Alternative Centers 各種中心
人人都有生活中心庶骄，它們對生活各方面都有很強烈的影響囊嘉。
Spouse Centeredness配偶中心比如有的人生活以配偶為中心脾还，咋聽起來，無可厚非，配偶畢竟是我們生活中最親密的伴侶盏道。但是以配偶為重心的婚姻關(guān)系，多半發(fā)生情感過度依賴的問題互艾。太過于重視婚姻试和，會使人的情感異常脆弱，經(jīng)不起些許打擊纫普，甚至無法面對如新生兒降臨或經(jīng)濟(jì)窘迫等變化阅悍。婚姻會帶來更多的責(zé)任與壓力昨稼，兩個背景不同的人节视，思想必定有差異，于是乎理財假栓、教養(yǎng)子女等等問題寻行，都會引起爭執(zhí)。如果我們一方面在情感上依賴對方匾荆，一方面又與對方在觀念上有所突擊寡痰，就極易陷入愛恨交織、進(jìn)退兩難的矛盾中棋凳。
Family Centeredness家庭中心以家庭為重的現(xiàn)象也十分普遍拦坠，而且似乎理所當(dāng)然。但是過分注重家庭生活剩岳，反而對家庭有害贞滨。太仰賴家庭提供安全感及價值感，太重視家族傳統(tǒng)與名譽拍棕，通常無法接受任何可能影響這些傳統(tǒng)與聲譽的改變晓铆。以家庭為重的父母，不能為子女的真正幸福著想绰播，他們的愛往往是有條件的骄噪。
另外還有Money Centeredness（以金錢為中心）,Work Centeredness（以工作為中心）,Possession Centeredness（以名利為中心）,Pleasure Centeredness（以享樂為中心）,Friend/Enemy Centeredness（以敵人或朋友為中心）,Church Centeredness（以宗教為中心）Self-Centeredness（以自我為中心）。
那么什么是你的生活中心?有時并不容易回答蠢箩。般說來链蕊，我們的生活中心是以上某幾種中心的混合體，依環(huán)境不同而有所變化谬泌。大多數(shù)人的生
活受到多種因素的影響滔韵。生活中心如此搖擺不定，情緒上難免起起落落掌实，沒有確定的生活中心陪蜻，就容易缺乏一種安全感，沒有了安全感Security贱鼻，那么對自己的生活就沒有一個明確的人生方向Guidance宴卖，隨之而來的智慧Wisdom和力量Power及無從而來滋将，進(jìn)而影響區(qū)就會縮小，更容易被外在環(huán)境所左右影響症昏。
A Principle Center以原則為中心
如果以正確原則作為生活中心耕渴，那么就可以為四個支撐人生的因素建立一個堅實的基礎(chǔ)。認(rèn)識到這一點齿兔，我們就有了安全感橱脸。Our security comes from knowing that correct principles do not change.。原則是恒久不變的分苇，所以值得信賴添诉，可以給我們高度的安全感。原則是理性而非感性的医寿，因此能讓我們充滿信心栏赴，配偶和密友都可能離我們而去，但原則不會靖秩。原則不取決于環(huán)境须眷、他人行為或“流行”。原則是永生的沟突，不會毀于火災(zāi)花颗、地震或偷盜，也不會今天在這兒惠拭，明天又到了那兒扩劝。
Principles are deep ,fundamental truths,classic truths,generic common denominators.They are tightly interwoven threads running with exactness,consistency,beauty,and strength through the fabric of life.
如果以原則為生活中心，智慧和人生方向的來源就是正確的地圖职辅，The wisdom and guidance come from correct maps.反映事物的真實現(xiàn)狀棒呛。正確的地圖讓我們能夠清晰了解自己的目標(biāo)，能夠基于正確的知識做出正確的決定域携。The?power?comes from a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual.
以永恒不變的原則作為生活中心簇秒，就能建立高效能的思維定式，也就能正確審視所有其他的生活中心秀鞭。
以原則為中心的人會保持冷靜和客觀趋观，不受情緒或其他因素的干擾，綜觀全局——工作需要气筋、家庭需要拆内、以及其他相關(guān)需要及不同決定的可能后果，深思熟慮宠默，綜合考慮后才做出正確的選擇。
As a principle-centered person,you try tostand apart fromthe emotion of the situation and other factors that would act on you,and evaluate the options.Looking at the?balanced whole,teh work nees,teh family needs,other needs that may be involved and the possible implications of various alternative decisions----you'll try to come up with the best solution,taking all factors into consideration.
