and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.</P>
today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness,</P>
things I love to do and that make my heart cheer,</P>
and I do them in my own way</P>
and in my own rhythm.</P>
today I call it</P>
'hoNEStY'.</P>
当我开始真正爱自己,</P>
我不再牺牲自己的自由时间,</P>
不再去勾画什么宏伟的明天。</P>
今天我只做有趣和快乐的事,</P>
做自己热爱,让心欢喜的事,</P>
用我的方式,以我的韵律。</P>
今天我明白了,这叫做</P>
『单纯』。</P>
As I began to love myself</P>
I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health –</P>
food, people, things, situations,</P>
and everything that drew me down and away from myself.</P>
At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.</P>
today I know it is</P>
'LoVE oF oNESELF'.</P>
当我开始真正爱自己,</P>
我开始远离一切不健康的东西。</P>
不论是饮食和人物,还是事情和环境,</P>
我远离一切让我远离本真的东西。</P>
从前我把这叫做“追求健康的自私自利”,</P>
但今天我明白了,这是</P>
『自爱』。</P>
As I began to love myself</P>
I quit trying to always be right,</P>
and ever since I was wrong less of the time.</P>
today I discovered that is</P>
'modEStY'.</P>
当我开始真正爱自己,</P>
我不再总想着要永远正确,不犯错误。</P>
我今天明白了,这叫做</P>
『谦逊』。</P>
As I began to love myself</P>
I refused to go on living in the past</P>
and worry about the future.</P>
Now, I only live for the moment,</P>
where EVERYthING is happening.</P>
today I live each day, day by day,</P>
and I call it</P>
'pERFEctIoN'.</P>
当我开始真正爱自己,</P>
我不再继续沉溺于过去,</P>
也不再为明天而忧虑,</P>
现在我只活在一切正在发生的当下,</P>
今天,我活在此时此地,</P>
如此日复一日。这就叫</P>
『完美』。</P>
As I began to love myself</P>
I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick.</P>
but as I connected it to my heart,</P>
my mind became a valuable ally.</P>
today I call this connection</P>
wISdom oF thE hEARt.</P>
当我开始真正爱自己,</P>
我明白,我的思虑让我变得贫乏和病态,</P>
但当我唤起了心灵的力量,</P>
理智就变成了一个重要的伙伴,</P>
这种组合我称之为,</P>
『心的智慧』。</P>
we no longer need to fear arguments,</P>
confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others.</P>
Even stars collide,</P>
and out of their crashing new worlds are born.</P>
today I know</P>
that is LIFE!</P>
我们无须再害怕自己和他人的分歧,矛盾和问题,</P>
因为即使星星有时也会碰在一起,</P>
形成新的世界,</P>
今天我明白,这就是</P>
『生命』。
