如何真正的愛自己？

True self-love is not selfish pleasure,
真正的自愛並不是指一個人的享樂
but rather the origin of discipline and willpower.
而是自律和意志力的源泉
Self-love is not giving yourself everything you want,
自愛不是把想要的一切都交給自己
but rather giving yourself the things that are good for you.
而是把對自己有好處的東西交給自己
Spending the weekend eating pizza and watching movies can feel great,
把週末的時間花在吃披薩餅和看電影上，你或許會覺得很棒
but that is not self-love.
但這並不是自愛
Self-love is discipline.
自愛是紀律
It says,
它會告訴你
“You may not like this,
現在的你可能不喜歡這樣
but the future You will want to start this.”
但未來的你會希望你這樣開始走向他
If we simply do whatever we want,
如果我們一味的爲所欲爲
it is akin to letting a toddler run wild and be spoiled.
就像讓一個兩三歲的孩子放任自流，敗壞心性
The parent of a spoiled toddler gives the kid everything they want,
被寵壞的孩子能從父母那裏得到他想要的一切
and the parent believes they are loving the kid,
父母也相信他們是在愛孩子
but their actions are not loving.
但他們的行爲卻不是真正的愛
The kid needs guidance.
孩子需要管教
The kid is chasing pleasure first,
孩子總是首先追求享樂
and as a consequence,
結果
is not acting in their best long-term interests.
他們不能爲了自己的長遠利益行事
If a parent guides and directs a toddler ,
如果父母能夠指導和指引孩子
and the toddler grows up into a mature, responsible person,
孩子就會成爲成熟，具有責任感的成年人
the parent acted in a loving way.
父母的行爲纔是真正的愛
Self-love is being the second parent to yourself,
愛自己就是成爲自己的第二任父母
because we have a tendency to behave like the spoiled toddler at times.
因爲我們偶爾會傾向於做出和被寵壞的孩子一樣的行爲
Self-love is knowing what needs done
自愛既是知道什麼是必須做的
and doing it anyway.
並且堅持完成這件事
Self-love brings actions into your life
自愛會讓你在生活中做出一些舉動
that you don’t regret later.
事後你絕不會後悔
When we allow true self-love to guide our actions,
當我們讓真正的自愛指導自己的行動
it naturally increases our willpower to resist temptations
自然而然，我們抵制誘惑的意志力也會增強
that appeal to the spoiled toddler in all of us.
我們內心的小孩時常會受到這些誘惑的影響
Self-love is looking out for yourself,
自愛是在大局之中看到自己
not in a selfish way,
不是顧影自憐
but in a healthy way.
而是用一種更健康有益的方式
Once we develop this discipline ,
一旦我們練就了這種素質
we can use it in all sorts of life areas,
我們就能在生活的方方面面加以運用
like going to bed early,
比如早睡早起
keeping up with physical activities,
經常鍛鍊
saying no to junk food,
向垃圾食品道別
dedicating time to read and learn,
花時間閱讀和學習
and so much more.
還有很多很多
Quell the spoiled toddler ,
讓心中的小孩安靜下來
become the correct parent of your own mind.
成爲你自己心智的明辨對錯的家長
