自我價值來源於對自我的認可。所以自信一點吧。太多時候，我們都把時間浪費在了與他人的比較之上以及期許自己成為另外的樣子。每個人都有自己的優缺點，只有當你接受全部的自己，無論好壞，你才能真正地找到快樂與成功。

Repeat after me: 「I promise…」

請跟著我說：「我願意......」

「I will accept everything I am, and everything I am not.」

「我願意接受全部的自己，無論好壞。」

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.

「I will appreciate others for who they are.」

「我願意欣賞他人最真實的一面。」

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.

有時候你覺得別人是什麼樣子的，不代表他們就是你所想的那樣。從外表看起來，他們可能歡笑，也可能流淚，但你要為發現他們內在的真實而感到驚奇。所以，仔細觀察你在乎和你愛的人，只因為他們原本的樣子，而不是你希望他們成為的樣子。長遠來看，只有這樣你才能發現他們最好的一面。

「I will speak kindly and consciously to others.」

「我願意心平氣和地與人交談。」

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.

三思而後行。不要因為心情不好而口出惡言。冷靜下來，好好處理一下自己的情緒。你有很多機會可以調整自己的心情，但是一旦說話傷到了別人，就很難再恢復你們之間的關係了。

「I will stop trying to control everything.」

「我願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.

無論你為自己設置多少重保護，你都無法掌控一切。幸運的是，你不需要掌控一切，依然可以找到快樂與寧靜，它們就存在於你內心深處，時刻與你相隨。與其為了控制一切而憂心忡忡，不如有意識地鼓勵自己學會放手。當你鬆開你的掌心，讓生活順其自然，不再施加任何的控制時，看看生活會發生什麼變化。

「I will appreciate the beauty of small moments.」

「我願意欣賞從小處散發出來的美。」

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.

樂觀的人會有樂觀的心態。生活中總是會有東西值得你去感激，去微笑面對。世上最快樂的人不是那些得到了一切想要的東西的人，而是那些在追尋自己的目標的過程中，能夠發現並欣賞每一個小細節中所散發出的美好。

「I will do what I think is right.」

「我願意做我認為正確的事情。」

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.

容易得到的東西不會長久，能夠長久的東西不容易得到。所以，做正確的事不是一件容易的的事。無論你遇到什麼，無論你的內心有多掙扎，你總能做出一個選擇。最終，是你的選擇成就了你是什麼樣的人。事實是，無論怎樣，你總能選擇去做正確的事。

「I will grow from my challenges.」

「我願意從挑戰中成長。」

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!」

在面對挑戰時，你也許會被嚇到，會受刺激，會做出改變，但你應該從挑戰中成長，而不是被挑戰所打敗。跟著我說，「無論我面對的挑戰是什麼，我都要幸福地生活。我會把所有的憤怒轉變為榮耀，讓所有的敵人為我驚嘆！」

「I will realize and use my power.」

「我願意發現並施展我的才能。」

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.

很多情況下，人們放棄自己的才能是因為覺得自己沒有才能。在這個滿是懷疑的世界中，你必須敢於夢想；在這個滿是憤怒的世界中，你必須敢於原諒；在這個滿是仇恨的世界中，你必須敢於去愛；在這個滿是失信的世界中，你必須敢於相信。一旦你這麼做了，你就會找到原本你認為自己不具有的才能。

「I will follow the path my heart longs to take.」

「我願意聽從自己的心聲走下去。」

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，豈能留憾？去愛那些能讓你微笑的事物，放棄那些會讓你哭泣的東西，相信世間萬物的發生都有其原因。追隨心之所向，這是你的閃耀時光。如果機會降臨到你面前，抓住它。如果它會改變你的生活，那就順其自然。你已經不是過去的自己了，未來的路還得由你自己來走。
