当我真正开始爱自己
WHEN I
STARTED LOVING MYSELF
查理·卓别林（
Charles
Chaplin
）
当我真正开始爱自己，
我才认识到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨，
都只是提醒我：
活着，不要违背自己的本心。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『真实』。
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.
Today, I know, this is
当我真正开始爱自己，
我才懂得，把自己的愿望强加于人，
是多么的无礼，
就算我知道，时机并不成熟，
那人也还没有做好准备，
就算那个人就是我自己，
今天我明白了，这叫做
『尊重』。
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.
Today I call it
当我开始爱自己，
我不再渴求不同的人生，
我知道任何发生在我身边的事情，
都是对我成长的邀请。
如今，我称之为
『成熟』。
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.
Today I call it
当我开始真正爱自己，
我才明白，我其实一直都在正确的时间，
正确的地方，发生的一切都恰如其分。
由此我得以平静。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『自信』。
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.
Today I call it
当我开始真正爱自己，
我不再牺牲自己的自由时间，
不再去勾画什么宏伟的明天。
今天我只做有趣和快乐的事，
做自己热爱，让心欢喜的事，
用我的方式，以我的韵律。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『单纯』。
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.
