You are what you think about. Can you create a better life by simply thinking about it? Of course not– that’s absurd. But if your mind is dominated by negative thoughts, it’s hard to get motivated to make positive changes that will improve your life. Please consider these 10 dangerous thoughts you should avoid.

我思故我在。但仅靠思考就能创造更美好的生活吗？显然不是——这也太荒谬了。不过，要是你脑子里尽是些消极想法，那就很难作出积极改变进而改善自身生活。下面这10个负面想法你必须尽量避免。

1. “I guess this is as good as it gets.”

“我觉得这样就差不多了。”

The second you become complacent, your progress in life will come to a screeching halt. No matter how good you are at something, you could always stand to improve in some aspect. Learn a new craft, hobby or language to keep your mind creative and fresh. Discover ways to increase the quality of your work or decrease the time it takes to complete tasks you’re already good at (then you’ll have more time for the important things that really make you happy!). Make sure personal growth isn’t just something you talk about–make it a daily event.

一旦你骄傲自满，生活进步就会戛然而止。不论你对某件事多么擅长，总有可以不断提高的地方。学习一项新技能、发展一个新爱好或掌握一门新语言，让思维保持新鲜活力。想办法提高工作质量或减少完成娴熟任务的时间，这样你就能争取更多时间去做开心而重要的事情了！请记住：个人成长靠的不是嘴上功夫——而是日复一日的具体行动。
