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 “AUTHENTICITY”.

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，这叫作真实。

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if 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 “RESPECT”.

当我真正开始爱自己，

我才懂得，

把自己的愿望强加于人，

是多么地无礼，

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，这叫作尊重。

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. Today I call it “MATURITY”.

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 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 “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

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，这叫作自信。

As I began to love myself I quit stealing 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. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

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，这叫作单纯。

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

当我开始真正爱自己，

我开始远离一切不健康的东西。

不论是饮食和人物，还是事情和环境，

我远离一切让我远离本真的东西。

从前我把这叫作“追求健康的自私自利”，

但今天我明白了，这是自爱。
