Live in the moment 活在当下

Many of us tend to think that the grass is greener on the other side. Often, we get to the other side of the fence and find that this is not so.

我们当中有很多人总觉得，这山望那山高。常常我们去到另外一边又不觉得是那么一回事。

The motivation to change our lives comes from our desire to be happy. We are often so busy focusing on our pursuit of happiness that we miss the joy of actually living in the moment.

想要改变的动力往往来自我们想要快乐的渴望。我们总是忙着专注在追求幸福，但是我们错失活在当下的喜悦。

Our desire to have happiness in our lives is a desire of a future state, not of the present. We become so consumed with all our problems in the present that we miss the precious beauty of the moment.

得到快乐的渴望是一种对未来状态的渴望。我们往往会被当下的问题搞得精疲力尽，然后错失了当前的美丽。

Sitting on the beach eating an ice-cream with your best friend is a moment of happiness. Appreciating and showing gratitude on a daily basis is experiencing happiness in the moment. Helping those in need brings us joy and happiness.

和最好的朋友坐在海边吃冰激淋就是快乐的时刻，所以心存感激或是日常表示感恩就是在当下体验幸福。帮助需要帮助的人也会带给我们喜悦和幸福。

This is what living your life in the moment is all about – don’t miss these moments because you are too busy focusing on your pursuit of happiness.

这就是活在当下，不要因为忙着追求幸福。错过这些时刻。
