給自己打氣: 你要對自己說的12句話

1. I am following my heart and intuition.
我聽從我的內心和直覺。

Each of us has a fire in our hearts burning for something. It's our responsibility in life to find it and keep it lit. This is your life, and it's a short one. Don't let others extinguish your flame. Try what you want to try. Go where you want to go. Follow your own intuition. Dream with your eyes open until you know exactly what it looks like. Then do at least one thing every day to make it a reality.
我們每個人內心都有一把燃燒着的火，我們活着的責任是尋找它，並保持它的光芒。這是你的人生，短暫的一生。不要讓其他人熄滅了你的火焰，嘗試你想嘗試的事情，去你想去的地方，聽從你的直覺。睜開雙眼去夢想，直到你清晰地看到它是什麼樣子。然後爲了能實現它，保證每天至少做一點。

And as you strive to achieve your goals, you can count on there being some fairly substantial disappointments along the way. Don't get discouraged, the road to your dreams may not be an easy one. Think of these disappointments as challenges–tests of persistence and courage. At the end of the road, more often than not, we regret what we didn't do far more than what we did.
當你竭力去達成你的目標時，你會遭遇一些挫傷內心的沮喪。不要氣餒，通往夢想的道路並不平坦。把這些失落當做挑戰——對毅力和勇氣的考驗。到了終點時，我們常常後悔我們還有很多事沒去做。

2. I am proud of myself.
我爲自己感到自豪。

You are your own best friend and your own biggest critic. Regardless of the opinions of others, at the end of the day the only reflection staring back at you in the mirror is your own. Accept everything about yourself–EVERYTHING!You are you and that is the beginning and the end–no apologies, no regrets.
你是你自己最好的朋友，又是你自己最大的敵人。不論其他人的意見，一天到頭時，在鏡中給你的唯一映像是你自己。接納自己的一切，一切！你是你，從頭至尾就是你——無需歉意，不要後悔。

People who are proud of themselves tend to have passions in life, feel content and set good examples for others. It requires envisioning the person you would like to become and making your best efforts to grow.
那些會爲自己感到自豪的人常常會對生活充滿激情，感到滿足，爲他人樹立好的榜樣。你要想象你想成爲的人，然後付出你最大的努力去實現。

Being proud isn't bragging about how great you are;it's more like quietly knowing that you're worth a lot. It's not about thinking you're perfect–because nobody is–but knowing that you're worthy of being loved and accepted. All you have to do is be yourself and live the story that no one else can live–the story of your own unique life. Be proud, be confident, you never know who has been looking at you wishing they were you.
爲自己驕傲，不是要吹噓你有多偉大；默默地知道自己存在的價值。不要想着你是完美的——因爲沒人是完美的——但你要知道你是值得被人愛和被人接納的。所有你要做的是成爲你自己，創造一段故事，其他人都不能取代的生活故事，你自己的獨一無二的生活故事。要自豪、要自信，你不會知道會有誰在看着你，他們心裏想着希望能成爲你。

3. I am making a difference.
我在改變。

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
要像你做的事情會帶來改變一樣去行動，的確會帶來改變。

Is it true that we all live to serve?That by helping others we fulfill our own destiny?The answer is a simple‘yes. 'When you make a positive impact in someone else's life, you also make a positive impact in your own life. Do something that's greater than you–something that helps someone else to be happy or to suffer less.
我們所有人活着是爲了服務，是這樣的嗎？幫助他人，我們完成了我們的使命？答案是“是的”。當你對他人的生活產生積極的影響時，積極的影響也帶到了你的生活裏。做些比你更偉大的事——做一些幫助他人感受快樂或減少痛苦的事。

You are only one, but you are one. You cannot do everything, but you can do something. Smile and enjoy the fact that you made a difference–one you'll likely Remember forever.
你是唯一的一個，但你只是一個人。你不可能包攬所有事，但你可以完成一些事。微笑，直面那些你改變了的事實——比如一件你會永遠記住的事。

4. I am happy and grateful.
我很快樂，我很感激。

Happiness is within you, in your way of thinking. How you view yourself and your world are mindful choices and habits. The lens you choose to view everything through determines how you feel about yourself and everything that happens around you.
快樂在你心中，是你思維的表現。你如何看待自己和世界是源自頭腦的選擇和習慣。你選擇來觀察事物的鏡頭，決定了你如何感受自己以及發生在你周圍的一切事。

Being grateful will always make you happy. If you're finding it hard to be grateful for anything, sit down close your eyes and take a long slow breath and be grateful for oxygen. Every breath you take is in sync with someone's last.
時刻充滿感激之心會讓你保持快樂。如果你覺得心存感激很困難，那坐下來閉上眼睛，來一次長而慢的呼吸，感受對空氣的謝意。你的每一次呼吸是某些人的最後一次呼吸。

5. I am growing in to the best version of me.
我在成長爲最好的自己。

Judy Garland once said, "Always be a first rate version of yourself instead of a second rate version of somebody else. " Live by this statement. There is no such thing as living in someone else's shoes. The only shoes you can occupy are your own. If you aren't being yourself, you aren't truly living–you're merely existing.
朱迪·嘉蘭曾說過，“時刻做一流的自己，而不是二流的其他人。” 以此爲戒指導生活。沒有人能活在其他人的影子裏。你唯一能做到的就是成爲你自己。如果你做不到，你不是在生活——你只不過是活着而已。

Remember, trying to be anyone else is a waste of the person you are. Embrace that individual inside you that has ideas, strengths and beauty like no one else. Be the person you know yourself to be–the best version of you–on your terms. Improve continuously, take care of your body and health, and surround yourself with positivity. Become the best version of you.
記住，努力成爲其他人是一種浪費。敞開懷抱去迎接一個有思想、有力量、有審美眼觀的自己。成爲你知道自己能成爲的那種人，在有限的時光裏做最好的自己。不斷提升，照顧好自己的身體健康，保持積極向上的生活態度，成爲最好的自己。6. I am making my time count.
珍惜時間，物有所值。

Time is the most valuable constituent of life. Make the time for what does matter today. Really being in the moment, finding passion in your life, seeing the world and traveling, or just seeing the world that's around you right now, being with great people, doing amazing things, eating amazing food and savoring life's little pleasures.
時間是生命中最有價值的組成部分。今天把時間用在重要的事情上。真真切切地活在那一刻，找到人生的激情，看看世界，旅遊一番，抑或現在僅僅看看你的四周，和偉大的人待一起，做着不可思議的事情，吃着美味的食物，品味生命中的小小喜悅。

Remember, your time is priceless, but it's free. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can spend it, but you can't keep it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back. You really do only have a short period to live. So let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions louder than your words. Make your time count!
記住，時間是無價的，但它是免費的。你不能擁有它，但你可以利用它；你可以使用它，但你不能儲存它。一旦你失去了，你就再也不能得到它。你只有一小段的時光可以活着。所以你的夢想要宏偉，戰勝你的恐懼，你的行動必須要比言語更有力量。讓你的時間有價值！

7. I am honest with myself.
我要忠於自己。

Be honest about what's right, as well as what needs to be changed. Be honest about what you want to achieve and who you want to become. Be honest with every aspect of your life, always. Because you are the one person you can forever count on.
忠實對待正確的以及需要改正的事情。要忠於你想達成什麼，你想成爲什麼樣的人。要忠於生活的個個方面，時刻保持。因爲你永遠能依靠的一個人是你自己。

Search your soul, for the truth, so that you truly know who you are. Once you do, you'll have a better understanding of where you are now and how you got here, and you'll be better equipped to identify where you want to go and how to get there.
捫心自問，這樣你才能真正知道你是誰。一旦你知道了，你就會更明瞭現在你在哪裏，你是如何纔來的這裏，你會更清楚你要往哪兒去，你要如何到達那裏。

8. I am good to those I care about.
我要友善對待我在乎的人。

In human relationships distance is not measured in miles, but in affection. Two people can be right next to each other, yet miles apart. So don't ignore someone you care about, because lack of concern hurts more than angry words. Stay in touch with those who matter to you. Not because it's convenient, but because they're worth the extra effort.
在人際關係中，距離不是由英里來衡量的，而是由感情來決定。即使相隔幾裏，兩個人的心也有可能是貼一起的。所以不要忽視了你在乎的人，因爲關懷的缺失會比氣憤時說的話更傷人。和對你重要的人保持聯繫。不是因爲這是舉手之勞，而是因爲他們值得這額外的付出。

When was the last time you told your family and close personal friends that you loved them? Just spending a little time with someone shows that you care, shows that they are important enough that you've chosen—out of all the things to do on your busy schedule—to find the time for them. Talk to them. Listen to them. Understand them.
最後一次你和家人以及親朋好友們說你愛他們是在什麼時候？和他們共處，雖只是一點點時間顯示的是你的在乎，顯示的是他們對你很重要，找時間和他們共處。交談，傾聽他們，理解他們。

9. I know what unconditional love feels like.
我知道無條件的愛是什麼感覺。

Whether your love is towards a child, a lover, or another family member, know the feeling of giving love and not expecting anything in return–this is what lies at the heart of unconditional love. Life through unconditional love is a wondrous adventure that excites the very core of our being and lights our path with delight. This love is a dynamic and powerful energy that lifts us through the most difficult times.
無論你付出的愛的對象是小孩、愛人，還是其他家庭成員，明瞭付出愛而不期盼任何回報的感受，這就是藏在內心的無條件的愛。被無條件的愛浸潤着的生活是一次歷險，會讓我們最深處的自己激動，照亮我們前進的道路。這種愛是一股源源不斷地強勁的能量，在我們面對困難時能託舉我們前進。

Love is beautiful and unpredictable. It begins with ourselves, for without self-love, we cannot know what true love can be. In loving ourselves, we allow the feeling to generate within us and then we can share it to everyone and everything around us. When you love unconditionally, it isn't because the person you love is perfect, it's because you learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.
愛是美麗和不可預期的。它始於我們自己，因爲不愛自己，我們就不可能知道真愛是什麼樣子。愛自己，這種感受就會在內心萌生，然後我們就能和其他人和周圍的一切分享這種愛。當你無條件地去愛時，不是因爲你愛的人是完美的，而是因爲你學會完美地看待一個不完美的人。

10. I have forgiven those who once hurt me.
我要原諒曾傷害我的人。

We've all been hurt by another person at some point or another–we were treated badly, trust was broken, hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain lingers for too long. We relive the pain over and over, letting them live rent-free in our head and we have a hard time letting go.
我們都曾經被其他人傷害過——我們遭受虐待，信任破裂，心靈被傷害。然而這種痛是正常的，有時候那種痛會持續很久。我們一次又一次地經歷痛苦，讓它們在腦海裏自由浮現，對此難以釋懷。

Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness, it causes us to miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.
妒忌是幸福的最大禁忌，當它發生時，它就會讓我們錯失生活中的美好。寬容，就是釋放囚犯，你會發現那個囚犯就是你自己。

11. I take full accountability for my life.
我要對自己的生活負全部責任。

Own your choices and mistakes, and be willing to take the necessary steps to improve upon them. Either you take accountability for your life or someone else will. And when they do, you'll become a slave to their ideas and dreams instead of a pioneer of your own.
承認自己的選擇和錯誤，願意採取措施去改善它們。要麼是你對自己的生活負責，要麼別人會取代你對你的生活負責。如果是讓他們負責，你將成爲他們想法和夢想的奴隸，而不是你自己夢想的先驅者。

You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life. And no, it won't always be easy. Every person has a stack of obstacles in front of them. But you must take accountability for your situation and overcome these obstacles. Choosing not to is choosing a lifetime of mere existence.
你是唯一能直接控制你生活現狀的人。生活總是不易。每個人的前進路上都有一堆障礙。但是你必須對現狀負責並克服這些困難。選擇不作爲就是在選擇逃避生活。

12. I have no regrets.
我不後悔

This one is simply a culmination of the previous eleven…
這一點是前十一點的總結和精華。

Follow your heart. Be true to yourself. Do what makes you happy. Be with who makes you smile. Laugh as much as you breathe. Love as long as you live. Say what you need to say. Offer a helping hand when you're able. Appreciate all the things you do have. Smile. Celebrate your small victories. Learn from your mistakes. Realize that everything is a lesson in disguise. Forgive. And let go of the things you can't control.
聽從你內心的想法。忠實自己。做讓自己開心的事。和讓你微笑的人一起。盡情地歡笑。放手去愛。說你要說的。若你力所能及就幫人一把。對自己所擁有的一切要心懷感激。微笑。慶祝自己的小成就。從錯誤中吸取教訓。要認識到任何事都是僞裝的教訓和經驗。寬容。對你不能控制的事要放手。
