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.
每个女人都是件珍宝,只是我们常常忘了自己有多珍贵。每天,我们不是被家务琐事和尿布包绕,就是被脏兮兮的餐具和工作里各种最后期限折腾得迷失了自己,在琐碎中忙碌,并时常感到崩溃。
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.
我整理了一张清单,列出10件所有女性应该记住的事,它们能让我们回归女性的平衡、稳定和精彩。
1. You are beautiful
你很美丽
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.
每个女人都应活得神采飞扬,无论内心还是外在。别让任何事、任何人使你质疑自己的美丽,因为你本就是块独一无二的珍宝。
2. You are strong
你很坚强
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.
有时生活既艰难,又难懂,但无论你面对着怎样的障碍,都要记住你有跨越它们的能力。有时候力量源自你的固执和决绝,但更多的时候,吸取以前的教训,聪明地绕过障碍是你潜在的更大力量。要像火一样勇猛无畏,歼灭一切眼前障碍;更要像水一样具有柔中带刚的力量,安静地绕过挫折,获得胜利。
3. You are THE BEST at being yourself
做自己的时候最棒
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.
你拥有这世上独一无二的天赋。有时我们会觉得:为了更好融入这世界,我们得扮成别人,比如当个称职的妈妈、妻子,或是扮演我们认为人人都会喜欢的形象。然而,无论你多努力,也永远当不了完美的“别人”。只有抛开别人的标准,挖掘自己的潜力,你才能成为最好、最快乐的自己。
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,我们花了许多力气来让别人喜欢我们。而事实上,如果不自爱,别人亦不会爱你。对他人付出的同时,也请记得留一些给自己。花点时间去读书、锻炼吧,或是修指甲、泡个澡……无论哪样,你都值得拥有!
