＃1.實現真正的自我有公式。
Everyone has a psychophysical nature which determines where they flourish and thrive. Dharma is using this natural inclination, the things you’re good at, your thrive mode, to serve others. 

You should feel passion when the process is pleasing and your execution is skillful. And the response from others should be positive, showing that your passion has a purpose. This is the magic formula for dharma.
Passion+Expertise+Usefulness=Dharma

If we’re only excited when people say nice things about our work, it’s a sign that we’re not passionate about the work itself. And if we indulge our interests and skills, but nobody responds to them, then our passion is without purpose. If either piece is missing, we’re not living our dharma.

The truth is 
You can’t be anything you want.
But you can be everything you are.

Quadrants of Potential

Question: how can we move more of our time and energy toward section two - doing things we are good at and I love?

＃2.想像力是你的超能力。
Meditation: visualise
Often the mental pictures we have form simply form the repetition of an activity rather than because we have chosen them. Visualisation can be used to intentionally turn a moment into a memory. Use this visualisation to create a memory or to capture joy, happiness and purpose. It can also be used to deeply connect with an old memory, returning to a time and place when you felt joy, happiness and purpose. If you are creating a memory, keep your eyes open. If you are reconnecting, then close them.

＃3.感恩日記會幫助你。
It’s hard to believe that thankfulness could actually have measurable benefits but the science is there. Gratitude has been linked to better mental health, self-awareness, better relationships and a sense of fulfilment.

最後，善待自己，讓這股善意滋養世界。
Last but not least, be kinder to yourself. And then let your kindness flood the world.
