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 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,我开始远离所有不健康的东西,不论是饮食、人物、事情亦或环境,远离拖累我、让我背离了真实自我的一切。从前的我称呼这为“有益健康的利己主义”。今天我知道,这其实是「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」。
