Seven ways to find out what you really want in life
Be good to yourself
You can’t pinpoint(准确指出) exactly what you want in life .You’re constantly sacrificing your time and dreams for other people. Ask yourself: if you weren’t tied down by your job, family, or anything else, then what would you be doing right now?
Regret nothing
To be good to yourself is not selfish. It’s your life. It’s time for you to live it exactly the way you want to. If you constantly regret things you did or didn’t do in the past, then you won’t be able to move forward.
Figure out what you need
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out what you need. Sit down and think about what you need most. The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else? If it helps, you can make a list. Also think about the kind of legacy(遗产) you want to leave behind.

You can fly only by pushing back against something you don’t want. Figure out what upsets you, and be specific about it. Don’t just say that you hate your office job. Pinpoint exactly why you hate it. Could it be your strict boss? Your workload? Your meaningless job title? Or all of the above?
Determine what makes you truly happy
There’s no life to waste if you’re happy with living it. Think about what makes you happy. Being around children? Is it traveling? Owning a successful business? Financial freedom?
Let people around you know what you’re trying to achieve
Don’t keep your goals and desires to yourself. Voice it all out! If you tell people what you’re trying to accomplish, they will most likely support you and give you new ideas. Sometimes mother does know best!
Stay positive
Life doesn’t always go how you want it. Don’t feel discouraged as your plans stray(偏离). Take control. Instead of being anxious, try your best to advance with the changes. You will get there someday. You’re just taking a little detour.

A．Don’t live in the past but live in the present!

B．Sometimes a positive attitude is all you need to keep going.

C．Determine what really bothers you.

D．Once you pinpoint the one thing that makes you happy the most, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what you should struggle hard to get in your life.

E. You have to put yourself first, because if you don’t, then no one else will.
F. Determine what you are going to do next.
G. You should think of things positively.

Brown fat burns energy, helps us lose weight. White fat stores extra energy, which results weight gain. The researchers said that because air conditioning and heating give us constant, (comfort) temperatures, our body’s need for brown fat has decreased. They found that outdoor workers in northern Finland who (expose) to cold temperature have significant amount of brown fat when (compare) to same-aged indoor workers.
The research was conducted on two different control groups of mice. group was injected with the protein that helps create brown fat. This group later gained 30% less weight after both groups were fed high-fat diets. The researchers say this could be good news in the fight against obesity. People who are obese have （low) levels of brown fat than thinner people. If you can somehow increase levels of this protein, you could (possible) lose more weight even if eating the same amount of food.
