RESISTANCE IS INVISIBLE
抵抗是无形的
Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled. But it can be felt. We experience it as an energy field radiating from a work-in-potential. It’s a repelling force. It’s negative. Its aim is to shove us away, distract us, prevent us from doing our work.
生词:
radiate:辐射
抵抗不能被看到,触摸,听到或闻到。 但是可以被感觉到。 我们将其视为从潜在工作中辐射出来的能量。 这是一种排斥力量。 它是消极的。 它的目的是推开我们,分散我们的注意力,阻止我们做我们的工作。
RESISTANCE IS INTERNAL
抵抗来源于内部
Resistance seems to come from outside ourselves. We locate it in spouses, jobs, bosses, kids. “Peripheral opponents,” as Pat Riley used to say when he coached the Los Angeles Lakers.
Resistance is not a peripheral opponent. Resistance arises from within. It is self-generated and self-perpetuated. Resistance is the enemy within.
抵抗似乎来自外部。 我们能在配偶、工作、老板和孩子中找到它。 “外部的敌人”,正如帕特莱利,在他执教洛杉矶湖人队时,曾经说过的那样。
抵抗不是外部敌人。 抵抗来自内部。 它是自我生成和自我延续的。 抵抗是内在的敌人。
RESISTANCE IS INSIDIOUS
Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. It will perjure, fabricate, falsify; seduce, bully, cajole. Resistance is protean. It will assume any form, if that’s what it takes to deceive you. It will reason with you like a lawyer or jam a nine-millimeter in your face like a stickup man. Resistance has no conscience. It will pledge anything to get a deal, then double-cross you as soon as your back is turned. If you take Resistance at its word, you deserve everything you get. Resistance is always lying and always full of shit.
生词:
insidious:潜伏的
perjure:作伪证
fabricate:伪造
falsify:歪曲
cajole:哄骗
protean:变化多端的
pledge:承诺
抵抗是潜伏起来的
抵抗会告诉你任何能阻止你工作的事。 它将作伪证、伪造、歪曲; 诱惑,欺负,哄骗。 抵抗是变化多端的。 它会采取任何能欺骗你的形式。 它会让你像一个律师一样和你讲道理,会像一个粘贴人一样在你的脸上塞满九毫米。 抵抗没有良知。 为了达成协议它会承诺任何事情,然后扭头就变了。 如果你接受抵抗,你就得承担这一切。 抵抗总是撒谎,总是很差劲。
RESISTANCE IS IMPLACABLE
Resistance is like the Alien or the Terminator or the shark in Jaws. It cannot be reasoned with. It understands nothing but power. It is an engine of destruction, programmed from the factory with one object only: to prevent us from doing our work. Resistance is implacable, intractable, indefatigable. Reduce it to a single cell and that cell will continue to attack.
This is Resistance’s nature. It’s all it knows.
生词:
IMPLACABLE:不可调和的,无情的
intractable:棘手的
indefatigable:不知疲倦的
抵抗是无情的
抵抗就像外星人、终结者或电影大白鲨中的鲨鱼。 无法和它讲道理。 它除了力量之外什么都不懂。 它是一个破坏的引擎,在工厂被编程为只有一个目标:阻止我们做我们的工作。 抵抗是无情的,棘手的,不知疲倦的。 即使将它缩减为一个细胞,这个细胞仍会继续攻击。
这是抵抗的本性。 这就是它所知道的全部。
RESISTANCE IS IMPERSONAL
Resistance is not out to get you personally. It doesn’t know who you are and doesn’t care. Resistance is a force of nature. It acts objectively.
Though it feels malevolent, Resistance in fact operates with the indifference of rain and transits the heavens by the same laws as the stars. When we marshal our forces to combat Resistance, we must remember this.
生词:
IMPERSONAL:没有人情味的、客观的
malevolent:恶毒的
抵抗是没有人情味的
抵抗不是针对你个人。 它不知道你是谁,也不在乎。 抵抗是自然的力量。 它客观地行动。
虽然它感觉起来很恶毒,但实际上,抵抗是客观的,是一种自然规律。 当我们组织力量来对抗它时,我们必须记住这一点。
RESISTANCE IS INFALLIBLE
Like a magnetized needle floating on a surface of oil, Resistance will unfailingly point to true North—meaning that calling or action it most wants to stop us from doing.
We can use this. We can use it as a compass. We can navigate by Resistance, letting it guide us to that calling or action that we must follow before all others.
Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action is to our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.
生词:
INFALLIBLE:不可能出错的
抵抗力是不可能出错的
就像漂浮在石油表面上的磁化针一样,抵抗将永远指向真正的北方 - 这意味着它最想做的时就是阻止我们行动。
我们可以利用这一点。 我们可以用它作为指南针。 我们可以通过抵抗导航,让它指引我们去做那些必须先于其他人的事情。
大拇指法则:一件事越是重要,我们感受到的抵抗就越强。(译者注:一件事情越是重要,我们就越有压力,越害怕失败,然后就想逃避,因此感受到的抵抗就很强烈。)
RESISTANCE IS UNIVERSAL
We’re wrong if we think we’re the only ones struggling with Resistance. Everyone who has a body experiences Resistance.
抵抗是普遍存在的
如果我们认为自己是唯一与抵抗做斗争的人,那就错了。 任何人都会经历抵抗。
RESISTANCE NEVER SLEEPS
Henry Fonda was still throwing up before each stage performance, even when he was seventy-five. In other words, fear doesn’t go away. The warrior and the artist live by the same code of necessity, which dictates that the battle must be fought anew every day.
抵抗从不休息
Henry Fonda在舞台表演前仍会呕吐,即使他已经七十五岁了。 换句话说,恐惧不会消失。 战士和艺术家遵循相同的准则,这决定了战斗必须每天重新进行。
RESISTANCE PLAYS FOR KEEPS
Resistance’s goal is not to wound or disable. Resistance aims to kill. Its target is the epicenter of our being: our genius, our soul, the unique and priceless gift we were put on earth to give and that no one else has but us. Resistance means business. When we fight it, we are in a war to the death.
生词:
epicenter:中心
抵抗的目标不是让我们受伤和残废,而是要杀死我们。 它的目标是我们的核心:我们的天赋,我们的灵魂,我们被给予的独特、无价、仅我们拥有的礼物。 当我们和它做斗争时,我们是在与死亡战斗。
RESISTANCE IS FUELED BY FEAR
Resistance has no strength of its own. Every ounce of juice it possesses comes from us. We feed it with power by our fear of it. Master that fear and we conquer Resistance.
