12个迹象表明你已开始追逐梦想

If you’ve ever considered making a living doing something besides working 40 hours a week making someone else rich, this article is for you.

如果你考虑过在每周帮别人赚钱致富的40个工时外做点兼职谋生，这篇文章就是为你而写。

“The only true success that exists is when we find a way to make a living doing exactly what we want. When you wake up every morning and create your day exactly how you dream it to be, that is success. When your passion and your work are aligned, when you would do your job for free because you like it so much, that is success.” ~ Eric Dubay

“唯有发现自己刚好以心中渴望的方式来谋生，那才是真正的成功。只有当你每日清晨醒来，按着梦想轨迹去设计日程，那才是成功。当你的梦想和事业已相互交织，当你能因心中的热爱而自由地工作，那就是成功。”-艾瑞克.杜拜

1. You’ll step out of your comfort zone. Way out.

And then you’ll find out that comfort is overrated, anyway.

1.你会跨出舒适区。勇往直前。

之后你会发现舒适不过如此，就那样。

2. You’ll get scared.

And then you’ll survive, and it will be impossible for the same things to ever scare you as much again.

2.你开始害怕。

接着努力生存，最终你不会让相同的事情惊吓两次。

3. Sometimes you’ll be uncertain.

When you’re uncertain, you can do one of two things:

1 Stop and wait for inspiration to lead you to the next logical step, or

2 Take a leap of faith and act, knowing that, even if you make a bad choice, you’ll survive and probably learn a heck of a lot in the process.

3.有时你会迷茫。

当你迷茫时，你可以这样做：

1打消迷茫，等待那份引领你迈向下一逻辑阶段的启迪，或者

2从信念和行动上开始飞跃，要知道，即便选择错误，你仍能存活并且可能在此过程受益匪浅。

4. You’ll be tempted to bail out for something more secure. And you’ll get over it.

Job security is a myth. “Regardless of pension promises or signed contracts, the real fact of the matter is there is no ‘job security’ in working for someone else. If at any time for any reason the boss has a problem with you, the market goes south, your contract’s over, the clientele fades, the account goes red, or the business goes belly-up, then you’re high and dry on your way to becoming an unemployment statistic.” ~ Eric Dubay

4.你会渴望更加安稳的事业。并又会打消此念头。

工作保障纯属瞎扯。“不管是养老金还是劳务合同，关键在于只要是为别人打工，就没有‘工作保障’一说。在任何时候，老板出于各种原因对你不满、市场下滑、合同到期、客户流失、账户亏损或生意泡汤，那么你将在失业的路上艰难前行。”-艾瑞克.杜拜

5. You will doubt your sanity.

Yep. And so will most other people. But think about it: what has “sanity” has gotten them? What did “sanity” get you?

5.你会怀疑你的聪明才智

是。其他多数人都会。但想一想：“聪明才智”给他们带来了什么?给你带来了什么?

6. You won’t be able to please everyone.

There will be folks who are uncomfortable with what you are doing, and unfortunately, some of them will be people you care about. It’s okay; just keep your mouth shut and pursue your dreams without their approval. Pretty soon, you’re going to start noticing new people coming into your life whose hearts sing on your behalf.

6.你取悦不了每个人

周遭对你所作所为不满的人有许多，不幸的是，其中就有些是你在乎的人。但没关系;你只需要默默地追求你的梦想，无需他们的赞同。很快，你便会发现有新的人进入你的生活，并与你有着相同的频率。

7. You’ll learn just how brilliant and resourceful you really are.

And when you know that you can stand on your own two feet without any help—man, that feels great!

7.你会知道自己到底有多优秀，有多机智。

一旦你能独自站稳脚跟了-伙计，那感觉棒极了!

8. You’ll start meeting other people who chose to pursue their dreams, too.

There are lots of cool people out here on the ragged edge. This is where the creators are. This is where the children are. This is where the visionaries are. This is where the John Lennons, the Ghandis, the Oprahs, the Steve Jobs, the Bill Gates, the Nelson Mandelas, the Tony Robbins, and the Abraham Lincolns hang out. You’re in good company!

8.你会开始遇见跟你一同追梦的人。

很多厉害的人都会处在困乏的境地。那里有开拓者们，有孩子们，有先知们;有约翰.列侬，有甘地，有奥普拉，有史蒂夫.乔布斯，有比尔.盖茨，有纳尔逊.曼德拉，有托尼.罗宾，还有亚伯拉罕.林肯。你所处氛围真好!

9. You’ll learn how to be patient.

You’ll learn that the best clients, the best gigs, the best customers are all worth waiting for, even if it means eating Ramen noodles and couch surfing for a year.

9.你将学会耐心。

你会懂得最好的顾客，最好的生意，最好的客户都值得等待，即便要你吃一年的拉面，住一年的交换宿舍。

10. You’ll learn to trust that your basic needs will always be met.

You survived your childhood in spite of all the stupid stunts you pulled. The universe isn’t going to let you die just like that.

10.你会相信基本的需求几乎都能得到满足。

通过各种荒诞的花样，你终是从童年挣扎过来了。这个世界不会那样就让你完蛋的。

11. You will discover the true meaning of faith.

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen.” ~Hebrews 11:1.

“Assurance!” “Conviction!” This means that your dreams are already here, even though you can’t see them, smell them, touch them, or taste them yet.

11.你将发现信仰的真谛。

“信就是所望之事的实底、是未见之事的确据。”-《希伯来书》

“实底!”“确据!”就是指你的梦想早已成形，即便现在你看不见，闻不着，摸不到，尝不了。

12. You’ll wonder why you waited so long.

You’ll find yourself bouncing out of bed in the morning, eager to get started on your list for the day. You’ll have a burning desire to contribute to the world, to uplift everyone on the planet through what you do, because you love it so much. And even though sometimes it’s rough, it’s so much better than being a wage slave, you’ll never want to go back.

12.你将惊叹自己不离不弃。

你会发现自己早晨一骨碌翻爬起身便热切地拟定行程。你的内心将燃烧着一把焰火，烧着你去改变世界，烧着你去影响所有人，因为你热爱手头的事。即便有时举步维艰，但也好过于当个薪水奴隶，而你从未想过回头。
