Hey, it's Marie Forleo and you are watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business and life you love.

嗨，我是 Marie Forleo，而你正在收看的是 MarieTV，一個讓你可以創造自己想要的事業和生活的地方

If you're afraid that your work lacks deep purpose and doesn't really make a difference in the world, this episode is for you.

如果你擔心你的工作缺乏有意義的目標而且並沒有對這個世界有什麼改變，這部短片是專門為你製作的

Today's question comes from Renee, and Renee writes, "Hi Marie. Thanks for your insights and contributions every Tuesday.

今天的問題來自 Renee，她說：「嗨 Marie，感謝您每週二提供的觀點和貢獻

I've even used your words to encourage my elderly mom. My Q is about my sense of vocational purpose with art.

我甚至曾經用你的話來鼓勵我年長的母親。我今天的問題是關於職業藝術工作的價值

I used to be a chaplain in health care. I loved feeling needed and saw that my services held lifesaving and life altering value.

我曾經是專職於健康照護的牧師。我喜歡被需要的感覺並看到我的服務擁有拯救和改變人生的價值

After changing from chaplaincy to pursue my own business with visual art,

在我離開牧師的工作，轉而追求我自己的視覺藝術事業之後

I'm getting a little bogged down with the realization that my purely aesthetic work won't have lifesaving or life altering value.

我開始感到有點困惑，我發現我單純的美學工作沒有拯救或改變人生的價值

My fear is that my sense of fulfilment won't be as strong or rich as it used to be.

我的恐懼來自於我的自我實現感沒有以前來得強烈了

There's gotta be a better perspective to embrace. Thanks, Renee."

應該有其他更好的想法來看待這件事吧。謝謝妳，Renee。」

Renee, this is such a common struggle that I've heard from thousands of creatives.

Renee，這真的是從事創作型工作的人一個很常見的掙扎

From jewelry designers to painters to singers to actors, dancers, writers, really anyone involved in some aspect of the arts.

從珠寶設計師、畫家、歌手到演員、舞者、作家，真的包括各個領域的藝術工作者

And I've gotta tell you, I've also heard this struggle from people outside of the arts too.

而且我要和你說，我也曾經從不是藝術工作者的人口中聽過這個掙扎

Many of us can feel, gosh, what I do doesn't really make the world a better place, does it?

許多人們會覺得，天啊，我在做的事情並沒有真正讓這個世界變得更好，不是這樣嗎？

Wrong. Listen up here. There are two key points that you really need to hear today.

錯了。聽我說，今天有二個你真的需要聽到的關鍵點

And if you haven't yet seen our other video about the power of valuing what you do right here, it is a must watch after this one.

而如果你還沒看過我們另一個影片，關於衡量你正在做的事情的價值那在你看完這部短片後一定要去看它。

So let's dive in with point number one, which is very specific to you, Renee.

讓我們來看第一點，這點特別適用你，Renee。

Yes! Without a doubt, art does make the world a better place. This is undeniable and indisputable.

沒錯！無疑地，藝術確實讓這個世界變得更美好。這是不可否認而且無庸置疑的

In fact, when I first read your question, my mind started making this big old mondo list of all the ways that art is crucial for improving our world, and here are just 6 of them.

事實上，當我剛開始讀你的問題時，我的大腦就開始列出一份很大的表，裡面是所有藝術可以大大改變世界的方式而下面要提的只是其中的六點

Number one, art sparks meaningful conversation. So whether it's at a dinner party or a fiery issue in the press,

第一，藝術可以開啟一個有意義的談話主題。不論是在晚宴或是高壓環境下處理令人急躁的問題

art sparks discussions that can lead to real social change. That's important.

由藝術開啟的話題可以真正改變社交。這點非常的重要

Number two, art makes us feel stuff.

第二，藝術讓我們感到富足

I mean, art can move us and gives us the feels and that keeps us connected to our humanity, to our souls, and to each other.

我的意思是，藝術可以改變我們並讓我們彼此之間還有和自己的人性與靈魂保持連結

Number three, art brings joy. I mean, have you ever heard a favorite song that just turned our mood around?

第三，藝術帶來愉悅感。我的意思是，你曾經聽過一首你覺得最愛的歌曲，它能夠整個翻轉我們的心情對嗎？

Kinda like this?

就像下面這樣？

Anything that can make people happy on the spot, whether it's a song or a painting or a movie, is vital in this world that is so filled with stress.

任何可以讓人們在有壓力的情況下感到開心的事物，不論是一首歌曲、一幅畫或是一部電影對於這個充滿壓力的世界來說都至關重要

Number four, art gives us a healthy outlet. So the act of making art lets us process and express emotions that, if kept bottled up, can actually harm ourselves or the world.

第四，藝術給我們一個健康的情緒出口。從事藝術創作的行為讓我們處理及表達情緒如果持續壓抑情緒，可能會對自己或是這個世界真正造成傷害

Number five, art fires up our imagination.

第五，藝術激發我們的想像力

You know, it can help us envision different realities and give us ideas for new ways of living.

你知道的，這可以幫助我們想像不同的現實場景並且我們新生活方式的點子

Saw this at the MET. Renaissance wing. How you livin'?

在大都會藝術博物館看過這個。你今天過得如何？

Number six, art inspires activism. You know, it allows us to fall in love with the world around us,

第六，藝術激發行動力。你知道的，它讓我們愛上圍繞著我們的這個世界

with nature, and people, and cultures, and it gets us fired up to protect what we love.

包括大自然、人們以及文化。而這讓我們被激勵去保護我們所愛的人事物

Now, let's move on to point number two which is the thing I really want you to get.

現在，我們回到我真正希望妳能學到的第二點

Making a difference in this world and feeling fulfilled in that way does not have to come directy from your job or your business.

對這世界做出一些改變並因此感到心靈富足並不需要直接來自你的工作或是你的事業

Look, there are very few careers or businesses that are literally lifechanging or life saving, but that doesn't matter because you can do anything.

妳看，很少有職業或是商業行為顯而易見地改變或是拯救人生但那不要緊因為你可以做任何事來改變世界

I mean, you can sell buttons, you can wax eyebrows, you can make bobbleheads, and choose to be a humanitarian, an activist, and a world changer.

我的意思是，你可以賣鈕扣，你可以幫人畫睫毛，你可以做人物公仔並選擇做一個博愛的人

I mean, you can choose to still make a difference to others in all kinds of ways and you can choose to bake in a for-purpose component to any business or career.

一個行動家，一個改變世界的人。我的意思是，你可以選擇以各種不同的方式對待其他人來持續地改變世界而且你可以選擇對任何的事業或職業投入一個目的導向的任務

I mean, this is something that we've done in our company and it's something we strongly encourage you to do in B-School too.

我想說的是，這是我們公司正在做的事情而我們也強烈鼓勵你在到 B-School 裡去做

For example, you can donate your time, your skills, or your money. You can offer pro bono work.

舉例來說，你可以貢獻你的時間，你的技能或是你的金錢。你可以提供免費的慈善服務

You can give away products or offer scholarships or internships.

你可以分送產品或或是提供獎學會或是實習的機會

I mean, you could pledge a portion of your revenue or your profit and you can use your voice to speak up for social issues that you care about.

我的意思是，你可以投入一部分的收入或是利潤然後你可以為你關心的社會議題發聲

And, most of all, if you're doing something you love, which it sounds like you're doing, Renee, you are an example to other people who want to do something that they love, and that is world changing.

而最重要的是，你是正在做你熱愛的事情，聽起來你正在這麼做了，Renee對於那些想做自己熱愛的事情的人而言，你是他們的一個典範，而這就是改變世界啊

I mean, even if you're not doing something that you love that's your dream job, but you bring a sense of joy and reverence and enthusiasm to your work, that is world changing too.

我的意思是，即使你沒有正在做自己熱愛的事情或是夢想中的工作但你把歡樂、尊重和熱情帶到你的工作上

Bottom line is this, and, yes, it's a tweetable.

這也是改變世界的一個方式。看看下面的推特佳句

Your work in this world is as meaningful as you make it.

「你的工作之於這個世界的意義取決於你怎麼執行它」

That was my A to your Q, Renee, I really hope it helps. And now I would love to hear from you.

這是我給妳的答案，Renee。我由衷地希望這樣有幫助到妳。而現在我也想聽聽你們的想法

So we've got a three parter today. First, for all of my artists and my art lovers out there, what are some more ways that art really does help change the world?

我們今天有分成三個部分。首先，請問所有的藝術工作者和愛好者們，藝術還有什麼其他方法可以真正改變這個世界？

Let's create a big, big list, shall we?

讓我們一起列出一份很大很大的清單吧，好嗎？

Second, has a piece of art of any kind ever changed your life? If so, how?

第二，藝術有沒有曾經以某種形式改變了你的生活？如果有，詳細的情況是什麼呢？

And third, how do you bring deeper meaning and purpose to what you do?

第三，針對你正在做的事情，你如何賦予正在做的事情更高的意義和目的？
