當我真正開始愛自己，
我才認識到握侧，所有的痛苦和情感的折磨蚯瞧，
都只是提醒我：活著嘿期，不要違背自己的本心。
今天我明白了埋合，這叫做“真實”备徐。
當我真正開始愛自己，
我才懂得甚颂，把自己的愿望強加于人蜜猾，
是多么的無禮，就算我知道振诬，時機并不成熟蹭睡，
那人也還沒有做好準備，
就算那個人就是我自己贷揽。
今天我明白了棠笑，這叫做“尊重”。
當我開始愛自己禽绪，
我不再渴求不同的人生蓖救，
我知道任何發(fā)生在我身邊的事情，
都是對我成長的邀請印屁。
如今循捺，我稱之為“成熟”。
當我開始真正愛自己雄人，
我才明白从橘，我其實一直都在正確的時間，
正確的地方础钠，發(fā)生的一切都恰如其分恰力。
由此我得以平靜。
今天我明白了旗吁，這叫做“自信”踩萎。
當我真正開始愛自己，
我不再犧牲自己的自由時間很钓，
不再去勾畫什么宏偉的明天香府。
今天我只做有趣和快樂的事，
做自己熱愛码倦，讓心歡喜的事企孩，
用我的方式、我的韻律袁稽。
今天我明白了勿璃，這叫做“單純”。
當我開始真正愛自己，
我開始遠離一切不健康的東西蝗柔。
不論是飲食和人物闻葵，還是事情和環(huán)境，
我遠離一切讓我遠離本真的東西癣丧。
從前我把這叫做“追求健康的自私自利”，
但今天我明白了栈妆，這是“自愛”胁编。
當我開始真正愛自己，
我不再總想著要永遠正確鳞尔，不犯錯誤嬉橙。
我今天明白了，這叫做“謙遜”寥假。
當我開始真正愛自己市框，
我不再繼續(xù)沉溺于過去，
也不再為明天而憂慮糕韧，
現(xiàn)在我只活在一切正在發(fā)生的當下枫振，
今天，我活在此時此地萤彩，
如此日復一日粪滤。這就叫“完美”。
當我開始真正愛自己雀扶，
我明白杖小，我的思慮讓我變得貧乏和病態(tài)，
但當我喚起了心靈的力量愚墓，
理智就變成了一個重要的伙伴予权，
這種組合我稱之為，“心的智慧”浪册。
我們無須再害怕自己和他人的分歧扫腺，
矛盾和問題，因為即使星星有時也會碰在一起议经，
形成新的世界斧账，今天我明白，這就是“生命”AS I BEGAN TO LOVE MYSELF
CHARLIE CHAPLIN ON HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything the drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism.
Today I know it is LOVE OF ONESELF.
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.
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.
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.
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“!
