I took the courage to come and to tell you,

don't take for granted any belief or dogma.

不要輕易相信別人給你們的信仰或教條

to take you away

牽著走

from what you really want to become.

而變成你不想成為的自己。

Today, actually I would like to share my story with you.

事實上，今天，我想和各位分享我的故事

In 2011,

2011年

I felt I had to change something in my life

覺得我應該對我的生活做些改變

to feel complete.

進而使生活感到圓滿

I was reading the book,

當時我正在閱讀

"The Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield,

由詹姆士‧雷德非所寫的聖境預言書

and I was blown away by the last insight

我對於最後一個章節感到大為驚訝

revealing that,

那個章節說

"We are on this planet to consciously evolve,

我們在這個星球上，是要有意識地進化。

and if we do learn to evolve and follow our path,

如果我們學會走自己的路，進化成更高級的個體，

our culture will change in a predictable way.

我們的文明將有可預期的發展。

Many of us will discover

我們許多人會察覺，

that we are not doing the job that we are meant for,

我們並不是做自己本來該做的工作，

and that we have to change job

所以我們要換工作

to continue to evolve."

才能持續地走向更高的境界

Believe me or not,

不管你相不相信

but I was reading this

當時我正在閱讀這本書

when on the following day I was going to resign.

隔天我就辭職了

A synchronicity that gave me a boost

那種渾然天成的感覺給了我激勵

to quit without thinking about the future.

讓我不顧一切地辭去工作

But then I started to think and I panicked.

但後來，我開始感到恐慌

I had no other job, no business plan,

我沒有其他的工作，也沒有任何計畫

I had no unemployment benefits and no savings.

我也沒有失業補助金或是存款

People were hoping that at least I had a husband,

人們說：至少你還有個老公

but not even that, I was home alone.

但沒有，我一個人，孤家寡人的在家

Through that experience,

透過這個體驗

I understood that courage is not the absence of fear,

我了解沒有恐懼不代表有勇氣

but the will to go on,

有勇氣是有一個意願繼續下去

no matter what stands on your way.

不管任何事情阻礙了你

My change was possible,

我的改變都有可能

because I didn't focus on what can go wrong.

因為我並沒有專注在出錯的地方

I focused on what I really want, and it worked.

我專注在我真正想達成的境地，並且努力實踐

People usually believe

that if they start doing what they like to do,

如果他們開始從事真正想做的事情

they will not earn enough money to go on living.

他們會沒錢過活

In fact, most of us work for money

是阿，大部分的我們都是為了錢而工作

and we forget about our passion.

而我們忘了我們內在的熱情

But do you realize that our economic system

但你可曾想過我們的經濟體制

is virtual and it doesn't work.

其實是個虛擬物，而且也不會運作

What it does, it concentrates wealth and it distributes poverty.

他讓富人更有錢，窮人更窮

And it will come to crash sooner than we can imagine.

不久後，我們可以想像，它就會瓦解，

It will collapse.

它會徹底崩壞

It did happen in the past, but we haven't learnt from it.

這個情況確實發生過，但我們卻從未從中學取教訓

Exactly, if money...

事實上，如果錢

Let me ask you this,

讓我問你

if money didn't exist what would you do?

如果今天世界上不存在錢，你要怎麼辦？

What is your passion?

你的熱情是什麼？

When I made my shift,

I started to meet many people who did the same.
