As I Began to Love Myself

当我开始爱自己

Charlie Chaplin on his 70th Birthday

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.
当我开始爱自己，
我发现所有痛苦和情感折磨，
只不过是在提醒我：
活着，不要违背初心。
今天，我明白这叫“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.
当我开始爱自己，
我懂得，将私欲强加于人多么无礼，
尽管我知道，时机不对，人也没准备好，
即便那个人是我自己。
今天，我管它叫“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，
我理解发生在我身边的任何事，
都在激励我成长。
今天，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.
当我开始爱自己，
我明白在任何情况下，
我都占尽天时地利，发生的一切都刚刚好，
因而我能保持平静。
今天我明白，这是“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.
当我开始爱自己，
我不再浪费自己的时间，
不再为未来制定宏伟计划。
今天，我只以自己的方式和节奏,
做给予我快乐和幸福的事，
做自己喜爱、让心愉悦的事，
今天我明白，这叫“简单”。

As I began to love myself
I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health
– food, people, things, situations, and everything the drew me down and away from myself.
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is LOVE OF ONESELF.
当我开始爱自己，
我抛弃一切对健康不利的事物，
无论是食物、人、事、环境，
抛弃让我远离真我的一切。
最初我称这种态度为“健康的利己主义”，
今天我明白，这是“自爱”。

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.
当我开始爱自己，
我不再试图追求永远正确。
从那时起，我犯的错误少了。
今天我发现，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.
当我开始爱自己，
我拒绝继续活在过去，担心明天。
如今，我只活在一切正在发生的当下，
今天，我活在每一天，日复一日。
我称之为“成就”。

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.
当我开始爱自己，
我意识到，我的思想会让我烦忧、生病。
但当我把思想与内心连接，
它就变成我的重要盟友，
今天，我把这种组合称作“心的智慧”。

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others.
Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born.
Today I know THAT IS “LIFE“!
我们不再需要害怕与自己或他人发生争论、对抗或其他任何矛盾。
即便星辰也会碰撞，产生新的世界。
今天我明白：这就是“生命”。
