As_I_began_to_love_myself..._-_Charlie_Chaplin
“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，我的生活背离的真实的自己。今天，我明白，这叫做真实。
As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if 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。即便那个人是我。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，我不在苛求不一样的人生，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，一直处于一个恰好的时机、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，我不在挥霍自己的生命和时间，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，我不在想做到永远正确，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 worrying 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，我不在沉溺于过去，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”.
当我开始真正爱自己，我认识到，我的思虑扰乱了我，使我变得无趣。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。
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”!”
我们无需在害怕生命中的争论、冲突或是任何出现在与我们自己或与其他人之间的问题，因为即使是星星也会有碰撞在一起的时候，而从它们的撞击中，新的世界将会诞生。今天我知道，这就是生命
