As I began to love myself

I found that anguish and emotional suffering

are only warning signs

that I was living against my own truth.

當(dāng)我真正開始愛自己，

我才認(rèn)識到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨，

都只是提醒我：

活著，不要違背自己的本心。

Today, I know, this is

"AUTHENTICITY".

今天我明白了，這叫做

『真實(shí)』

As I began to love myself

I understood how much it can offend somebody

as I try to force my desires on this person,

even though I knew the time was not right

and the person was not ready for it,

and even though this person was me.

當(dāng)我真正開始愛自己

我才懂得，把自己的愿望強(qiáng)加于人

是多么的無禮，就算我知道，時(shí)機(jī)并不成熟

那人也還沒有做好準(zhǔn)備

就算那個(gè)人就是我自己

Today I call it

"RESPECT".

今天我明白了，這叫做

『尊重』

As I began to love myself

I stopped craving for a different life,

and I could see that everything

that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.

當(dāng)我開始愛自己

我不再渴求不同的人生

我知道任何發(fā)生在我身邊的事情

都是對我成長的邀請

Today I call it

"MATURITY".

如今，我稱之為

『成熟』

As I began to love myself

I understood that at any circumstance,

I am in the right place at the right time,

and everything happens

at the exactly right moment,

so I could be calm.

當(dāng)我開始真正愛自己

我才明白，我其實(shí)一直都在正確的時(shí)間

正確的地方，發(fā)生的一切都恰如其分

由此我得以平靜

Today I call it

"SELF-CONFIDENCE".

今天我明白了，這叫做

『自信』

As I began to love myself

I quit steeling my own time,

and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.

Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,

things I love to do

and that make my heart cheer,

and I do them in my own way

and in my own rhythm.

當(dāng)我開始真正愛自己

我不再犧牲自己的自由時(shí)間

不再去勾畫什么宏偉的明天

今天我只做有趣和快樂的事

做自己熱愛，讓心歡喜的事

用我的方式，以我的韻律

Today I call it

"HONESTY".

今天我明白了，這叫作

『單純』

As I began to love myself

I freed myself of anything

that is no good for my health –

food, people, things, situations,

當(dāng)我開始真正愛自己

我開始遠(yuǎn)離一切不健康的東西

不論是飲食和人物，還是事情和環(huán)境

and everything that drew me down and away from myself.

At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.

我遠(yuǎn)離一切讓我遠(yuǎn)離本真的東西

從前我把這叫做“追求健康的自私自利”

Today I know it is

"LOVE OF ONESELF".

但今天我明白了

這是

『自愛』

As I began to love myself

I quit trying to always be right,

and ever since I was wrong less of the time.

當(dāng)我開始真正愛自己，

我不再總想著要永遠(yuǎn)正確，不犯錯(cuò)誤。

Today I discovered that is

"MODESTY".

我今天明白了，這叫做

『謙遜』
