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：我的生活违背了自己的本心。
今天我明白了，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，把自己的愿望强加于人，
是多么的无礼，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』。
