我做了很大改变才成为如今的自己。我雇了一位私人医生和一位生活导师，开始认真练习瑜伽。我曾静坐整整10天，全身心投入冥想，在秘鲁亚马逊和一位萨满祭司饮用死藤水（小编注：用南美一种藤本植物的根泡制而成，有致幻作用的饮料）。我尝试了各种冒险活动，完全忠于探索自己的内心所需，并思考着我愿意怎样做才能获得它。

I want this for us all. Although I am skeptical about most New Year's resolutions—my brother says we just use them to make ourselves feel better after overindulging in the holidays—I think now is as good a time as any to make the changes you’ve been thinking about. These are five ideas that have helped me on my quest to be happier.

我希望把我的想法分享给大家。虽然对人们常讲的新年计划我持怀疑态度——弟弟说那其实人们为了享受假期找的美好慰藉——但我认为对于你们当中任何有规划新年习惯的朋友，现在就是最好的时机了。

1. Put the cart before the horse. The most important—and at times perhaps the most annoying—piece of advice that I’ve gotten is just to straight out be happier. We get so caught up in trying to look perfect, get promoted, be cool, find a partner. All of that stuff is awesome, but it's not going to feel good for long without a certain base of personal contentment. You’re just going to want more and more. If you really think about it, we seek things because we think we will feel better once we have them. So why not just feel better and then see what comes?
