Every woman is a treasure but way too often we forget how precious they are. We get lost in daily chores and stinky diapers, in work deadlines and dirty dishes, in daily errands and occasional breakdowns.
每個女人都是件珍寶,只是我們常常忘了自己有多珍貴。每天,我們不是被家務(wù)瑣事和尿布包繞,就是被臟兮兮的餐具和工作里各種最后期限折騰得迷失了自己,在瑣碎中忙碌,并時常感到崩潰。
I put together a list of 10 things that all women should remember in order to stay balanced, grounded and amazing as we are born to be.
我整理了一張清單,列出10件所有女性應(yīng)該記住的事,它們能讓我們回歸女性的平衡、穩(wěn)定和精彩。
1. You are beautiful
你很美麗
Every woman deserves to shine in this world, inside and out. Don’t let anything or anyone let you doubt how beautiful you are because you are a gem like no other.
每個女人都應(yīng)活得神采飛揚(yáng),無論內(nèi)心還是外在。別讓任何事、任何人使你質(zhì)疑自己的美麗,因為你本就是塊獨一無二的珍寶。
2. You are strong
你很堅強(qiáng)
Life sometimes seems too hard and difficult to understand but no matter what obstacles are standing in your way right now you have the power to overcome them. Sometimes your strength lies in stubbornness and determination but even more often it is hidden in your ability to go around obstacles and learn from the previous mistakes. Be strong as a fire that crushes everything in its way and like water that finds a way around any obstacle with gentle determination and a peaceful flow.
有時生活既艱難,又難懂,但無論你面對著怎樣的障礙,都要記住你有跨越它們的能力。有時候力量源自你的固執(zhí)和決絕,但更多的時候,吸取以前的教訓(xùn),聰明地繞過障礙是你潛在的更大力量。要像火一樣勇猛無畏,殲滅一切眼前障礙;更要像水一樣具有柔中帶剛的力量,安靜地繞過挫折,獲得勝利。
3. You are THE BEST at being yourself
做自己的時候最棒
You have unique gifts and talents that no one else in this world has. Sometimes we feel that we need to be someone else in order to fit in, be a better mother or wife, or portray an image that we believe everyone else will love. No matter how hard you try to be someone else you will never be good enough. You will do the best and be the happiest only if you stop living by someone else’s standards and start using your unique potential to shine like a light in this world.
你擁有這世上獨一無二的天賦。有時我們會覺得:為了更好融入這世界,我們得扮成別人,比如當(dāng)個稱職的媽媽、妻子,或是扮演我們認(rèn)為人人都會喜歡的形象。然而,無論你多努力,也永遠(yuǎn)當(dāng)不了完美的“別人”。只有拋開別人的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),挖掘自己的潛力,你才能成為最好、最快樂的自己。
4. You deserve being taken care of and cherished
你值得被珍惜
We spend a big part of our lives trying to make others like us. The truth is that no one will ever like you if you don’t start loving yourself first. Give your love to others like you do every day already but don’t forget to leave some for yourself. Spend some time reading your favorite book, exercising, giving yourself a manicure or enjoy a relaxing bubble bath. You are worth it!
在一生中,我們花了許多力氣來讓別人喜歡我們。而事實上,如果不自愛,別人亦不會愛你。對他人付出的同時,也請記得留一些給自己?;c時間去讀書、鍛煉吧,或是修指甲、泡個澡……無論哪樣,你都值得擁有!
5. You are rich.
你很富有
True wealth comes from within. Of course, money matters but so does the way you spend and treat it. If money is the only purpose of your life then you will never feel rich even if you become a millionaire. Treat money the way it was meant to – as means to existence rather than the ultimate source of happiness and joy. Right now write down 5 things that make you a rich person and keep this list where you will always see it.
真正的富有來自內(nèi)心。錢很重要,但你對待金錢的方式也很重要。假如賺錢是你生活的唯一目標(biāo),那即使成為百萬富翁,你也不會覺得開心。把錢看成是維持生存的工具吧,而不是能帶來快樂和幸福的源泉。現(xiàn)在開始,寫下5件能讓你覺得自己很富有的事,并把這張紙貼在醒目的地方。
6. You deserve pursuing your passion
你有追逐夢想的權(quán)利
Your passion is the integral part of you, the minute you lose it you will start losing yourself. Did you ever feel that you hardly even remember the girl you were when you were 16? What gave you that enthusiastic drive to pursue your goals and dreams?
夢想使你完整。一旦失去它你便將失去自己。是不是偶爾會覺得,你已經(jīng)不記得自己16歲時的模樣了?那時候的自己,為什么總可以這么開心?是什么東西給了你熱情,讓你有動力去追逐自己的夢想和人生?
No matter how many years passed since you were 16, that girl still lives inside of you. Even though today you have responsibilities, chores and THE schedule you still need to make room for your passion.
無論你距離16歲有多遙遠(yuǎn),那個小女孩其實仍然存活在你心中。雖然現(xiàn)在的你可能背負(fù)著各種責(zé)任和義務(wù),但你仍舊該為夢想留存著位置。
7. Your sensitivity is your biggest power
敏感正是你最強(qiáng)大的武器
You are delicate as a flower and you need love to survive. Don’t be afraid to show your weakness every once in a while and let your loved ones help you. Your power lies in multiplying the love and care that you receive and spreading it in the world around you.
你如花朵般嬌弱,需要愛的滋養(yǎng)。不要拒絕偶爾的示弱,讓你的愛人來幫助你吧。將收到的關(guān)愛加倍擴(kuò)散到整個世界,這是你最大的能力。
8. You are courageous
你很勇敢
Living a full life means being bold and courageous in order to protect what you stand for and aspire for your biggest dreams. Every day we face choices and the course your life is taking depends greatly on how courageous you are when making decisions. Don’t settle for the easiest choice but rather use your courage to live a bold and full life.
過充實的人生意味著你將變得勇敢無畏,來保護(hù)自己堅持的東西,追尋自己的夢。我們每天都面對著挑戰(zhàn),你面對選擇時有多大的勇氣決定了你能過怎樣的人生。不要貪圖安逸,勇敢地去過想要的充實人生吧。
9. You are perfect
你很完美
You are the masterpiece of perfection as long as you let your inner light shine and know how invaluable you are.
只要你的內(nèi)心還存有微光,只要你始終明白自己有多珍貴,你就是上帝最完美的杰作。
10. You are … what you want to be
你就是你想成為的自己
Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen.?
我們心中最深刻的愿望就是內(nèi)心真實自我的呼聲。我們需要學(xué)習(xí)尊重和傾聽內(nèi)心的聲音。
