The Fewer Rules You Have, the Happier You'll Be.
You know how we sometimes trap ourselves with lots of "I don't likes" and "I can't accepts"? Things like, "I don't like this," "I can't accept that," or insisting "It has to be this way." The more we do this, the more the world seems to fight back, and it can make us feel pretty down. But here's a cool tip: try to start letting go of these self-imposed rules. For instance, if you believe people must answer you in a certain way, you need to understand that they might have different rules and that you can't really force others to follow your rules. Then, let go of the rule and be willing to accept people as they really are. You might be surprised! When you start accepting things you thought you couldn't, life gets simpler. Open your heart and drop those stubborn views. The fewer rules you set for yourself and others, the happier you'll be.
Translation
规则越少，心越快乐
你有没有发现我们有时会用很多的「我不喜欢」和「我不能接受」来限 制自己？像是「我不喜欢这个」、「我不能接受那个」，或是坚持「这 一定要这样做（或事情必须是这样的）」。我们越是这样，世界似乎越 是反抗，这样会让我们很不快乐。不过有个好建议：试著开始放下这些 自己强加的规则。例如，如果你认为大家必须用某种方式来回应你，你 需要理解他们可能有不同的规则，而你不能真的强迫别人遵循你的规 则。然后，放下规则，愿意接受人们都是这个样子。你可能会感到惊 喜！当你开始接受自己原本认为不能接受的事物时，生活会变得更简 单。敞开你的心胸，放下那些执念。你为自己和他人设下的规则越少， 你就会越快乐。
