Topics
Dr. Laura: 我认为“生与死之间”这个说法能让人更清楚地认识到时间有限,从而开始反思自己的人生。我们常常忘记生命是有限的,这个说法能帮助我们停下来思考。我希望听众能认真思考,在有限的时间里,自己究竟想要什么,并为之努力。 Doreen: 听了Dr. Laura的节目后,我开始认真思考自己想要的生活。我意识到我害怕独自生活,但我更渴望拥有一个真正属于自己的、充实的生活。最终,我搬到了一个55岁以上的社区,在那里我结交了新朋友,参加了喜欢的活动,并且离我的家人也很近。现在,我享受着我的生活。 Melody: Dr. Laura的“生与死之间”这句话深深地触动了我,帮助我克服了长期的体重问题。我加入了减肥俱乐部,并告诉自己,我不希望在“生与死之间”继续这样下去,我要为我想要的生活而努力。我把这句话分享给俱乐部里的其他人,也激励了他们。 Maggie: 我一直在犹豫是否要结束一段没有爱情的婚姻。Dr. Laura问我,是否愿意和把我当成兄妹的人共度余生。我意识到我并不愿意。Dr. Laura建议我,如果我渴望找到一个深爱我、充满激情的人,我就必须离开这段婚姻。这让我做出了离开的决定,去寻找我真正想要的爱情。 Jane: 我一直在一段缺乏感情的恋爱关系中挣扎。Dr. Laura问我,是否愿意在“生与死之间”都得不到爱人的关怀。我意识到我不能接受这样的生活。Dr. Laura建议我诚实地告诉对方我的需求,并寻找一个更爱亲吻拥抱的伴侣。我决定听从她的建议,去寻找一个更适合我的人。 Teresa: 我一直在犹豫是否要冒险改变我的职业方向,因为我已经快65岁了。Dr. Laura问我,如果我尝试了但失败了,我是否还能回到原来的工作。在得到肯定的答复后,Dr. Laura鼓励我去尝试,她说,在“生与死之间”,来一场冒险是多么令人兴奋的事情。我决定勇敢地追求我的梦想。

Shownotes Transcript

Any given day on my SiriusXM radio program, you’re likely to hear me ask a caller, “Is this how you want your life to go ‘between now and dead?’” It’s probably my favorite “Dr. Laura-ism” because it really puts life into perspective, don’t you think?
