When I Started Loving Myself 當我開始愛自己 作者：查理·卓別林 As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotionalsuffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know,this is “AUTHENTICITY”. 當我真正開始愛自己， 我才認識到，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨， 都只是提醒我：我的生活違背了自己的本心。 今天我明白了，這叫做 『真實』。 As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offendsomebody as I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not rightand the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”. 當我真正開始愛自己， 我才懂得，把自己的愿望強加于人， 是多么的無禮，就算我知道，時機并不成熟， 那人也還沒有做好準備， 就算那個人就是我自己， 今天我明白了，這叫做 『尊重』。 As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything thatsurrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call it “MATURITY”. 當我開始愛自己， 我不再渴求不同的人生， 我知道任何發(fā)生在我身邊的事情， 都是對我成長的邀請。 如今，我稱之為 『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 rightmoment, so I could be calm. Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”. 當我開始愛自己 我才明白我其實一直都在恰好的時機 恰好的地方、恰好的時間 我才明白發(fā)生的一切都恰到好處 從此我得以平靜 今天我明白了，這叫做 『自信心』。 As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects forthe future. Today, I only do what brings me joy andhappiness, things I love to do and that make my heartcheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “HONESTY”. 當我開始真正愛自己， 我不再犧牲自己的自由時間， 不再去勾畫什么宏偉的明天。 今天我只做有趣和快樂的事， 做自己熱愛，讓心歡喜的事， 用我的方式，以我的韻律。 今天我明白了，這叫做 『誠實』。 As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no goodfor my health – food, people,things, situations, and everything that drew me down and awayfrom myself. At first I called this attitude a healthyegoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”. 當我開始真正愛自己， 我開始遠離一切不健康的東西。 不論是飲食和人物，還是事情和環(huán)境， 我遠離一切讓我遠離本真的東西。 從前我把這叫做“追求健康的自私自利”， 但今天我明白了，這是 『愛自己』。 As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of thetime. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”. 當我開始真正愛自己， 我不再總想著要永遠正確，不犯錯誤。 我今天明白了，這叫做 『謙遜』。 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 “PERFECTION”. 我當開始真正愛自己， 我不再繼續(xù)沉溺于過去， 也不再為明天而憂慮， 現在我只活在一切正在發(fā)生的當下， 今天，我活在此時此地， 如此日復一日。這就叫 『完美』。 As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb meand 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. 當我開始真正愛自己， 我明白，我的思慮讓我變得貧乏和病態(tài)， 但當我喚起了心靈的力量， 理智就變成了一個重要的伙伴， 這種組合我稱之為， 『心靈的智慧』。 We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems withourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds areborn. Today I know That is LIFE! 我們無須再害怕自己和他人的分歧，矛盾和問題， 因為即使星星有時也會碰在一起， 形成新的世界， 今天我明白，這就是『生命』！
