As I Began to Love Myself
当我开始爱自己
作者：查理·卓别林
01
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：活着，不要违背自己的本心。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『真实』。
02
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』。
03
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，我其实一直都在正确的时间，
正确的地方，发生的一切都恰如其分。
由此我得以平静。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『自信』。
04
As I began to love myself
I quit steeling 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，
我不再牺牲自己的自由时间，
不再去勾画什么宏伟的明天。
今天我只做有趣和快乐的事，
做自己热爱，让心欢喜的事，
用我的方式，以我的韵律。
今天我明白了，这叫做
『单纯』。
05
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，
我开始远离一切不健康的东西。
不论是饮食和人物，还是事情和环境，
我远离一切让我远离本真的东西。
从前我把这叫做"追求健康的自私自利"，
但今天我明白了，这是
『自爱』。
06
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，
我不再总想着要永远正确，不犯错误。
我今天明白了，这叫做
『谦逊』。
07
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".
当我开始真正爱自己，
我不再继续沉溺于过去，
也不再为明天而忧虑，
现在我只活在一切正在发生的当下，
今天，我活在此时此地，
如此日复一日。这就叫
『充实』。
