STEP 2: Draw a line connecting your before and after statements.

To answer your question, let’s go to step four…
为了回答你的问题，我们来看第四步…

STEP 4: Do it!

STEP 5: Be 100% accountable for YOUR actions.
第五步：对“你的”行动负全责。

“But… but… it’s difficult.”
“但是…但是…太难了。”

“But… but… I don’t know how.”
“但是…但是…我不知道怎么做。”

Yes, excuses will ALWAYS be your shortcut to your comfort zone.
是的，借口永远是通往舒适区的捷径。

Every time you find yourself complaining about your current lack of “success” in life… go back to your worksheet and revisit step three and four.
每次你抱怨生活中缺乏“成功”时，回头看看你的任务表，重新审视第三步和第四步。

STEP 6: Repeat indefinitely until goal is achieved.
第六步：无限重复直到目标达成。

Never forget this:
永远不要忘了：

Who you BECOME tomorrow starts with what you DO today.
你今天的行动成就明天的自己。
