Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
当你有不少合伙人和无尽的资源时，改变就更容易发生了。但，因为这种变化总是是源于身边的人过世的打击、离婚或是其他的一些生活悲剧，而且这类变化又毫无预兆地将大家赶出了我们的舒适圈，使大家不能不自己照顾自己，所以如此的变化也意味着大家要被迫一个人面对不少事情，这也是不少人最害怕的事情。
Probably the most difficult thing about pursuing significant change is doing it when you don’t have the knowledge, financial or emotional tools available to make the process go smoothly.
或许，在进行显著改变时遇见的最困难的事情，就是即使对有关常识一无所知，也缺少财务支持或情感工具，却还是要顺利完成。
However, as difficult as it can be, sometimes reaching our full potential means working without a net. Or, as Tony Robbins says, "If you want to take the island, burn the f’ing boats!"
然而，不管有多难，有时想要达到大家潜能的极限，其实仅需在工作时摆脱互联网的束缚。换言之，正如托尼• 罗宾斯所说，“假如你想去岛上，就烧了这类该死的船！”
For those truly dedicated to their mission, having fewer resources and no backup or fallback plan can be a surprising blessing as it forces you to get creative and forge new paths.
而对于那些真的致力于完成自己使命的人来讲，缺少资源、备份或应对计划都会被看作是一个意料之外之礼，由于这促进你变得更具创造力，了解另辟蹊径。
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world with zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings we often have our epiphanies too late to avoid certain painful outcomes.
我不了解是不是大概在离开这个世界时不留任何遗憾。由于自然生命周期有限，也只有悲剧结局，才能让大家清醒，这使大家时常顿悟得太晚，以致于不可回避那些让人痛苦的结局。
However, it is indefensible to can claim ignorance to the possible ramifications of continued inaction. The choice belongs to each and every one of us. We all have the power to change both our thoughts and behavior thereby giving more intentional direction to the remainder of our lives.
然而，把持续的无作为所致使的后果归由于无知是站不住脚的。选择权在大家每个人手中。大家都可以改变我们的思想和行为，去为之后的生活确立更明确的方向。
