This video is all about how to figure out what to do with your life.
这个视频主要讲述了如何确定自己的人生方向（即应该如何安排自己的生活）。
This is a question I get all the time when I do talks and when I have conversations with friends.
这是一个我在进行演讲或与朋友交谈时经常被问到的问题。
And so for whatever it's worth, this
所以，不管这有什么价值，这就是……
is my three part method that I hope you can follow to help you figure out what to do with your life.
这是我提出的三步法，希望你们能够按照这个方法来帮助自己确定该如何规划自己的生活。
So when I'm exploring this question with people of what to do with your life, there's a few different directions that we can take.
因此，当我与人们探讨“应该如何度过自己的人生”这个问题时，我们可以从几个不同的角度入手进行分析。
But one of the most useful ones is to start by actually just defining what are your different life areas that you care about.
但其中最有用的一种方法就是：首先明确你关心的那些不同生活领域究竟是什么。
So for example, work is a big category of life area.
例如，工作是生活领域中的一个重要组成部分。
We've got health.
我们拥有健康。
We've got marriage.
我们有婚姻这一制度。
We might have kids.
我们可能会要孩子。
We might have hobbies.
我们可能有一些爱好。
We might have growth.
我们可能会实现增长。
If you're one of those people that want to build a side business, then maybe we have an area called a side business.
如果你属于那些想要开展副业的人，那么我们可能有一个专门针对副业的板块或服务。
Maybe we have an area called home.
也许我们有一个被称作“家”的地方。
Like, step one is to define what are the life areas that you care about, right?
第一步就是明确自己关心的生活领域，对吧？
Because when you ask this question of what do I want to do with my life?
因为当你问自己“我想如何度过我的人生”这个问题时……
Life as a whole, that's like a freaking, you know, very vague, enormous question of like, what to do with my life.
整个人生，其实就是一个极其模糊、却又极其重要的问题：我该如何度过自己的生命？
And it's not very specific.
而且这个描述并不是非常具体（或者说缺乏详细性）。
And when I speak to people who have this question, what do I want to do with my life?
当我与那些有这样的疑问（“我想如何度过自己的人生？”）的人交谈时，我真正想表达的是什么呢？
Often what they're really asking is, how do I find work I love that makes a lot of money and is also really fun?
他们真正想问的是：如何找到一份自己热爱的工作，这份工作不仅能带来丰厚的收入，还能让我感到非常愉快？
And they often have a question around if they're not yet married, do I want to get married,
他们经常会有这样的疑问：如果自己还没有结婚的话，自己是否真的想结婚呢？
I have kids, you know, that whole bundle of stuff.
我有孩子，你知道的，就是那一大堆责任和麻烦事。
Those tend to be the two primary domains where people have uncertainty about this sort of question.
这两个领域通常是人们在面对这类问题时感到最不确定的方面。
But even just doing that, even just defining these life areas gives you a little bit more clarity, right?
但即使只是做这件事，哪怕只是明确这些“生活领域”的定义，也能让你对情况有更清晰的认识，对吧？
Because you can then answer for yourself by when you stay up and I think, I don't know what to do in my life.
因为这样你就可以自己回答“我为什么熬夜不睡”这个问题了。而且我觉得……我不知道自己的人生该何去何从。
Do you really just mean, I don't know how to find work I love?
你真正想表达的意思是：我不知道该如何找到自己热爱的工作吗？
Because that is a much easier question to answer than, I don't know what to do with my life.
因为这个问题比“我不知道该如何安排自己的生活”要容易回答得多。
Or do you really mean, man, I don't know if I want to take dating seriously,
还是说你真的想表达的是：“我不知道自己是否应该认真对待约会这件事……
I don't know if I want to get married and have kids, I don't know if I want to pursue career,
我不知道自己是否想结婚生子，也不清楚是否想继续追求自己的事业。
because then the family's like, is that what you mean?
因为那样的话，家人就会问：“你的意思就是这个吗？
Or is there something even broader?
或者，还有某种更广泛、更根本的因素在起作用呢？
So step one is we sort of break life down into these different areas.
第一步就是将生活划分为不同的领域。
And then step two is that for each of these different areas, and you can define your own areas however you want,
然后是第二步：对于每一个不同的领域（你可以根据自己的需要自行定义这些领域），
for each of these areas, we want to create a sense of like, long term,
对于这些领域中的每一个，我们都希望营造出一种长期发展的氛围（或者说，希望这些领域能够实现长期、稳定的发展）。
what sort of thing do I want, and what sort of thing do I not want?
我想要什么样的东西？又有哪些东西是我不想要的？
So let's start with an easy one.
那么，我们从一个简单的问题开始吧。
Let's start with the area of health.
让我们从健康领域开始吧。
If you ask yourself, like, okay, in the area of health, what would success look like for me over the long term?
如果你问自己：“在健康领域，从长远来看，对我来说，成功到底意味着什么？
If I imagine like a few decades from now, well, for me, I can tell you that in the area of health,
如果我想象几十年后的情景，那么在健康领域，我可以告诉你们……
I'd like to be in really good shape, I'd like to have enough muscle,
我希望自己的身体状况非常好，也希望拥有足够的肌肉。
