We all know the feeling when we first feel that spark of a fiery dream inside our souls. It completely takes over your life and opens up your eyes to new horizons beyond your imagination - but what happens when you start to feel that fire dying out? What happens when you start to feel another one sparking? Do you ignore the call and frustrate your soul, or do you choose to be brave and let the new dream in?
Honing your dream to perfection leads to disappointment
完美化你的梦想会导致失落Losing a dream is never easy, you pour your heart and soul out into it, honing it to perfection and to the idea you had in mind. It is no wonder that when it dissipates or completely disappears that you find yourself facing the different stages of loss: denial, anger, depression, bargaining and eventually acceptance (or in my case going through all these stages a few times around). However - despite what society might want you to believe - there is absolutely nothing wrong with a dream that changes.
放弃梦想从不简单，你为它倾注了全部的心血，想让它趋于完美，成为你心中所想的样子。当梦想渐渐消逝或者毫无踪影时，无疑你将会发现自己面临放弃的不同阶段：否认，愤怒，沮丧，讨价还价，到最终妥协（或者像我，三番五次经历所有这些阶段）。然而，不管社会想让你相信什么，改变梦想是无可非议的。
Do not fret over lost time
不要苦恼逝去的光阴If your dream came true, that's great. If it didn't and you still feel yourself jumping up and down with excitement by the thought of it, go for it! But if you are like me and you have slowly felt it moving into a new direction, don't fret over the time you spent on your old dream - it made you stronger and wiser. It shaped you into the person you are at this moment. And it is to you that I am talking to today.
如果你实现了梦想，那再好不过了；如果没有，但当你想到它时，心仍会激动得上蹿下跳，那么就去放手追逐吧！但如果你像我一样，慢慢感受到了新梦想的呼唤，那么就不要苦恼那些因追逐旧梦想而逝去的光阴，它会让你变得更强大、更有智慧。它塑造了当下的你，而我正是在与当下的你对话。Loss is a part of life
失去是生活中不可或缺的部分Let's be frank: it is not an easy task losing something that was once the center of your universe - the thing you based all your decision on. However, it is possible to move on - but you have to be willing to accept the loss, the fear of rejection by others, and most importantly, the fear of change. First of all, we have to remember that loss is a part of life. It will always be there and the sooner we learn to deal with it, the stronger and the more resilient we will be able to be, perhaps even inspiring others in the process too.
开诚布公的说：放弃一件曾是你世界中心的事情绝不容易，那件事情曾是你所有决定的基础。然而，事情仍是有可能继续往下进行的，但是你必须甘愿接受损失，接受对被拒绝的恐惧，最重要的是，接受对变化的恐惧。首先，我们要铭记失去也是生活的一部分。它总是在那里，我们越快学会如何处理它，我们就能够变得越强大，适应力也会越强，我们可能甚至会去激励这个过程中的其他人。
