双语：我愿意做最好的自己

　　Repeat after me: “I promise…”

　　请跟着我说：“我愿意......”

　　“I will accept everything I am, and everything I am not.”

　　“我愿意接受全部的自己，无论好坏。”

　　Self-worth comes from one thing: thinking that you are worthy. So be confident. Too many days are wasted comparing ourselves to others and wishing to be something we aren’t. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is only when you accept everything you are, and aren’t, that you will truly find happiness and success.

　　自我价值来源于对自我的认可。所以自信一点吧。太多时候，我们都把时间浪费在了与他人的比较之上以及期许自己成为另外的样子。每个人都有自己的优缺点，只有当你接受全部的自己，无论好坏，你才能真正地找到快乐与成功。

　　“I will appreciate others for who they are.”

　　“我愿意欣赏他人最真实的一面。”

　　Sometimes the way you think about a person isn’t the way they are. On the outside, maybe they laugh, and maybe they cry; but you would be surprised at everything they keep deep inside. So pay close attention, and love the people you care about for who they are, and not for who you want them to be. In the long run, this is how you will get the best of them.

　　有时候你觉得别人是什么样子的，不代表他们就是你所想的那样。从外表看起来，他们可能欢笑，也可能流泪，但你要为发现他们内在的真实而感到惊奇。所以，仔细观察你在乎和你爱的人，只因为他们原本的样子，而不是你希望他们成为的样子。长远来看，只有这样你才能发现他们最好的一面。

　　“I will speak kindly and consciously to others.”

　　“我愿意心平气和地与人交谈。”

　　Open your mind before you open your mouth. Don’t mix bad words with a bad mood. Just be calm and deal with your emotions. You’ll have many opportunities to change your mood, but you’ll have an extremely tough time recovering the words you have spoken.

　　三思而后行。不要因为心情不好而口出恶言。冷静下来，好好处理一下自己的情绪。你有很多机会可以调整自己的心情，但是一旦说话伤到了别人，就很难再恢复你们之间的关系了。

　　“I will stop trying to control everything.”

　　“我愿意停止想要掌控一切的想法。”

　　You can’t control everything in your life no matter how many safeguards you put into place. But thankfully, you don’t have to control everything to find peace and happiness. It lives with you always, deep within. More than getting into the nuances of control itself, you should be more interested in encouraging yourself to commit to giving it up, on purpose. See what happens when you loosen your grip, throw your hands into the air, and allow life to just happen and flow as it does, without constant micromanagement.

　　无论你为自己设置多少重保护，你都无法掌控一切。幸运的是，你不需要掌控一切，依然可以找到快乐与宁静，它们就存在于你内心深处，时刻与你相随。与其为了控制一切而忧心忡忡，不如有意识地鼓励自己学会放手。当你松开你的掌心，让生活顺其自然，不再施加任何的控制时，看看生活会发生什么变化。

　　“I will appreciate the beauty of small moments.”

　　“我愿意欣赏从小处散发出来的美。”

　　Positive minds live positive lives. There is always, always something to be thankful for and something to smile about. The happiest people are not those who get everything they want; they are those who, while in pursuit of worthy goals, notice and appreciate the beauty and sweetness of everyday moments.

　　乐观的人会有乐观的心态。生活中总是会有东西值得你去感激，去微笑面对。世上最快乐的人不是那些得到了一切想要的东西的人，而是那些在追寻自己的目标的过程中，能够发现并欣赏每一个小细节中所散发出的美好。

　　“I will do what I think is right.”

　　“我愿意做我认为正确的事情。”

　　What comes easy won’t always last, and what will last won’t always come easy. So do the right things, not the easy things. Whatever comes your way, whatever battle is raging inside you, you always have a choice. In the end, it’s the choices you make that make you who you are. And no matter what, you can always choose to do the right thing.

　　容易得到的东西不会长久，能够长久的东西不容易得到。所以，做正确的事不是一件容易的的事。无论你遇到什么，无论你的内心有多挣扎，你总能做出一个选择。最终，是你的选择成就了你是什么样的人。事实是，无论怎样，你总能选择去做正确的事。

　　“I will grow from my challenges.”

　　“我愿意从挑战中成长。”

　　You can be stunned, awakened, and changed by what happens to you, but choose to grow from it, and refuse to be reduced by it. Repeat after me: “I am determined to live a happy life no matter my challenges. I will turn all my tales of fury into tales of glory. I will turn all of my tales of woe into tales of WOW!”

　　在面对挑战时，你也许会被吓到，会受刺激，会做出改变，但你应该从挑战中成长，而不是被挑战所打败。跟着我说，“无论我面对的挑战是什么，我都要幸福地生活。我会把所有的愤怒转变为荣耀，让所有的敌人为我惊叹!”

　　“I will realize and use my power.”

　　“我愿意发现并施展我的才能。”

　　The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. In a world filled with doubt, you must dare to dream. In a world filled with anger, you must dare to forgive. In a world filled with hate, you must dare to love. In a world filled with distrust, you must dare to believe. And once you do, you will find that power you once thought you lacked.

　　很多情况下，人们放弃自己的才能是因为觉得自己没有才能。在这个满是怀疑的世界中，你必须敢于梦想;在这个满是愤怒的世界中，你必须敢于原谅;在这个满是仇恨的世界中，你必须敢于去爱;在这个满是失信的世界中，你必须敢于相信。一旦你这么做了，你就会找到原本你认为自己不具有的才能。

　　“I will follow the path my heart longs to take.”

　　“我愿意听从自己的心声走下去。”

　　Life is too short to live with regrets. So love the things that make you smile, let go of the things that make you cry, and believe that everything happens for a reason. Follow the path that your heart longs to take; it’s your time to shine. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. You are far from what you once were, but not yet who you are going to be.

　　人生苦短，岂能留憾?去爱那些能让你微笑的事物，放弃那些会让你哭泣的东西，相信世间万物的发生都有其原因。追随心之所向，这是你的闪耀时光。如果机会降临到你面前，抓住它。如果它会改变你的生活，那就顺其自然。你已经不是过去的自己了，未来的路还得由你自己来走。
