When I started loving myself
I understood that I’m always and at any given oppor tunity
in the right place at the right time.
And I understood that all that happens is right –
from then on I could be calm.
Today I know: It’s called TRUST.
當(dāng)我開始愛我自己

受賜于恰當(dāng)?shù)臋C(jī)遇。
我理解曾經(jīng)發(fā)生的一切都是對(duì)的，
過后我能夠獲得平靜。
今天我明白：這就是『信任』。
When I started to love myself
I understood how much it can offend somebody

even though I knew the time is not right and the person was not ready for it,
and even though this person was me.
Today I know: It’s called LETTING GO.
當(dāng)我開始愛我自己，
我明白試圖把自己的欲望施加于這人時(shí)將會(huì)多么無禮，
即便我知道時(shí)機(jī)并不合適，這人還沒有做好準(zhǔn)備，
即便這人是我自己。
今天我明白：這就是『放手』。
When I started loving myself
I could recognize that emotional pain and grief
are just warnings for me to not live against my own truth.

When I started loving myself
I stopped depriving myself of my free time
and stopped sketching further magnificent projects for the future.
Today I only do what’s fun and joy for me,
what I love and what makes my heart laugh,
in my own way and in my tempo.
Today I know: it’s called HONESTY.
當(dāng)我開始愛我自己，
我不再逼迫自己忙個(gè)不休，也不再刻畫未來宏偉藍(lán)圖。
今天我只做有趣和讓我快樂的事，我愛做的事，讓我開懷大笑的事，
以我自己的方式，以我自己的節(jié)奏。
今天我明白：這是『誠(chéng)實(shí)』。
When I started loving myself
I escaped from all what wasn’t healthy for me,
from dishes, people, things, situations
and from everyhting pulling me down and away from myself.
In the beginning I called it the “healthy egoism”,
but today I know: it’s called SELF-LOVE.
當(dāng)我開始愛我自己，
我開始逃離一切對(duì)我身心不健康的事物，饕餮、別人、瑣事、境遇
逃離一切讓我沉淪、讓我遠(yuǎn)離自己的事物。
起初我稱之為“健康的自我”，
今天我明白了：這是『自愛』。

and worry about my future.

我不再活在過去，也不再憂慮將來，
現(xiàn)在我只活在當(dāng)下，一切正在發(fā)生，
如此我度過每一天。我稱之為『覺醒』。
When I started loving myself
I recognized, that my thinking
can make me miserable and sick.
When I requested for my heart forces,
my mind got an important partner.
Today I call this connection HEART WISDOM.
當(dāng)我開始愛我自己，
我明白思考可能讓我生病，生命悲慘。
當(dāng)我呼喚內(nèi)心的力量時(shí)，
我的意志將發(fā)生作用。

We do not need to fear further discussions,
conflicts and problems with ourselves and others
since even stars sometimes bang on each other
and create new worlds.
Today I know: THIS IS LIFE!
我們將不再害怕我們和別人之間深遠(yuǎn)的討論、爭(zhēng)議和問題，
因?yàn)樾切腔ハ嗯鲎矔r(shí)將創(chuàng)造新的世界。
