给每个女孩的10条建议

kim

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！

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。

　　真正的富有来自内心。钱很重要，但你对待金钱的方式也很重要。假如赚钱是你生活的唯一目标，那即使成为百万富翁，你也不会觉得开心。把钱看成是维持生存的工具吧，而不是能带来快乐和幸福的源泉。现在开始，写下5件能让你觉得自己很富有的事，并把这张纸贴在醒目的地方。

6. You deserve pursuing your passion

你有追逐梦想的权利

　　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?

　　梦想使你完整。一旦失去它你便将失去自己。是不是偶尔会觉得，你已经不记得自己16岁时的模样了？那时候的自己，为什么总可以这么开心？是什么东西给了你热情，让你有动力去追逐自己的梦想和人生？

　　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。

　　无论你距离16岁有多遥远，那个小女孩其实仍然存活在你心中。虽然现在的你可能背负着各种责任和义务，但你仍旧该为梦想留存着位置。

7. Your sensitivity is your biggest power

敏感正是你最强大的武器

　　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。

　　你如花朵般娇弱，需要爱的滋养。不要拒绝偶尔的示弱，让你的爱人来帮助你吧。将收到的关爱加倍扩散到整个世界，这是你最大的能力。

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。

　　过充实的人生意味着你将变得勇敢无畏，来保护自己坚持的东西，追寻自己的梦。我们每天都面对着挑战，你面对选择时有多大的勇气决定了你能过怎样的人生。不要贪图安逸，勇敢地去过想要的充实人生吧。

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。

只要你的内心还存有微光，只要你始终明白自己有多珍贵，你就是上帝最完美的杰作。

10. You are what you want to be

你就是你想成为的自己

　　Our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves. We must learn to respect them. We must learn to listen。

　　我们心中最深刻的愿望就是内心真实自我的呼声。我们需要学习尊重和倾听内心的声音。
