一步: 找出你真正要的是什麼。

首先，你要先釐清你內心深處真正想要的是什麼，不是父母或社會對你的期望，而是你忽略已久內心真正的渴望。如果你想要更好的工作，想想你希望在什麼樣的領域發展，和「成功」對你而言是什麼。如果想解決財務問題，想想你希望擁有多少財富，想成為一個大富翁，還是可以無憂無慮就好。如果你想要更好的感情生活，想想你想要什麼樣的兩性關係。

STEP 2: Find a reason why you want this.

Having a strong "why" can motivate you to move on toward your goals. And, the strongest reasons are the reasons that start from yourself. You are making these goals for yourself, what you really want. It's your life afterall.

第二步: 找到想要的原因。

有一個強烈的「為什麼」可以引導你前往你的目標，而最強烈的原因是來自於自己，因為這些目標是給你的，是你想要的生活。畢竟人生是自己的。

STEP 3: State the problem.

Since you are not living the life you want right now, there must be something that is stopping you. It is important to figure out what the problems is to make a change. Also, don't be pissed, but this problem is definitely about YOU. So, do not try to make it easier by blaming other people, the era, the government, or the society. All the changes must start within yourself!

第三步: 找到問題所在。

既然你現在的生活不是你想要的，那這中間一定有什麼阻擋了你。為了要改變不好的慣性，就要找出問題所在。而提示就是，這個問題一定是「自己」。所以不要逃避，不要責怪別人、時代、政府、或社會。 所有的改變都是從自己開始！

STEP 4: Make a new plan or strategy.

If what you are doing right now is not taking you closer to the life you want, it is obvious you need a new plan. This new plan is going to overcome the obstacle you just figure out and get you what you really want. Of course the plan may need some adjustment along the way, so all you need to do is make the first draft. There is no need to stress about this, just write down how you want to do this.

第四步: 擬定新的計劃和策略。

如果你現在做的事情並沒有幫助你往夢想前進，很顯然你需要一個新的計劃。這個新計劃要排除你剛剛找出的障礙，並且讓你得到你想要的。當然過程中這個計劃一定會需要做一些修正，所以現在只要先擬出第一版的初稿就好。不需要感受到任何壓力，只要簡單的寫下你打算怎麼做就可以了。

STEP 5: Make the first tiny step.

Enough of thinking and planning, ACTION is what's going to take you to your dream life. To make this step doable, make it as tiny and simple as possible. There is no need to do something great and smart. If the first move you want to do is a bit of a challenge, you may never do it. Think of a simple step so easy you are going to laugh at it. If you want to open an online store, search for different platforms on the internet. If you want to get in touch with old friends, just write down their names. If you want to be an entrepreneur, read an article of how to start your own business. Take a little step every day and keep repeating. You could be much closer to your goal faster than you think. And, they are so easy there's no stress to scare you out.

第五步: 邁出簡單的第一步。

思考和計劃的部分已經足夠了，真正能帶你往目標前進的是「行動」。為了要讓這第一步更容易執行，盡量讓它越小越簡單越好，不需要想一個很厲害的事情來做，因為如果你設立的第一步有點挑戰的話，很有可能你永遠都不會去執行。想一個簡單得好笑的步驟。如果你想在網路上賣東西，上網查一下有哪些不同的平台。如果你想跟老朋友聯繫，寫下你想連絡的名單。如果你想成為一個創業家，看一篇有關於創業的文章。每天不斷的做一件小事並不斷的重複，很快的就會離你的目標越來越近了。

Take a look at all aspects of you life, is there anything you want to make it better? You want to have a healthier diet? Learn a new language? Have a better relationship with your partner? Just follow these 5 easy steps, take a small action, keep doing more small actions, and have fun during the process. Soon, you will be nailing every part of your life! Good luck!

看看你現在的生活，有沒有什麼是你想要改善的呢？想要有更健康的飲食？學習一個新的語言？跟夥伴有跟良好的關係？只要運用著五的簡單的步驟，每天往前一小步，持續不斷的重複，並享受這個過程。很快的你就會對你的生活非常滿意囉！加油！
