- You know that group of friends that you hang out with that really might not bring out the best in you?
- 你们知道吗，那群你们常厮混在一起的朋友并不能让你展现出最好的一面。
- You know, they gossip too much, or they're kind of shady, and they really aren't gonna be there for you in a pinch?
- 他们太爱传闲话，或者名声不好，在你需要的时候他们并未在你身边。
- Or how about that bar that we keep going to, that we always seem to have the worst hangover from?
- 又比如那个酒吧，我们常去那里，总是喝得烂醉，它怎么样呢？
- Or that computer screen, right, that computer screen that keeps giving us an excuse
- 又比如那个电脑屏幕。对，那个电脑屏幕一直给我们借口，
- not to get out of the house and engage with the world and get some real human interaction.
- 让我们足不出户，不去和世界打交道，获取真正的人际交流。它又怎么样呢？
- Or how about that food that we keep eating, that stuff that tastes so good going down,
- 再比如我们一直在吃的食物，那种吃下去口感很棒，
- makes us feel like crap the next week when we feel lethargic and we keep putting on weight?
- 但第二周却让我们感觉糟透了，让我们无精打采、体重飙升的食物，它又怎么样呢？
- Well, those people, those places, those things -- stop giving them your time and energy.
- 对于那些人，那些地方，那些东西--不要再花费时间和精力在上面。
- Just don't go there; I mean, put them down.
- 别再去那里；我的意思是，放下它们。
- And when you do this, when you do put 'em down, when you quit going there, when you quit giving them your time,
- 当你们这么做--真的放下的时候，当你不再去那里，不再在那上面浪费时间，
- you inadvertently find yourself spending more time and in more places that are healthy for you, that bring you more joy. Why?
- 之后，不经意间你就会发现，你将有更多的时间，去更多对你有益并带给你快乐的地方。为什么呢？
- Because you just eliminated the whos, the wheres, the whats, the whens that were keeping you from your identity.
- 因为你们清除了那些阻碍你们找到自我的人物、地点、事情和时间。
- Trust me, too many options, I promise you, too many options makes tyrants of us all.
- 相信我，选择太多--我向你们保证--选择太多会让我们变成暴君。
- So get rid of the excess, the wasted time, decrease your options.
- 所以，丢掉那些多余的东西，无意义的时间，减少选择。
- And if you do this, you will have accidentally, almost innocently, put in front of you what is important to you by process of elimination.
- 如果你这么做了，你就会通过这种清减过程，在不经意间，几乎是在毫无意识中得到对你重要的东西。
- Knowing who we are is hard. It's hard.
- 知道我们是谁这件事很难。真的很难。
- Give yourself a break. Eliminate who you are not first, and you're gonna find yourself where you need to be.
- 放轻松。首先清除掉不属于你的东西，你就会发现你需要成为什么样的人。
