Do you ever find yourself, while in the middle of an activity, wanting to get it over with as soon as possible? Do you then move on to whatever is next and find yourself longing to get that over with as well? 你有没有发现自己，在一个活动中，想尽快完成它？然后你会继续下一步的工作，发现自己也渴望结束这一切吗？

Envision a different approach. Think of how it would be if you could simply allow yourself to enjoy and find fulfillment in whatever you’re doing at the moment. 设想一种不同的方法。想一想，如果你能让自己享受并在目前正在做的任何事情中找到满足感，那会是怎样的情况。

When you fight against your current situation, the situation tends to fight back. Efforts that could otherwise be pleasant and satisfying turn into exasperating struggles. 当你与你当前的处境作斗争时，处境往往会反击。本来可以令人愉快和满意的努力变成了令人恼火的斗争。

What you bring to each moment has a powerful influence on how you experience that moment. So it makes good sense to bring the best of yourself. 你给每一个时刻带来的东西对你如何体验那个时刻有着强大的影响。所以，把自己最好的一面展现出来是很有意义的。

You cannot immediately change the fact that you are where you are, doing what you must do. What you can change is your attitude, and that will make all the difference. 你无法立即改变你在你所在之处，做你必须做的事情的事实。你能改变的是你的态度，这将使一切都不同。

Rather than seeking to get it over with, focus on getting it done well, on finding and optimizing the value of your experience. Bring your best to the moment, and you’re sure to gain good things from it. 不要试图把它做完，而是专注于把它做好，寻找和优化你的体验的价值。把你最好的一面展现在眼前，你一定会从中获得好的东西。
