I am a purported expert in change and personal growth; that's the work I do with patients, and what I lecture and write about. I say that growth has nothing to do with adding on; it's always about letting go. Alas, it's always easier to tell others how to welcome shedding their skins than it is for me to do it myself. Letting go of the old and familiar is a necessary prerequisite for growth, but it's hard to do because no matter how much we may know, we have to move on. It always makes us feel vulnerable, which can inspire fear.
我自称是变革与个人成长方面的专家;这就是我与患者打交道的工作内容,也是我授课和写作的主题。我说成长与增添无关;它始终关乎放手。唉,告诉别人如何欣然蜕去旧我远比我自己做到要容易得多。放下陈旧与熟悉的事物是成长的必要前提,但这很难做到,因为无论我们懂得多少,都必须继续前行。这总会让我们感到脆弱,进而引发恐惧。
