Change our "rules" for being happy

改变自己的“规定”获得幸福

What rule do we have to be happy? What has to happen for us to feel successful? Is it in our control? If it isn't then we might be setting ourselves up for failure. By rules I mean the set of circumstances that must be present for us to feel accomplished.

什么时候会感到幸福？发生什么样的事情会让我们觉得成功？这在我们的掌控之中么？如果不是，那我们也许就把自己推向了失败的不归路。所谓的规定，我指的是一些必须能让我们感到成功的特定场景。

We have to create rules that serve us. We have to live by rules that are within our control. Here are some of my rules: I am successful when I grow and improve. I am successful when I give my very best.

我们需要为自己制造规定，我们需要遵循这些可以由自己掌控的规则。比如我的规则是：只要我成长进步就是成功，只要我付出努力就是成功。
