Translation

Feelings aren't optional.
感情は任意のものではありません。
You don't get to decide if you have them or not.
感じるかどうかを自分で決めることはできません。
Everybody has them.
誰もが持っています。
So the question then becomes, what do we do with them?
だから問題は、それらをどうするかということです。
Either you can go down the road of thinking, okay, this is information.
「よし、これは情報だ」と考える道を選ぶこともできます。
What's it telling me?
それは何を伝えているのか？
How do I use it to make my life better?
それをどう使って人生をより良くするのか？
Or you can go down the road of how do I get rid of these, especially the uncomfortable ones.
あるいは、特に不快なものをどうやって取り除くかという道を選ぶこともできます。
Getting rid of uncomfortable emotions is a workout.
不快な感情を取り除くことはトレーニングのようなものです。
It requires constant effort.
絶え間ない努力が必要です。
It's not like they just go away.
ただ消えてなくなるようなものではないのです。
You're actually putting energy into keeping them at bay.
実際にそれらを抑え込むためにエネルギーを使っているのです。
And the way I like to think about it is, well, that's a real drain on your system.
私が考えるには、それは体にとって本当に消耗になるということです。
Not only are you not getting the benefit of all that information that comes with knowing your feelings, you're also having to do the workout of like keeping your shoulder against the door that keeps all of those feelings away.
自分の感情を知ることで得られる情報という恩恵を受けられないだけでなく、それらの感情を遠ざける扉に肩を押し当て続けるような努力もしなければならないのです。
Eventually, they find a way out, or you just become exhausted and become overwhelmed by them.
やがてそれらは出口を見つけるか、あなたはただ疲れ果ててそれらに圧倒されてしまうのです。
So the more that we can turn and face and get to know even the emotions that we're not all that happy to have.
だからこそ、あまり持ちたくない感情でさえも、振り返って向き合い、知ろうとすればするほど。
The smarter we're going to be about ourselves, the smarter we're going to be about our lives, and frankly, the more energy we're going to have for dealing with whatever is in front of us.
自分自身についてより賢くなり、人生についてより賢くなり、そして率直に言って、目の前にあることに向き合うためのエネルギーがより湧いてくるのです。
