《当我真正开始爱自己》

分享一首卓别林写的诗

《As I Began to Love Myself》

《当我真正开始爱自己》

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

我才意识到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨

仅仅是在提醒，我的生活背离了真实的自己

今日，我明白，这叫做「真实」

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 RESPECT.

当我真正开始爱自己

我才懂得，当我将自己的意愿强加于人时

是多么的冒犯无礼，即使那时我知晓时机尚未成熟

那个人也并未做好准备，即便那个人就是我自己

今日我明白这叫做「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. Today I call it MATURITY.

当我开始真正爱自己

我不再苛求不一样的人生

我明白任何发生在我身边的事

都是对我成长的邀约

而今，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

我才明白在任何情况下

我其实一直处于恰好的时机、恰好的地方

而每件事的发生也都恰如其分

由此，我得以平静

今日，我称其为「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

我不再挥霍自己生命和时间

不再去擘画波澜壮阔的未来

今天的我，只做能为我带来喜悦和幸福的事

做那些我所热爱，且能鼓舞我心的事情

用我特有的方式，按照我自己的节奏

今日我知晓这叫做「简单」

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is MODESTY.

当我开始真正爱自己

我不再总想做到永远正确

从那时起，我犯错的时候反而更少了

现在我发现那就是「谦逊」

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it FULFILLMENT.

当我开始真正爱自己

我不再继续沉溺于过去，也不再为明天而忧虑

如今，我只活在这一切正在发生的当下

今天，我活在此时此地

如此日复一日，而我称这为「圆满」

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection WISDOM OF THE HEART.

当我真正开始爱自己

我明白，我的思虑扰乱了自我，使我变得了无生趣

但当我与本心相连

心灵的力量就成为了我坚实的后盾

今日我称这种连结为「心灵的智慧」
