Where you focus can hold you back.
你专注的地方会阻碍你前进。
Focusing on the outcome makes the gap between now and the finish line seem larger than it is.
专注于结果会使现在和终点线之间的差距看起来比实际更大。
Yesterday I wanted to go for a long run. That little voice in my head said "Imagine running for 90 minutes. Dude, you didn't sleep well, and that's a lot of effort. Let's save our energy and check Twitter instead."
昨天我想去长跑。我脑海中的那个小声音说：“想象一下跑了90分钟。老兄，你睡得不好，这是很大的努力。让我们节省精力，改为查看推特。”
Taking the first step seems impossible when the gap between now and your desired outcome seems large.
当现在和你期望的结果之间的差距似乎很大时，迈出第一步似乎是不可能的。
Changing your focus changes the size of the gap between now and achievement. When you shrink the gap, doing what you know you want to do becomes easier. I was focused on the gap between now and 90 minutes from now. The gap I needed to focus on was between me putting my shoes on and running to the end of the block.
改变你的关注点会改变现在和成就之间的差距。当你缩小差距时，做你知道你想做的事情就变得容易了。我关注的是现在和90分钟后的差距。我需要关注的差距是我穿上鞋子和跑到街区尽头之间的差距。
This happens with my kids all the time too. They often come home with a boatload of homework that takes them hours. When they focus on the gap between getting home and being done, getting started is hard. "I'll never get all this homework done." When they focus on doing the first exercise, action becomes inevitable.
我的孩子也经常这样。他们回家时常常带着一船作业，要花上几个小时。当他们关注回家和完成任务之间的差距时，开始是很困难的。当他们专注于做第一个练习时，行动就不可避免了。
Don't focus on writing a book. Focus on writing a good sentence.
不要专注于写一本书。专注于写一个好句子。
Don't focus on getting healthy. Focus on cooking a healthy meal tonight.

专注于下一步。
