Your purpose is the reason you're here on Earth.

你的目的就是你來到地球的原因。

So it's an incredibly important thing to figure out, because it's the thing that guides you.

是以，弄清楚這一點非常重要，因為它是指導你的東西。

And so today I'm going to talk about how to discover your purpose according to the philosophy of Carl Jung.

所以，今天我要談談如何根據榮格的哲學思想來發現你的目標。

While writing what is now widely considered his central work, the Red Book, Jung discovered the purpose of his own life.

榮格在撰寫現在被廣泛認為是其核心作品的《紅皮書》時，發現了自己的人生目標。

But he didn't just discover the purpose of his own life, he also discovered where purpose comes from for all of us.

但他不僅發現了自己的人生目標，還發現了我們所有人的人生目標的來源。

And based on my understanding of the Red Book, Jung says that your purpose is found in performing voluntary self-sacrifice.

根據我對《紅皮書》的理解，榮格說，你的目的是通過自願的自我犧牲來實現的。

What would you willingly sacrifice yourself for?

This means that your purpose isn't found in money, cars, clothes, status, or any other self-serving pleasure.

這意味著，你的目的不在於金錢、汽車、衣服、地位或任何其他自我滿足的享樂。

But rather, your purpose is found in the thing that you would willingly suffer for.

相反，你的目標在於你心甘情願為之受苦的事情。

Your purpose lies in serving something that you deem as greater and more valuable than your own existence.

你的目的在於為你認為比自己的存在更偉大、更有價值的東西服務。

But what if you can't find anything greater or more valuable than your own existence?

但如果你找不到比自己的存在更偉大或更有價值的東西呢？

Then you'll experience life as meaningless and empty.

這樣，你就會覺得生活毫無意義、空洞無物。

A modern proverb states that life only promises us two things, death and taxes.

有一句現代諺語說，生命只向我們承諾兩件事：死亡和稅收。

It means that life demands a sacrifice from us all.

這意味著生活要求我們所有人都做出犧牲。

Death and taxes are both a form of self-sacrifice.

死亡和稅收都是一種自我犧牲。

All life is born to be sacrificed in some way.

所有生命的誕生都是為了以某種方式犧牲。

We're not getting out of this thing called life without sacrificing ourselves in some way.

如果不以某種方式犧牲自己，我們就無法擺脫這種叫做生活的東西。

Even the food that we eat is, in some way, sacrificed for our own continued existence.

即使是我們吃的食物，在某種程度上也是為了我們的生存而犧牲的。

And so if you have nothing greater than yourself to sacrifice your time and energy for, you end up investing all your life force into yourself.

是以，如果你沒有比自己更偉大的東西來犧牲自己的時間和精力，你最終就會把所有的生命力都投入到自己身上。

But since you eventually have to be sacrificed, all the energy that you invest in yourself essentially just goes to waste.

但是，既然你最終必須被犧牲，那麼你在自己身上投入的所有精力基本上都會付諸東流。

And so if all your energy is just going to be wasted, that makes your life meaningless.

是以，如果你所有的精力都被浪費掉，那你的人生也就失去了意義。

Without a north star or purpose outside of yourself, your life just becomes empty and meaningless suffering.

沒有自己以外的北極星或目標，你的生活就會變得空虛而無意義。

But if you find something worth sacrificing yourself for, worth serving and dedicating your life to, then your suffering becomes meaningful.

但是，如果你找到了值得為之犧牲、值得為之服務、值得為之奉獻一生的東西，那麼你的痛苦就變得有意義了。

And when your suffering becomes meaningful, in some way, as both Friedrich Nietzsche and Viktor Frankl have noted, it ceases to be suffering.

正如弗里德里希-尼采和維克多-弗蘭克爾所指出的那樣，當你的痛苦在某種程度上變得有意義時，它就不再是痛苦了。

And you know this idea is true when you see it.

當你看到它時，你就會知道這個想法是正確的。

If you see someone willing to sacrifice themselves for something greater than themselves, you tend to think that that person has found their purpose.

如果你看到有人願意為比自己更偉大的事情犧牲自己，你往往會認為這個人已經找到了自己的目標。

When Socrates was imprisoned by his people, he had a chance to run and escape.

當蘇格拉底被他的人民囚禁時，他有機會逃跑。

But he willingly sacrificed himself for the principles of truth, justice, and honor.

但為了真理、正義和榮譽的原則，他甘願犧牲自己。

By sacrificing his own life, he believed that he was doing what was necessary to serve his city, Athens.

通過犧牲自己的生命，他相信自己所做的一切都是為了服務他的城市--雅典。

Jesus willingly sacrificed himself for the good of humanity.

為了人類的利益，耶穌甘願犧牲自己。

And Cato, who in some ways can be thought of as the Roman Socrates, sacrificed his life as a final resistance against Caesar's rule, because he refused to serve under someone he viewed as a tyrant.

卡託在某種程度上可以被視為羅馬的蘇格拉底，他犧牲了自己的生命，作為對凱撒統治的最後反抗，因為他拒絕在他認為是暴君的人手下服役。

He sacrificed himself for the principles of liberty and freedom.

他為自由和自由的原則犧牲了自己。

And regardless of what you think of these three names, there's one thing that you can't deny.

無論你對這三個名字有什麼看法，有一點是你無法否認的。

And the reason you know that is because they all found something more important than themselves that they thought it was worth sacrificing their own lives for.

你之所以知道這一點，是因為他們都找到了比自己更重要的東西，認為值得為之犧牲生命。

But we don't need to go to big historic examples to find people who found something worth sacrificing themselves for.

但是，我們不需要去尋找歷史上的偉大事例，就能找到值得為之犧牲的人。

There are mothers who sacrifice themselves for their children, missionaries for their church, cops for justice, activists for equality, and soldiers for freedom.

有為孩子犧牲的母親，有為教會犧牲的傳教士，有為正義犧牲的警察，有為平等犧牲的活動家，也有為自由犧牲的戰士。

Every day, people find something worth sacrificing themselves for, and by doing so, they discover their own purpose.

每天，人們都在尋找值得為之犧牲的東西，通過這樣做，他們發現了自己的目標。

So what does it look like to implement Carl Jung's wisdom of voluntary self-sacrifice into our own lives?

那麼，將榮格的 "自願自我犧牲 "智慧應用到我們的生活中會是什麼樣子呢？

We can take it day by day and dedicate ourselves to the service of others in a way we would be willing to do.

我們可以日復一日，以自己願意的方式為他人服務。

We can serve others in a way that we would want to serve them, in a way that we would be happy to wake up each day and do.

我們可以以自己願意為他人服務的方式為他人服務，以自己每天醒來都樂意去做的方式為他人服務。

We can create something that we would be willing to completely sacrifice ourselves for, because eventually, we will be forced to.

我們可以創造一些我們願意為之完全犧牲自己的東西，因為最終我們會被迫這樣做。

這就是生活對我們所有人的要求。

But if you don't discover your purpose, your life becomes a forced sacrifice.

但是，如果你沒有發現自己的目標，你的生活就會變成被迫的犧牲。

And a forced sacrifice is felt as tyrannical and oppressive.

而強迫犧牲則會讓人感到暴虐和壓迫。

You'll start to experience life as a great evil.

你會開始體驗到人生是一場大惡。

But if you discover your purpose, your life becomes a voluntary sacrifice.

但是，如果你發現了自己的目標，你的生命就會成為一種自願的犧牲。

And a voluntary sacrifice, such as that of a mother for her child, is felt as incredibly meaningful.

而自願的犧牲，比如母親為自己的孩子所做的犧牲，會讓人覺得意義非凡。

And so if you discover your purpose, you'll experience life as incredibly meaningful and good.

是以，如果你發現了自己的目標，你就會體驗到生活的無比意義和美好。

So we come back to the original question.

那麼，我們回到最初的問題上來。
