9. Unlock your past. If you have something holding you back, an old trauma or past anger, do something about it, or you will undermine your efforts at passionate living. How can you live with passion when you have a hole in your heart? Go to a counselor or other helping professional and heal the past so you can create your future。

　　对过去敞开心扉。若过去的创伤或愤怒阻止你向前，一定要采取措施面对，否则这些过往会一点点破坏你充满激情的生活。试想，当你的心有空洞时你怎能积极地生活呢？让咨询师或心理专家帮助你治愈你的过往吧，你将会创造属于自己的未来。

10. Define your values. What is important to you? What values define you? Your passion must be centered around your primary values so that your life reflects who you are。

　　认清你的价值。什么是你认为最重要，最有价值的？你的热情必须围绕着你最在乎的东西，从而可以通过生活发现自己究竟是谁。

11. Sketch out a vision. It’s two years down the road. Who are you now? What are you doing? Start sketching a vision for yourself, as though you have no limitations on who you can be or what you can do. Just pretend for now。

　　拟定一个大致目标。将目标期望实现时间定为两年。现在你是谁？正在做什么？开始为自己拟一个计划吧。你可以成为什么样的人，你可以做什么，一切都可以随意发挥。从现在开始假设。

12. Research. Start to create a little curiosity and interest in possibilities. Look online at other careers, or adventurous travel, or classes in basket weaving。

　　钻研。培养对可能实现的事情的兴趣和好奇心。上网找找其他可发展的事业，尝试冒险的旅行或参加竹篮编织家政课等都是不错的途径。

13. Consider an education boost. You don’t have to go back to get your MBA to change careers. There are many certification programs that train you to begin something brand new.If you have the time and money, then go for the MBA!

　　考虑学业进修。你不必出于事业考虑而专门重返校园拿MBA证书——除非你有足够的时间和资金。现在有许多证书培训课程就是为想改头换面的你而设置的。

14. Weigh your priorities. Money is often the factor that holds people back from their dreams. If I had to choose between a lot of money but living in mediocrity or living with less money but feeling happy and fulfilled — I would choose the latter. How about you? If so, decide the least amount of money you and your family could live on, and work from there. You might have to move, scale back, live lean. Is it worth it to you?

　　分清优先级。金钱总是最阻碍人们实现梦想的因素。如果要在“活得平庸却有很多钱”和“钱少点但却充实快乐”中选择，我会选择后者。你呢？如果你也是，那么就从能支撑你和你家庭最基本的钱开始努力吧！你可能会搬家，节衣缩食，深居简出，你认为那样值得吗？

15. Keep trying. The process of finding my passion took a couple of years. You may have to try a few and eliminate a few things before you discover what feels great. It may creep up on you rather than knocking you in the head. Have patience. Keep digging。

　　坚持不松懈。找回热情的过程花了我几年的时间。在途中你可能不得不尝试一些，又放弃一些，直到你找到真正使你满意的东西。热情只会缓慢降临在你身边而不会突然出现。你得有耐心，一直挖掘下去吧！

　　You do have a passion, but you can’t wait for it to come to you. You have to go find it. Actually, you have to uncover it because it’s already with you。

　　其实你本来拥有热情，但你不能只是坐着等待它的降临，它需要你努力去寻找。事实上，它已经在你身边了，只等着你去发现。
