Inspiration
灵感
By Steve Pavlina
Ask yourself, “What is the inspiration of this moment? What am I inspired to do now? What is the next wave of energy?”
问一下自己：“此时此刻你有什么灵感？你的灵感激发你下一步要做什么？下一波的能量是什么？”问一下自己：“此时此刻你有什么灵感？你的灵感激发你下一步要做什么？下一波的能量是什么？”
Pause and listen for a moment, but not with your ears. Listen like a radio antenna listens for a radio signal. When you catch the edge of the signal, tune into its frequency. Let it become stronger, louder, clearer, just as you might manually tune an analog radio dial.
停下来倾听片刻，但不是用耳朵来听，要像收音机天线接收无线电信号一样来倾听。当你捕捉到某个信号的边缘的时候，微调到那个频率，让这个信号变得更强、更大、更清晰，就像你会手动的调整频率旋钮一样。
Recognize that you’re an analog being too. You don’t simply press a button and lock into inspiration immediately. You have to tune into the signal.
把自己也当做一个接收灵感的收音机，你不能简单的按一下按钮然后就能立刻锁定到一个灵感，你需要微调到那个信号频率上。
You may perceive multiple signals vying for your attention. Feel free to float the dial to listen to one for a bit, then another. Pick your favorite just as you’d pick a radio station. You may like several different stations, but it only makes sense to listen to one at a time. Setting your dial between two different stations would only give you static. You can always listen to different stations later.
你可能接收到多个灵感信号，这些信号彼此一起争夺你的注意力，这时你可以自由地调整频率旋钮，每个信号都听一小会儿，然后就像选择无线电台一样选择一个自己最喜欢的灵感。你可能会喜欢多个不同的电台，但是一次只听一个电台才有意义。如果将你的频率旋钮调整到两个电台频率的中间位置，那只会给你带来静电干扰。你总可以随后再听其他不同的电台。
As you begin to sense a stronger lock, let the signal’s energy flow through you. Let it create oscillations in your mind, your heart, your body. Let it infect you completely. Enjoy the feeling. Recognize how easy it is.
当你开始感受到一个很强的灵感信号时，让这个信号的能量穿透你的身体，从而让它在你的大脑里、心房里、身体里产生震荡，让它彻彻底底地与你产生共鸣，然后去享受那种共鸣的感受。有过这种经历之后，你会意识到这真的很容易。
Then when you feel the energy is strong enough, let that signal animate you. Let it flow into easy, effortless, energized action.
随后当你感觉能量已经足够强的时候，让那个灵感信号激活你自己，让它给你带来舒适的、毫不费力的、精力充沛的切实行动。
Ride the inspiration like a surfer rides a wave. There’s no need to paddle. The wave will carry you all the way to the shore.
像一个冲浪运动员冲浪一样驾驭那个灵感信号，你根本就不需要自己去费力划桨，因为灵感信号会像海浪一样将你带往岸边。
You may find yourself flowing into action for many hours at a stretch. Time will pass, but you’ll scarcely be aware of its passing. You’ll be too mesmerized by timelessness to notice the clock. Stay with the signal as long as you can, till your batteries run low and you must disconnect to recharge.
你可能会发现你会一口气工作好几个小时，时间慢慢流逝而你却丝毫感觉不到时间的流逝，因为你太沉迷于灵感给你带来的行动而不会去注意时间。保持这种状态尽可能长的时间，直到你的能量电池没电了必须断开与灵感信号的连接去充电。
These signals are always broadcasting 24/7. Perhaps they come from the collective consciousness of humanity. Perhaps they come from somewhere else.
这些信号总是24小时全天候传播的，或许它们来自人类的集体意识，或许来自其它的地方。
If you learn to tune into these signals and ride their waves of energy, you’ll never run out of inspiration. You’ll never be at a loss for what to do next. You’ll never suffer from writer’s block.
如果你学会了调向这些信号的频率上，驾驭在它们的能量波上，那么你将永远不会缺乏灵感，不会迷茫于下面要做什么，不会再文思枯竭。
Unless you forget how to use your radio, that is.
除非你忘记了如何使用你的收音机。
But who forgets a thing like that?
不过谁会忘记这样的事情呢？
