愛自己
14. Love Yourself
原則 (Principle)
Principle
如果你不愛自己，沒有人能真正愛你，此外你也永遠無法獲得幸福。任何心與智間的衝突都會在外在形象與品格上產生負面反映，而你的內在世界也會變得越來越陰沉。最重要的是，首先學會愛自己，然後再關心他人的優點。必須明白：鐘擺 (Pendulum) 迫使你改變，迫使你轉離內心，遵循那條規則：「他們比你優秀，所以模仿他們，成為他們的一員，僅僅成為齒輪之一。」實際上，你是獨一無二的。向內探索，接受真正的自己，堅持自己正確的權利。如此，你就會擁有令自己驕傲並能自我尊重的理由。（Note: 本段強調自愛與拒絕盲目模仿的重要性）
If you don’t love yourself, no one else will, and what’s more, you will never be happy. Any conflict between the heart and mind reflects negatively on a person’s appearance and character. Correspondingly, the shades of your personal world will turn ever darker. Above all, love yourself, and only then pay attention to the positive qualities of others. It is important to feel and understand the following: pendulums force you to change, to turn away from your heart and follow the rule that states, ‘they are better than you, so do what they do, be like them, take your place in the matrix, be nothing more than a cog.’ In reality, you are unique. Go inside, accept yourself as you really are, and assert the right to be right. Then you will have something of which you can be proud and a reason to respect yourself.
詮釋
Interpretation
一旦一個人長期走在迎合他人標準的道路上，要突然開始愛自己是十分困難的。「如果我連自己都不喜歡，怎能愛自己呢？」這正是由過高的內外在重要性 (Importance) 所產生的多餘潛能 (Exceed potential)。所謂外在重要性 (Importance) 指的是你把他人的標準視為完美典範，你是否過於看重他人的優點？而內在重要性 (Importance) 則是你強迫自己追隨他人標準的表現。誰說你比他們低賤？也許你的自尊心太低了。要愛自己，就把外在重要性 (Importance) 從神壇上踢下來，放棄偶像崇拜。是誰阻礙你樹立自己的標準？反讓他人來追逐你吧！釋放你內在過高的重要性 (Importance)，放飛自我，寬容對待自己的缺陷，專注於自己的長處。（Note: 鼓勵放下過分的自我要求，重視個人獨特性與自我接納）
Once a person has gone a long way down the road of conforming to other people’s standards, it is difficult for them to start suddenly loving themselves. “How can I love myself if I don’t even like myself?” This is pure excess potential born of inflated inner and outer importance. It is outer importance in that you perceive someone else’s standards as the epitome of perfection. Are you not perhaps valuing other people’s qualities too highly? Inner importance is present in forcing yourself to follow other people’s standards. Who says that you are any less worthy than they are? Is your self-esteem perhaps a little too low? To love yourself, kick outer importance off the pedestal and give up the idol worship. Who is stopping you from setting your own standards? Let others chase after you instead! Drop your own inner importance and let yourself go. Give yourself the luxury of having shortcomings and focus your attention on your strengths.

如果你不愛自己，沒有人會愛你，更何況你永遠不會快樂。心靈之間的任何衝突都會對一個人的外貌和性格產生負面影響。相應地，你個人世界的色調將變得越來越暗。首先，愛自己，然後再關注他人的優點。重要的是要感受並理解以下內容：鐘擺 (Pendulum) 迫使你改變，讓你遠離內心，遵循這樣的規則：“他們比你好，所以做他們做的事，像他們一樣，成為矩陣中的一個齒輪。”實際上，你是獨一無二的。向內探索，接受真實的自己，並堅持自己的權利。這樣你就會擁有值得驕傲的東西和尊重自己的理由。

一旦一個人長期遵循他人的標準，就很難突然開始愛自己。“如果我連自己都不喜歡，怎麼能愛自己呢？”這是源於膨脹的內外重要性 (Importance) 的純粹過剩潛力 (Exceed potential)。這是外在重要性，因為你將他人的標準視為完美的化身。你是否過於高估他人的品質？內在重要性在於強迫自己遵循他人的標準。誰說你比他們差？你的自尊是否有點過低？要愛自己，就要將外在重要性從神壇上踢下來，放棄偶像崇拜。誰阻止你設立自己的標準？讓別人追隨你吧！放下自己的內在重要性，讓自己自由。給自己擁有缺點的奢侈，將注意力集中在自己的優勢上。

若你不愛自己，無人會愛你，你永不快樂。心與頭腦的任何衝突對外貌與性格負面反映。相應地，你的世界層色調更暗。首先愛自己，然後注意他人的正面品質。重要的是感受理解：擺錘迫你改變，背離心靈，遵循“他們比你好，做他們做的，模仿他們，在矩陣中定位，僅是齒輪”的規則。實際上，你獨特。走進內心，接受真實的自己，宣稱正確的權利。然後你有可驕傲之物與自重的理由。

一旦人走遠順從他人標準之路，突然愛自己很難。“若我不喜歡自己，怎能愛自己？”這是內外重要性誇大產生的純過剩潛能。外在重要性在於你視他人標準為完美。你是否過高評價他人品質？內在重要性在於強迫自己遵循他人標準。誰說你不如他們？你的自尊是否過低？要愛自己，將外在重要性踢下神壇，放棄偶像崇拜。誰阻止你設自己的標準？讓他人追你！放下自己的內在重要性，放開自己。給自己擁有缺點的奢侈，聚焦你的優點。
