你為什么要一直做自己?
Because you will:
因為你可以:
1.Live in alignment with your values and beliefs. Being yourself is all about knowing what you believe in and the values that you live by. When you are not yourself, you will take on the values and beliefs of others. This is when you start conforming to other people’s expectations and way of thinking. When you know your values and why you do what you do, you will live according to your own values and beliefs.
按照你的價值觀和信仰生活。做你自己就是要知道你的信仰和你賴以生存的價值觀。當你不是自己的時候,就會接受別人的價值觀和信仰。這是你開始遵從別人的期望和思維方式的時候,當你知道你的價值觀以及你為什么要做你所做的事情時,你就會按照你自己的價值觀和信仰生活。
2.Establish your own identity. When you are able to have a solid foundation of being you, you are establishing your own sense of identity. No matter what happens in your life, you will always know who you are. There will be times where you may feel lost or distracted, but if you have your own identity you’ll be able to get back on the right path. Without establishing your own identity, you may easily conform and lose yourself.
建立自我認同。當你有了成為自己的堅實基礎,你就建立了自己的認同感。無論你的生活中發(fā)生了什么,你總是知道你是誰。有時你可能會感到迷失或心煩意亂,但如果你有自己的認同感,你就能回到正確的道路上。反之,你很容易隨波逐流,迷失自我。
3.Build courage. It takes a great amount of courage when you decide to take the path that goes against the crowd. The reason why the majority of people take the broad path is because it’s easy. It’s easy to just follow the crowd. It’s more of a challenge when you stay true to yourself and establish your own identity. This challenge of always being yourself takes courage and inner strength. No matter what comes your way, you’ll know how to handle it.
建立勇氣。當你決定走與大眾背道而馳的道路時,你需要很大的勇氣。大多數(shù)人選擇這條路的原因是因為它很簡單,因為隨波逐流很容易。更大的挑戰(zhàn)是保持真實的自我,建立自己的認同感。這種挑戰(zhàn)需要勇氣和內(nèi)在的力量。不管發(fā)生什么事,你都知道如何處理。
4. Establish boundaries. When you are always yourself, you know what your limits are and the boundaries that you have set for yourself. When people cross your boundaries, you will know. But if you don’t establish boundaries, people may very well walk all over you and take advantage of you. If you are always yourself and you establish boundaries, you are more likely to be aware when people start taking advantage of you.
建立邊界。當你總是做你自己的時候,你知道你的極限是什么,你為自己設定的界限是什么。當人們跨越你的界限時,你就會知道。但是如果你不設立界限,人們很可能會踩著你走,占你的便宜。如果你總是做你自己,建立了界限,當人們開始利用你時,你更有可能意識到。
5. Find focus and direction. When you are always yourself, you are more likely to have focus and direction in your life. Imagine someone who is constantly conforming to other people’s expectations. Do you think this person has focus and direction? I don’t think so. When you stay true to who you are, you are more likely to know the goals you want to accomplish and how to go about accomplishing them. You are able to stay focused and know which direction to take in order for you to accomplish your goals.
找到重點和方向。當你總是做自己的時候,你更有可能在你的生活中有重點和方向。想象一下,一個人總是符合別人的期望,你認為這個人有重點和方向嗎?我不這么認為。當你做真實的自己時,你更有可能知道你想要實現(xiàn)的目標以及如何去實現(xiàn)它們。你能夠保持專注,知道為了實現(xiàn)你的目標應該朝哪個方向走。
No matter what you experience in life, the only person that will always remain constant is you.
無論你在生活中經(jīng)歷了什么,唯一能保持不變的人就是你自己。
